lo squardo di ulisse festival
arrived at venue an abandoned metal factory near the sea and mountains…really interesting. lots of found art just lying around here…quite a setting.
this festival is film, concert, and djset …fontella bass, pole, and many interesting world artists will appear here over the next 10 days…not to mention amazing cinema. i opened roadcases to find broken line6 pedal and an mpc boot error which took awhile to figure out in the desert like sun…i’m dripping with sweat. finally everything is set after rebuilding the line 6. it’s been a wild tour for gear craziness and all with no tech support. dinner is superb mussels, swordfish, gnocci, salata mista…
the show: after ’25th hour’ screens we take the stage to an awesome backdrop of special efx lighting and projections. we were banging right out of the gate with ‘get ready’. sound is superb and consistent. highlights: supa sista, 4 minutes of fun, what?, and return to innocense lost. the audience was great with everyone by sets end hanging at the stage. a big success..and we are invited to return in the winter. so this is the end.
a good tour, no doubt…beers consumed, back to hotel…tomorrow we leave for a layover nite in amsterdam. i’m planning to go to the city for a walk around since i’ve never been.
