Performing in Lindemannsalen at "pen uke" November 2007. New beginning and end section. New midi controllers: finger trigger and Sl remote from ReMote., and the Yamaha footboard.We used SIMPLER for working with long samles and filters and IMPULSE to play short samples and filtering them live.
I also sampled live from the midi instruments and from the marimba.
Performing at Slemmestad kirke November 2007. New ellements: Better time on the improvisations. more focus on the transformations between sections were the goal. Used the blowing controll from Infusion systems and the joystick from Logitech 3D extreme for the first time.
