Malta Steiner at Münzviertel Strassenfest

evan — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 05:18:12 +0000

Very few people may have attended this Malta Steiner gig, but hopefully we can bring it to a wider audience on the internet. His description on the video page is pretty classic.

It was windy,cold and wet, few people, monitors kept collapsing, in short: a typical Hamburg streetfest. I expected the worst, a new low in my career, but it was fun and good test of equipment.

Please note the small black netbook which ran the whole show, together with Archlinux and a realtime kernel. Csound replayed the loops from the studio, process them and provided synthesis for my solos. Right now I am booking some shows, perhaps Notstandskomitee comes to a place near you. [1]

I think we can all commiserate with Malta on this, and applaud him for toughing it out and playing a nice set!

With the Blurred Vision of a Newborn

This piece unites Cage’s conception of graph music with ideas from the field of swarm intelligence. The software uses a graph of notated musical fragments to generate a score in real-time, for live performance. It does this by allowing a swarm of virtual insects to crawl over the graph, choosing new fragments with each move.
