いよいよ明日が発表初日です。3週間という非常に短い制作期間でしたが、その期間内で今自分ができる最高の仕事をしたつもりですし、今はその充実感で一杯です。明日からの公演が楽しみです。

At last we're going to have the first show on tomorrow evening.. Now I'm quite satisfied with what we've done in those 3 weeks. It was a bit short time to finish a theater piece but we've done our best for this work. I'm looking forward to the show now.

今回の滞在中に色々とライヴセットを試してみて、最終的に上の写真のようなセットになりました。ミキサーにはMIDASの16トラックのアナログミキサー、その右横に見えるのがYAMAHA SREV1(サンプリングリバーブ)、メインマシンにPowerMac G4 dual 1.4GHzを使用して、Logic7をインストールしています。PowerBookにはMAX/mspが起動していて、Logicで流すオケに音を足していく感じで使用します。オーディオインターフェイスにはRME Hammerfall DSP Multifaceを2台使用。Logic7からHammerfall経由で8トラックをパラアウトして、それをMIDASのミキサーに立ち上げています。今回初めてMIDASのミキサーとYAMAHA SREV1を使用したんですが、この二つの機材のポテンシャルには本当に驚かされました。。特にSREV1の音質、扱いやすさには脱帽です。ライヴ用には設計されていないだろうけれど、リアルタイムに複数のパラメータを変化させる事ができて、更に音質にも妥協が感じられない。僕にとってライヴ用としてホントに文句のつけようのないマシンです。コレ欲しい。今回作曲の段階の音源にはKORG TRITON extremeとKORG Z1を使用しました。KORGさん、ありがとうございました。

I tried some setups for my LIVE set for this project, and finally I decided to use those equipments. I use 16 tracks analog mixer from MIDAS, and you can see a controller of YAMAHA SRE1(sampling reverb). and PowerMac G4 dual 1.4GHz for a main machine and I installed Logic7 on it and MAX/msp on the PowerBook. And I use two RME Hammerfall DSP multifaces for those two computers as audio interface. This time I was impressed by MIDAS mixer and YAHAMA SREV1 which i've used for the first time. Especially SREV1 has incredible sound quality and operability. I don't think this was designed for LIVE performance, but even if i change a lot of parameters in real time, it still keeps great sound quality. I really wanna get this someday.
This time I use KORG TRITON extreme and KORG Z1 for production. Thank you very much KORG.
