Chaoyang, 24ºC, scattered showers
A friend on the programme is really keen on the band Jurassic 5. I must admit I am not at all familiar with the group, nor am I well versed in their DJ style. However, I thought it would make for a different music experience compared with my classical training.
The DJ was a cool and lively figure on the stage with all of his DJ equipment. A close up camera feed was projected onto a projector by the bar, and rather than be caught up in the sweaty crowd on the main floor, we decided to sit back and enjoy the show in front of this projector.
I had never experienced a concert like it. Lights flashing and shining in all directions, seemingly co-ordinated with every move the DJ made. He mixed song after song, an everlasting source of music. As a classical musician, I would typically reject such music, but I was taken in by the occasion, the lights, the music, the atmosphere. The performance didn’t exactly blow me away, but I certainly enjoyed this new musical experience.
