Lines and Circles - solo eurorack synthesis performance

Lines and Circles is an improvisational live performance project using a custom-built modular synthesis system. With numerous hands-on controls and many physical patch points, this system requires constant attention and multiple, ongoing direct engagements. Concentration, careful listening, muscle memory and musical / sonic problem solving are all requirements for designing and performing on such a system. The sonic outcome can range from subtle modulations to noisy disruptions, and everything in between. Each performance uses a unique combination and interconnection of modules, so the instrument / system is always evolving. For both performer and audience, this is an opportunity to share in the ongoing discovery of what might happen next.
