Our touring life just got way more comfy and complicated

What is a proper breathing technique? Not being facetious. I genuinely don't know.
Basic “belly” breathing, control of long breaths.
Not lifting your shoulders when you inhale.

In through nose, out mouth with different degrees/speeds of exhaling.

Am I making any sense!?!?!
Those are pretty much the basics you can easily do when on stage in the “moment” when shizzle gets ruff to relax as much as possible.

I learned that stuff pretty early when I was young doing competition Judo.
Man did I get rag dolled in those years.
 
don’t you guys have a driver?
or does someone in the band have the bus driving license?

Right now, either the singer or the road manager drives. Don’t need a special license if it’s registered as a recreational vehicle :)

Junk Bunks for all! ;)
Almost! The bus only has 6 bunks (there are 4 of us) and the back lounge is currently a master bedroom. 6 bunks is perfect because the lounges can be bigger. Still get two junk bunks!

OK, I had to look up "Link Removed" - I never really went on the road back in my band days beyond driving to gigs...
 
Kinda starting to get the hang of the Oxi-One sequencer. Did a pretty goofy jam today using Oxi to sequence modular. Used Just Friends (as a VCO) into an L-1 filter, Instruo Arbhar and Mimeophon. Most percussion is a Squarp Rample. Kodamo EssenceFM did the rest
