Black Swords

Gigs

Preamble

Black Swords played four gigs before deciding to become a studio band and so to make one last gig. Each one were filmed with B.Iron's analogic video camera (that's not made to take sound in a gig). There are much camara operators (among others: Dedman, Fabienne, K.Dich, ΚΦ and Sabrina), each one more or less talented, often, the camera operator changed after a few songs, some didn't film some pieces (×), once, the video camera's battery where disgarged at the end of the gig (φ), beside that, the transfer into digital files were made by Gloom that never made this before, when he didn't knew much about it, there are files where sound and image are desynchronised (%) and the files were not well cut first, then, not finding any good free software for it, it's still not done (but it will be as soon as possible), moreover, there has been problems during the file compression (that might be fixed in the future): some files were impossible to compress (?) and some others have little problems after the compression (!). For those reasons, the quality is far to be professionnal and, with the fact that we refuse to publish the covers on this website (©), all the pieces are not available.

Beside that, the video files are in the Ogv format, that has been choosen for its quality and for it is a free standart format (free in the sense of freedom). If you have no software that can read it, here are some that can do it:

Here are also plugins for some software originaly unable to read the Ogv format:

The files are presented in the running order and the gigs order is ante-chronological.
