As part of this event, I prepared a small experimental set using my favorite modular synthesizers and TouchDesigner. The basis of the performance was a complex feedback loop, slightly more controlled than in my usual experiments, but still very unstable and dangerous. It was a serious challenge for me to perform this live. Unfortunately, there is no quality recording, but I collected some fragments to convey the atmosphere in the hall.
