Opening for Someone Important -- How to Make Good Impression?

i never saw this thread! you (s) mentioned this gig in that other thread and now i want to hear what you played!!

I played this set/piece twice -- at this gig, where the electronics were too loud, and then again six months later, where the drums were too loud. Maybe if I go back and tweak the recordings a bit the balance will be decent enough to serve as okay documentation

I have nothing to add, but this is such a super interesting premise for a thread, and I wish it'd gotten more discussion! I'm not a musician but it's weird how even as an academic I find myself thinking about similar things for the composition of a panel and its anticipated audience.

^this is so hard, I don't think I've ever gotten the balance right

(live drums vs electronics)

xp - I have to be on a panel tomorrow evening, and I suggested changes to the speaker order so that I wouldn't be positioned awkwardly in terms of my topic!
