In live collaborative performance OVNI  use a structured 
improvisational approach. Basically we have banks of different audio 
and video   "raw materials" . In performance we will loosely 
determine a kind of flow, but rarely do we adhere to it strictly. So 
during the course of a show, we will communicate (sometimes verbally 
sometimes not) and move the  sound in one direction or another, 
incorporating more rhythmic elements or  introducing a melodic line 
or what have you. The results of this are unexpected and make the 
performances each unique and fun. Each artist plays off of the other 
both visually and musically, in what is somewhat similar to what a 
traditional improvisational trio might  do.
