With our 1st International openEHR Conference coming up soon, it has been suggested that we could potentially put together a small live band from the openEHR Community (or that part of the community who can make it to the Conference!)
We have a few people interested, and we can facilitate bringing some of the equipment needed. It’s looking like we will have microhones, mixer, a digital piano, a PA system, and some guitar amplifiers.
It’s unlikely that we will get to rehearse, so it will likely be somewhat ‘ramshackle’, but I reckon if we have a few people who are able to read from chord charts/lyric sheets, we might just get away with it.
If interested, reply below with some info about what instrument you’d be playing, and I’ll add you to the private message we have going for planning what were doing.
Just to update the community, we have had a bit more time to put together some planning for the musical session at the Conference. We are going to style it a little more like an ‘open mic night’ type of thing, rather than trying to put together a polished set.
We will have a ‘backing band’ The Archetypes composed of @Pete_Bouvier (drums/cajon), @xabiermichelena (piano/keys/vocals), @johnmeredith (guitar), and me @marcusbaw (guitar/vocals), and we will have a few numbers we can jam out together.
But we’d really like it if anyone else at the conference wanted to jump up and sing a couple of numbers, or play something. You can play solo or we in the band can back you.
I will be bringing equipment (PA, various guitars, microphones, etc) which you will all be welcome to use as I know some people may be coming quite a distance and it would be impractical to pack your guitar!
