Here are excerpts from 100% live audio recordings
(no sequencing, no midi editing, no over-dubs)
real-time explorations of a few of the several
interactive modal/rhythmic/orchestral environments that I've designed
to serve as frames for improvisational encounters & collective explorations,
everything was performed in real-time on - or rather "aboard" -
my voice-controlled harmonized and/or reversed & sometimes arpeggiated canon system.
(The "virtual" band responds to the notes that I hum in its general direction
through my audio-to-midi conversion microphone booth/oxygen mask)
In this first playlist, "Reza" (which could be the spanish imperative form
of the verb "to pray/meditate" or a male Persian name)
by the great Jaco Pastorius is the leitmotiv, it also contains references
to John Coltrane's "Wise One" & "A Love Supreme" (in part 3/7)
& a nod to Frank Zappa's "Inca Roads" (in part 4/7)

parts 1, 2 & 3 of this playlist are dedicated to Frank Zappa
& also inspired by "Inca Roads",
I like to think that Frank would have appreciated the inherent
"evolver"/"resolver"-ish-ness of this "cyberdelic" orchestra :)

and here are excerpts from the very first
proof of concept/meeting (also the first time we ever played together)
with Yona Yacoub, Misja Fitzgerald Michel & Kevin Tardevet at Culture en Herbe
in an antique olive tree garden in Cimiez/Nice (in the south of France) on 7/7/2013.
I also make improbable video mash-ups sometimes, check them out :o
