Live Stage

How do you trigger a sound effect live on stage?

I have a band and I am looking for new ways to trigger sound effects when we play shows. Any ideas?

FORWARD

Kal Bashir's 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

SITUATIONAL AND STRUCTURAL STORYTELLING

It's important to get away from this idea that all stories are different.

On a situational level all stories are. For example, Gladiator (2000), Alien (1979) and The Godfather (1972) all are situationally very different.

But on a structural and subconscious level, they're all the same.

And I don't mean basic structure, like three act structure (of course stories have a beginning, middle and end). And I don't mean plot points etc either (Plot Point 1 and 2, Midpoint etc).

I mean, sequence by sequence, the vast majority of successful stories [we haven't found one that doesn't] follow the same process that pushes the Hero and Major Characters through the process of Transformation and Challenge Resolution.

What this means is that you, as a writer, must confidently understand this structure (Kal Bashir's 188+ stage Hero's Journey), use it to establish your structural outline and then superimpose your situation over it.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

AFTERLIFE ACT

Many successful stories go beyond the Freedom to Live stage. An Afterlife Act closes successful stories or prepares them for continuation.

In Out of Africa (1985), Denys' burial follows a very specific pattern.

In Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005), the Supernatural Aid awaits the coming of the next generation, according to a very specific pattern.

In Conan the Barbarian (1982), Conan becomes king and lives on, according to a very specific pattern.
