July was a really weird month, weird enough to be te best july of my life. At the beginning of the month my friend Alex Martin wanted me to do a vjset in a town near to Barcelona in a festival called MMT. This was the first vjset for non-demoscene people and that was enough to move to Spain just for a weekend.

On friday I went to "La Paloma" as it was a nice club years ago, but It really dissapointed me, now they play breakbeats and not very cool music for the kind of club as it is. So then I started to think about the Saturday gig and had to went to home to slept, and work some more effects. The place was really nice, outdoor, some free drinks for the artists and when I was on the top I felt something like eminem says on his movie. There was not a lot of people but was enough to think, c'mon! show'em what you can do!.. Hehe, was a nice 10seconds feeling :) Then I tested the tool and I was really disappointed, the projecter had a really long delay, when I had to do the visuals was really had to sinc the beats, so I finally decided to swap the effect mode to get the ambient sound as looked better than trying to do it manually and with the delay. At 3am started to rain (one of the worst summer rains at Barcelona) so the festival was canceled :( Anyway, I had enough time to do some vj and as well I was projecting some demos to visualize the audio lives. Another problem there was the fact that there was no djset, just lives, that means that the musician plays some musics and when the music finish, the music finish, and you have to stop and change to another effect, and that's not very nice for a vj :) Anyway, I honestly want to thank Alex Martin and Protozoo for that chance.
