Actually I appreciate some of the disconnect between visual and audio, it provides a nice tension. For video, Vimeo is beautiful but always ends up buffering every few seconds, and I'm on a pretty good connection. I've heard Google Video provides a medium between Vimeo and YouTube (even if the interface isn't as nice). Very nice indeed.

Just to be clear, my comment about realtime or not was not meant as a criticism, I have no issue with the question of "liveness" in this case. The work seems more concerned with the creation of a complex cinematic space rather than live improvisation. As performed at Cimatics, Op7 is a very impressive audiovisual performance, I could also imagine it working well as a multi-screen installation in a museum context. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future! Hi Orgone, thank you for clarifying the question of how the piece was actually performed.

There are also two audio performers, one playing the main audio tracks, the other working on glitches in the "gates" and "animelle". In this moment, clips are driven by MIDI signals coming from one of the audio performers (the software we use is Isadora); there are very few non-automatic changes. When we performed op7 for the first time there was 9 persons on stage (it was in may 2006 at Mixedmedia http://www.mixedmedia.it/eng/index.html ; the curator Marco Mancuso from Digicult asked us for a site-specific work): 3 laptops (right screen, left screen, central screen) MIDI driven; 1 laptop for 2 more lateral projections (the place was big... there were 5 4x6 screens); 3 laptops working on audio + 1 performer on hardware audio instrument; 1 circuit bending visual instrument; another performer on a video matrix. It was too much. Our goal for this performance was not liveness, but to obtain an immersive audiovisual-scape; we were mainly interested in picking up the audience and let them brains exploding. So we started to reduce the number of performer and to organize an easier set-up (it's impossible to move around Europe 9 performers at the same time; no festival will pay for them). Now we've found the way to render 3ds live and direct on multiple screens with Isadora in a good way (hardware and software are cheaper and faster). So part of our next works will be live 3d.
