John Gunther’s 3 day technology fest was a huge success. We participated in collaborations of every variety and pushed the limits of the Black Box Space. Day 1 was a performance with Michael Theodore and Glen Whitehead's band
Psychoangelo followed by Gunther’s
Safari Trio. Day 2 was a collaboration between blOrk and members of the Safari Trio. I also performed a piece
Tuning Up which is about warming up a laptop orchestra. Finally Day 3 was a live dance, visual, and musical collaboration between
NYU and
KAIST university in Korea over
Internet2 entitled "Memory and the Internet." Doing this all in one weekend was a technical challenge to say the least.
My level of participation in these performances was different each day. During Psychoangelo and the Safari Trio, I was the mixing engineer. This was fairly complex. In addition to the
members of the trio (Brad Shepik - Guitar, John Hadfield - Drums) we had a number of experimental instruments being used as well. This included cymbals played with bows and electrical motors acting as percussion. Luke DuBois provided some excellent projections in Jitter for the show.

The live collaboration was the one of the most technically challenging things I’ve ever been involved with. Our goal was to connect both video and audio between the three universities with as little latency as possible.
Synthia Payne was the crazy mind behind this extremely rewarding project. It took many trials and lots of headaches, but we were able to accomplish a full show with no major issues.
JackTrip was used for audio, and we used a number of video and chat technologies to accomplish the final product. (We did this again, with much more success in December of 2010)
