MOVING SOUNDS FESTIVAL | ABLETON LIVE LIVE
There is a discrepancy between computer music and the idea of “real” music. This space may be filled with a critique on improvisation, technique, or training. We would like to experiment with bringing spontaneity and the traditional idea of “jamming” into the digital realm, utilizing Midi controllers to reconsider the computer as an instrument in its own right. We will have all 6 of our computers opened and programmed in Live with midi controllers so multiple people can play and experiment in life at the same time, creating an interactive space for getting to know Live better or showing others what you already know.
KEY INFORMATION
– Feel free to bring your own computer or a USB with your Live sets, and/or your favorite Midi Controller.
– All ages welcome.
– Free
