[microsound] (ot) 3.30 Darmstadt "Classics of the Avant Garde" - w. Luke Dubois and Dafna Naftali

[zach layton <zachlayton@xxxxxxxxx>]

March 30th at 10pm, Darmstadt "Classics of the Avant Garde" returns
to Galapagos featuring a rare and fantastic collaboration between live
laptop virtuosos Luke Dubois (http://music.columbia.edu/~luke/) and Dafna
Naftali(http://dafna.info/).  There is a rumor that they might build a max
patch in real time from scratch.  It will be an extremely exciting
performance...max users and laptop afficionados should not miss it.

And, providing prelude, interlude and postlude material for this
performance, I will be joined on the turntables playing late romantic and
20th century avant-garde hits with Nick Hallett (plantains/maison du chic)
and Brock Monroe (Mighty Robot AV Squad)...

Max/MSP at Harvestworks since 1996, and was a programmer for two years for
