As the night progressed, I found I had a lot to learn. That, and just about anything that looks cool onstage that the performer has a limb or two to make contact with, and a little personality (preferably acerbic, and the meaner the better) is all it takes to fit in.Īt least I thought it was. Yet, these only proved that most one-mans fall into an all-too-similar vein - a style built from elemental blues riffs piled on top of simple, 4/4 rock rhythms, interlaced with so-sloppy-it’s-brilliant slide guitar work, and various styles of screaming through old-fashioned microphones. His set also inspired some discussion on the difference between one-man-band and singer/songwriter (the latter, it seems, is under no requirement to appear onstage alone, with multiple instruments - as far as we could figure). Reverend Deadeye serenaded us for a while with mock fire and brimstone, and encouraged us to keep on getting “drunk on Jesus.” Austin’s Tom Vandenavond took a traditional approach with acoustic guitar and harmonica, and offered some respite from the other performers’ attacks. The Limbs thrilled a smallish crowd with his simple setup, spitting vocals as he smashed his hi-hat with the neck of his guitar, which only made the guitar’s heavy sound even more crunchy. Most of the lineup fit the traditional one-man bill perfectly. The ten performers on the schedule showed that all you have to do to rock is do it all, and add a smidge of creative flair to stand out. Local record label Pygmy Mountain Music joined with 3 Kings Tavern on July 12 to showcase a few of them in the first-ever Denver International One-Man-Band Fest, reportedly the only one of its kind in the world.
It’s the latter group that put themselves on stage as a one-man-band - performing with total musical independence, total responsibility. There are some artists that need to be alone, and then there are those that just plain can’t play with anyone else. Reverend Deadeye, above, was one of the many acts that played the recent Denver ONE Fest.

* Nisha, Elena and Mudit are using the same code * Theory and Practice of Tangible User Interfaces The third motor controls the bobbing head, while the fourth one is responsible for impinging the tin lamp screen from the inside. Two of the motors are responsible for controlling the rattle and the maraca, which manifest themselves in the form of arms. We are using 4 Arduinos to control 4 Servo motors. It sounded like a great idea and we we forged ahead with it. Someone suggested that it could represent a caricature of a one man band, replete with arms and legs. We started with a lamp screen and brainstormed ideas around what role it could play in an interactive musical instrument. In our endeavour to make a sonorous musical instrument, we wanted to explore the sounds different materials make on being impinged.
