LINEUP

Copy? Copy.
by Sandbox Xtet & Carla Guzman

Geometric patterns and folk melodies will evolve throughout the process of digital reproduction. Live sampled saxophone/drums/synth will accompany live coded abstract expressionist matrices. As time goes on the themes will become more and more manipulated by computer processes, and look less and less like the original ideas.

Carla Guzman – visuals/live coding
Thomas Davis – synth/live sampling
James Robotham – reeds
John Czolacz – percussion
