My goal is to be able to replace a non-functional 88-key keyboard in my rig with a comparable functional unit (and an appropriate protective case to ensure longevity), to be able to play the upcoming show in November my band has already booked and needs me for. Measurable outcomes would include successfully obtaining a keyboard to play for this upcoming gig and other future shows in order to appropriately perform with the ensemble of musicians I play with. If I am unable to obtain a keyboard through this grant there will be a great lack in audio quality for the performances creating a sound that does not accurately reflect the true quality and timbre of our music. The keyboard is the Arturia KeyLab 88 and the case is the Gator GK-88 88-Key Lightweight Keyboard Case on Wheels. I will perform with my bands, ?lamode and Prone, on November 30th at the Red Herring Lounge. If I am able to incorporate the replacement keyboard into my existing live rig, and perform with it on November 30th (and onward), the goals of my project will have been met. This would be measurable through the sonic quality of the performances of my two bands.
Purchased the keyboard necessary to fill the role of the broken gear. Purchased a case for the keyboard to prevent wear and tear due to frequent transportation. Was able to seamlessly incorporate the gear into my performance set-up, with no detriment to my ability to perform, nor to the quality of sound.
