Fritz Quartet rehearsal with Nightsound

6 October 2007 7pm.
"Circus in Motion": Rehearsal

Today, we had our first rehearsal with Nightsound. We had met REQ, Alan and Euge previously when we discussed the collaboration in September, so it was great to finally meet everybody today!

Alan on Drums
Euge on Bass
REQ on Vocals
XR on Keyboards
Kevin on Guitars

We also had the chance to rehearse with other guest musicians, Luke, as well as Edmund (saxophone)

We couldn't really hear ourselves due to the size of the room (apparently there was some miscommunication with the studio, who didn't give us the biggest room!) Imagine 12 people (plus XUN) in one tiny room.. Should have taken a picture of Euge perched precariously on top of a speaker due to the lack of space (Haha!) We tried to solve the problem by using mics, but ultimately the 2 people in the room who suffered the most were probably REQ and XR who had to absorb the sounds coming from all directions.

Apart from the glitch, rehearsal went well! Kudos to XR and REQ for helping out with the string quartet scoring. Chan Boon dropped by as well to give us pointers on his composition which we would be performing, immediately after the piece "Remember Me" on the 14th.

We had an early night as we managed to sort out the music - it was a very easygoing rehearsal and we are looking forward to the show on the 14th!

(Counting bar rests...) Max, Johnny, Bingling and part of REQ's head.

Gotta take public transport.

P.S: Updates on actual day show coming up- once we get the photos!
