This is all the stuff Kirk and I had to set up. It was a lot of work, but fun! It's great working with Kirk. |

Lots of laptops.. Lots of electronics... Lots of everything! |

Randy Jones started the night off with a piece called "Six Axioms". He played the radio drum which is a set of drumsticks with sensors on it, and you can hit the pad to trigger something/make noise, and it also deals in 3D space. It was great. The visualizations were top notch. |

Second was Ajay Kapur. Wow, this guy always amazes me. He played his sitar, and he had a robotic drummer too right in front of him. It was really well done! He played a piece called "Parvati's Circus". |

Third performance was Graham Percival on the KiOm (which is an accelerometer), and Jeff Morton on the piano. Lots of vibrato that's for sure. Interesting piece. They played a piece called "Allegro Appasionato" by Camille Saint-Saëns. A KiOm detects movement and acts accordingly. Tilt, movement... Yeah that kind of stuff. It's crazy. |

Next was LUVLEE. Pretty much Kirk McNally, Jeff Morton, and Adam Tindale made a soundtrack for a silent film called "La Jetée" by Chris Marker. It was cool. But I thought their practice was a lot better cause it had a darker feel to it. |

And then last is Andrew Schloss. He played a piece called "Can You Hear the Shape of a Drum?". He also used the radio drum. It was actually a very nice piece. Overall, another great concert... Two good concerts in two days. That's not bad! |
