WEDNESDAY

I spoke too soon on my last post..so today i'm writing in grey to reflect my mood!!Just when we thought the suit was becoming our friend...it turned on us. It was Nic's turn to wear it and as she was going through the dance, we were getting a different outcome. Sometimes the same samples were being triggered but sometimes not, unlike yesterday when it was pretty repetetive. So, i thought it may be due to the fact that i was wearing the suit yesterday and therefore, performing the moves slightly different. I put the suit on, we calibrated it but the same was happening for me too. We also adjusted the suit with the key to make sure it hadn't become loose over the last few weeks. Perhaps each time we calibrate we are going to get a slightly different result. The battery then died on us so we had to go back to the lab.
There were a couple of videos on the net of the midi suit and what people have done with it. Their projects appear to be a lot less complex compared to ours. They have very few triggers and repeat the movement a lot whilst having a backing track that gives most of the effect. Of course, we are not trying to just 'punch' a few effects out of the suit but are working to create a song, which is connected with a 'non-simple' dance.
