description

Visual and acoustical performance, performed as a jazz improvisation (length may vary, 1 or 2 hours) in which every instruments is influencing the others including the live video which "draws" the rythmical and melodical path during the execution. Performers are sitting in cirle, looking to the center in which are positioned 3 video monitors showing them what's being projected on the public frontscreens.

Like the stick for an orchestra director, the live rendered video elaborates realtime the movements of the video performer drawing waves and geometries on the screen: as the musicians follow the video so the video performer follows the improvisation, expanding the domain of jazz over the musical instruments to the eyes of the public.

The only software employed in the performance is [http://freej.dyne.org FreeJ], a Free Software developed by dyne.org laboratories and freely available, while sound electronics are performed by abusing of "technomutated hardware".
