Quarantine Online Sets: Version 21

Los Angeleno was back on Facebook highlighting three musicians. Los Angeleno doesn't do live sets. Instead, they allow the musicians or bands to do pre-recordings ranging from 8 to 15 minutes. Some artists use it to put together low cost music videos. Others play it straight. There are a wide range of uses that makes it a fun hour of music. Also, the advantage to their presentations is that it gets rid of the horrid sound and picture quality that can often pop up during a live stream (which I'm guessing is highly dependent on the quality of the recording devise and WiFI of the musician or band).

On this particular Friday night, Dustin Wong starting things off with synth sounds that as time went by was soothing in a way. The video we viewed was broken into four sections. The upper right and lower left windows showed water scenes. The upper left focused on his pedals that he would twist with his hands or tap with his feet. The lower right focused on his two keyboards.

Nancy Sanchez came on next with Spanish folk sounds that bounced pleasantly against the walls of her home. She used a wide angle camera that curved her keyboard. Between songs, she cut away to a screen that introduced the name of the next song.

Closing out the night was Sunny War who played some blues from her bedroom. I was fascinated by just watching her pick those guitar strings. It felt like it was time to go to a honky tonk bar and let it hang out on the dance floor. The goal on the dance floor would be to see if your feet could keep up with the speed of her fingers and see if your fitness would allow you to outlast hers.
