In fact, their albums are released on Karet's Firepool Records label. The music is a mix of ambient and electronic, with floating keyboard and guitar notes mixing with pulsing rhythms and intricate musical patterns. I think a lot of ProgDay attendees didn't quite know what to make of this band, since they just came out, put their heads down and played music for about an hour and a quarter, only stopping to address the audience briefly a couple times. My recording came out pretty well. When I first listened to it, it sounded really muddy and muffled, so I filtered out a bit of the low end and boosted the high end, and it sounded much better. Then I read someone else's review of this year's ProgDay and they mentioned that Herd of Instinct sounded really muffled, so my original recording was probably a better representation of how the set sounded. But the filtered version sounds a lot better to me - you can hear guitar and keyboard parts that were almost completely buried in the muck before, so I stuck with it. Herd of Instinct's web site: http://herdofinstinct.wix.com/herdofinstinct About ProgDay: ProgDay is an outdoor festival of progressive rock held annually over Labor Day weekend every year since 1995. The first year it was only one day (thus the singular "Day" in the name), but in 1996 it was expanded to two days and has been featuring eight or more of the best prog bands from around the world every year since. There's often a Friday night preshow and/or a Saturday night show at a nearby nightclub so that a few more prog bands can be showcased. It's definitely worth the trip if you're a prog fan and don't mind a little sun and a little driving around. The main event takes place at beautiful Storybook Farm, unless rain forces it indoors (which has fortunately only happened a couple times in the festival's history). It's a relaxed atmosphere, where you can listen and watch from anywhere you want - if you really like a particular band or want to get a better look at an instrument or performer, you can go sit right in front of the stage or stand along the side of the stage. Some people listen to the bands while shopping for CDs and merchandise in the vendor tent or getting food in the pavilion or playing games in the field behind the audience. The atmosphere is relaxed, the people are friendly, and the band members often hang out all weekend taking in the show, selling merchandise and chatting with fans when they're not on stage. If you're a prog rock fan and can possibly attend, make every effort to be there next year. The festival runs on a very tight budget, so every ticket sold really helps. |
