Wow, i am jealous that you've watched them perform. Definitely little to go on here in the states, mostly heard about them through the Wire mag. And I had the same impression as you first did regarding how they made their music, I find your direction, using triggers, much more compelling. keep on, its great work!
Hi Toby,Funny you noticed.. is he well known out of Japan?

wow, really liked this! Are you a fan of the work of Asa Chang at all?
Primitive concepts of my work included triggering patches on my Dumbek.
After getting as far as hooking up pickups, I met recordings by "Asa-chang & Junrei" which kind of turned me off, getting to know what they had already achieved.
But then, later from visiting one of their concerts.. although I could be wrong, my understanding as of today is that their concept is to play sophisticated rhythms along with pre-recorded tracks.. not specifically triggering sounds on their drums.
This discovery gave me a reason to get back to my desk and continue working, although I still gave up using percussions to avoid obvious overlaps in the resulting sound.
I still highly respect their work, and wouldn't mind driving 3 hours to the concert hall like I did previously. :)

In order to avoid dealing with the PC at all, I actually assigned
all controls to the functions keys on my soundcard.. However, you've
stated a great point that, to the viewer it is equally distracting
and doesn't matter where I reach out to.
Thanks for the helpful tip. I'm already on my way to program my foot
controller.
Cheers

Nice! I like the mix of media, live guitar plus computer sound
plus live
visuals. The staging is well done too, it took me a little while to
realize that you were being lit by the screen of your laptop.
You were
barely looking at it, so its a clever way to keep the laptop
there yet
not make it a typical staring-at-the-screen laptop performance.

find a bit distracting when you did press the keys on the laptop

You should post a video of the whole performance, if you have it.

Hi all,
I've uploaded some excerpts of a piece I performed last night.

Nothing fascinating going on, especially in terms of DSP
business, but I
was quite fascinated to try out myself what a single laptop
can manage
nowadays.
