A new line-up of my beloved funk-project "The Roots Of Funk", performing live at jazzclub Fasching in Stockholm 100305. The song is 777-9311, one of my absolute The Time favorites. It´sa real challenge to make it sound good and groovy live, especially in regard to the complex rythmic drummachine patterns programmed on the original track. We tried to capture that same feel but in a live situation. A big hand to our drummer Andreas who made an outstanding job keeping all the patterns going with only two hands and two feet. The footage is a sync from a DV camera recording with the raw audiofiles I was handed from the sound engineers mixing console (48 tracks). I put them on my harddrive and made a rough mix at home using Logic 9. The instrument separation is quite good I think (but on the downside it lacks some audience ambience).
