Marc Lowe - Live at Asagaya Ten 阿佐ヶ谷天 on July 12, 2024

This video is courtesy of the livehouse, from their「配信」live broadcast on the night of the performance (July 12). I am very thankful that they allowed me to use this slightly-modified video on my page.
Although the video is essentially the same as what was broadcast and shared on the Asagaya Ten page (link below), I added some titles to the beginning and equalized the sound for a slightly better (and louder) sonic experience. Many thanks to Asagaya Ten for hosting the "Ten Solos" event, and to "Tsubatics" for inviting me to perform.
This was in fact my first live performance in front of an "actual" audience since late March, and it really felt good to "just play" in front of people instead of an iPhone or Zoom camera lens for a change! I have another performance coming up at the end of this month, as well as next month -- the first all-acoustic (Borders - Shimokitaza 下北沢), the second with video projections -- it will be noisier and more "electronic" (Nepo - Kichijoji 吉祥寺)...
Note that this video is not in the standard 1040 HP quality I favor, but in 720 HP, as this was the format of the original and I could not change it. It is, nonetheless, in "HP" quality, and the video is clear and filmed from a close angle. I had tried to do my own video in 1040 HP via my iPhone on a stationary stand, as is customary, but discovered after the performance, too late, that my iPhone storage had already been nearly full (too many photos, videos, and audio downloads!) when I began the video recording, and I hadn't brought the Zoom camcorder, so I only got the first three or so minutes of the performance, much to my chagrin. Luckily, the full performance had been filmed and broadcast for the Asagaya Ten channel live on that evening, so I was able to later request a copy of the video to use here as well. It arrived this evening, and so...voila! Enjoy.
