oooh…una corda?

karst · 2019-02-11T21:01:51.161Z

yes indeed. I’m spending some time just outside Budapest with David Klavins assisting with building pianos and testing out some new experiments.

A couple shots and the flier from my recent performance at Drone Camp 2 here in Austin, Texas.

It was a really fantastic night and one of those shows where everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there—audience, organizers, and performers alike.

It was also only my second live outing using the monome grid in conjunction with grainfields in Max for Live. What a great combination those two are.

I’m hoping to release some edited recordings from my set and the practice sessions leading up to it.

A couple photos from my release show for Batch 0008 (Batch 0008 by New Tendencies on SM-LL). I performed with the same basic setup as I used on the album - 3 panel Serge, Hinton SwitchMix, OTO BIM and BAM, and a mixer.

I sat with my back to the audience so they could get a good view of what I’m doing, rather that staring at the back of my Serge boats.

The projection is a generative drawing I created in Processing and sometimes use as ambient visual/lighting when I perform.

I’ll have audio to share soon.

Hi! I’m new here:)

disquiet · 2019-02-12T04:55:31.623Z

Nice. What operating system are you running?

instantjuggler · 2019-02-12T09:32:45.746Z

looks great!! what’s the projection on the wall behind you? i’m always so curious about live visuals at concerts.

fyoosh · 2019-02-12T10:21:52.350Z

I’ve seen these headphones in a few photos, can I ask what they are?

currently packing things up for a major relocation. Have a nice big system waiting for me in storage on the other side but this is what I mainly have been working with during my excursions through other parts of this planet. Plus some undisclosed pedals and stuff…

I’m of the opinion that a modular system on a piano is pretty much perfection.

loma · 2019-02-12T15:00:40.416Z

Thanks!

The visuals are by Ether Wave Light Show (https://www.facebook.com/etherwaveprojections/), who primarily do old-school projection work—liquid light shows and the like. On this evening, it seemed like a combination of liquid light show and some VHS camera feedback, maybe combined with some other analog equipment. It was pretty neat.

(And no knock against anime—I’m a fan of quite a few anime films—but I was a little bummed about the anime displayed on the projection wall. Some other show had been scheduled previously to ours.)

I haven’t worked with Ether Wave before. They were doing the visuals for every performer at the event, and I didn’t get a chance to chat. They are among the folks who regularly do visuals at a local venue here in Austin called the Electric Church.

It’s a windows 10 machine. Pretty bare bones, right now I’m only using it to run Ableton and Overbridge.

disquiet · 2019-02-12T17:40:11.526Z

Thanks. You doing an touch-screen work with it?

disquiet · 2019-02-12T17:42:29.767Z

They are inexpensive Jabra Move headphones. Despite that cord, they are (also) Bluetooth.

fyoosh · 2019-02-12T17:59:53.710Z

Thanks, I like the shape and could do with some headphones, maybe I’ll give them a try.

disquiet · 2019-02-12T18:22:38.086Z

Yeah, they work pretty well. I’d never had a pair of Bluetooth headphones, so when Wirecutter gave them a thumb’s up and they were on sale, I picked up a pair.

instantjuggler · 2019-02-12T19:50:30.355Z

Thank you so much for all the information, I will look them up for sure!
