One Man Band and How it can simplify the production of music

I started my one man band in 2008 as a direct reaction to the economic climate of the time - gigs started to dry up and peoples' weddings were more cut-down affairs, with DJs or even just a sound system with someone's playlist going through it. I had to keep working and as such came up with this as there's only one person to pay and it's all volume controllable. I did quite a few gigs like this. It did become a little too complicated with keyboards and different sounds and what was lost was the spontaneity of it, and I also used a loop pedal to play solos over the top. However, that made it more self-indulgent than communicating with the audience. More songs and fewer solos.... It's also had an impact on how I produce my own music, whether it be for a recording session, library music, etc. It also had an impact on how I taught music to people - a live jamming band with a pupil, whose rhythmic intent and listening rose as a result. No backing tracks that wouldn't be flexible in any way... Enjoy and Share! Subscribe to my channel....
