It went well! Friday night on Thames:
My live improv set was on a boat as part of NAUS #2, an intimate live electronics night curated by Stephen Shiell as part of his residency on board. Two others on the bill amazed me: Tom Hirst playing his self-built synth modules very smoothly! and Mohammed Rowe with feedbacky textures and transients using Max!
I was the final one. A classic: Mid-set my GameBoy running LSDJ tracker ran out of battery! But I spontaneously switched to SameBoy LSDJ emulator alongside my Cardinal patch and it was OK to keep improvising. Some of the audience sat around on the floor to see things happen up close, which I liked. I definitely was not sending emails from the stage :D
A proper reflective writing with full sounds and credits is on its way on my new blog elifyalvac.com/blog
But for now, two mini excerpts merged in this clip: Cardinal and LSDJ.
Thank you @dreamer and @falktx - Cardinal live first time on a boat on the Thames worked out! And thanks again @mosgaard for recommendations!
