Introduction

Welcome to yet another chapel session post! In this post I will discuss the ups and downs of last night's session.< h2> Session overview In last night's session, We got set up and filmed our own performance so we could get the experience of setting up the equipment needed for a chapel session. I helped out with the RTU students by playing keyboards with our very disorganised band.

positive aspects

The experience overall was a learning curve for me as I haven't had extensive experience with setting up the microphones and coiling the cables.

negative aspects

The whole event was hugely disorganised in terms of us putting some material together, and there was one point where the drummer and guitarists were disagreeing about whether they were in time or not.

Summery of the session

Overall, the session was disorganised, but most of the experiences were relevant and useful for learning the production rolls and different technical aspects of a chapel session.

Chapel session for october 14th

14th October 2013 session

In yesterday's chapel session, we watched a band being recorded, and helped with the tidying up of the equipment. The band was a Welsh rock band called the Selurians, and they performed 2 songs. The songs were Dosey Rosey and knocking.

technical processes and takes

The first song the band recorded was Dosey Rosey, and the song took 9 takes overall to get right as the band was quite disorganised at first. This was quite a learning curve for me as I was used to an organised environment. Also, the band did leave at somewhat inconvenient times, but we dealt with the technical and organisational problems proffessionally, but light-heartedly.

Summary

All in all, I think that the band put on a great performence which did have its moments, but it made the whole experience a learning curve and an experence never to forget!
