The Analog Girl at Cafe Pause

Here are a few shots (the rest after the jump) of the performance by Singapore’s The Analog Girl at Cafe Pause, this past Friday (August 17). I also recorded video of a few tracks, but unfortunately the completed file ended up being too big (1.7GB), and caused problems when I tried to transfer it. Thanks to everyone who showed up — I expect we’ll be doing more of these low-key performances at the cafe in the near future.

Yeah, it did get pretty crazy in the middle — flashbacks from Iron Maiden back in ‘89… Hehehe… It was a great little show, and I really liked that she used the DS’ ELECTROPLANKTON during tracks to add sounds.

Electroplankton! I couldn’t remember the name of it. I thought it was cool that she found a use for it beyond simple mucking around.
Nice little setup she had, actually.
