Cos of tiring arms? I discovered similar watching students using the Kinetic with osceleton. If your "home position" is too ambitious it become more like stress position torture to maintain it. The shoulders get tired first, then (especially with too much weight at the hands if you are holding a controller too) the ulners go numb.
every performance i do is complete improv. before a show, i only practice scales, gestures and rhythm excercises. The TED performance was comptely improv. in fact, it was supposed to be drum and bass, then half way thru i changed my mind.
Jolly good. I am somewhat surprised. But how much musical flexibility would you say there was? You must start with a constrained set of sounds/synths. Can you scroll through different banks of prepared material using the "HUD" (I didn't really understand how that works to be honest) Thanks for sharing these thoughts. Good to have you jump in and enlighten us on the performance.
cheers, a.
