A clip of me playing Pixel Rash at the Dublin Castle EMOM in London, Nov 2024. The two black wand things I am waving around are @flowfal devices that are triggering two breakbeats - one for each hand - so all the beats you can hear are being triggered live by my movements.

I’m playing this on Friday 25th. I’ll be on at about 7pm. I’ll be bringing my digital wands so that the audience can control bits of my tracks. facebook.com/events/34501869… #emom #sheffield #electronicmusic #immersive #abletonlive #flowfal #dubtechno #techno #interactive

Making some @flowfal enabled wands for the Cyclic Sounds gig on 1st Dec - these contain the innards of some old smartwatches - the idea is they are easy for the audience to pass around when controlling bits of my tracks live. #experimentalmusic #dub #flowfal #movement #gig

Another work in progress for @bd_snd_artists Cyclic Sounds gig on 1st Dec. The smartwatch movements are controlling the notes being fed into one of the tracks (using @flowfal tech). For the Dec 1st gig 3 audience members at a time will get to control tracks with their movements.

Work in progress for @bd_snd_artists Cyclic Sounds gig on 1st Dec - here a smartwatch is controlling the volume of one of the drum tracks using @flowfal - this is the kind of control the audience will get over elements of each track at the gig.
