This week i pitched to the other members of the group my ideas for the final ensemble performance. I wanted to make the performance into a rock and roll trio award ceremony, celebreating trio's throughout the ages. I would like to have an actual host for the ceremony and have a short video about each trio on the projector above. These short videos would be the memebers of our band dressed up and acting like famous musicians talking about their experiences of the trio in question. I feel that this would not only be original and different, but would allow the audience to understand each trio both musically and personally. The other members of the band loved this idea and now i will be going to work with the videos and perfecting the songs we have chosen.
We then worked on Knights of Cydonia which in my eyes, went really really well. I managed to hit the high notes of Matt Bellamy which i was very happy about. We all work really well as a band and when there was one piece that Patch couldn't play, we just 'four counted' into the next section so he could learn it later. I think that is one thing that i have learned playing in this trio, that you have to be so tight with each other and very understanding. As a trio is so bare bones and for all to see, every section of a song we play has to be tight and without mistakes. With this type of relationship between band members, improvised sections flow with ease. If everyone is on the same page and can just 'feel' when to start and stop, a sort of magic happens that only a trio can achieve.
