| Another Day – This composition was a collaboration with my long time friend and colleague at Columbia University, R. Luke DuBois. Written for a performance at the Listening in the Sound Kitchen Festival at Princeton University on November 17th, 2001, this is a work for improvised mandolin and live interactive video. This piece which is based on the idea that Luke and I are basically writing, performing, or designing performance interfaces everyday – and that this performance was just “Another Day” focusing on the activities that define our working lives. This interactive composition was the first to use the performance interface that I had been building in MAX/MSP and the video processing was controlled via a performance interface that Luke had created in a beta version of the Jitter. The video that Luke manipulated during the performance was a series of sunsets and sunrises that I had created in Bryce 3D. A work that is both improvised and interactive means that each performance while related, is unique. I often play this work in my solo mandolin performances, most recently in Minneapolis/St.Paul at the University of Minnesota’s Spark Festival on February 21st, 2004. Here are three different versions. 1 and 2 both date from the Princeton University show. I believe that 1 is the rehearsal and 2 is the actual performance. The recording came directly from my computer to a protable DAT, so my acoustic mandolin sound is not present and there is no crowd noise on these first two recordings which were made on November 17th, 2001. Version 3 comes from a feb. 21st, 2004 performance at the University of Minnesota.
