I subscribed to Sabine Hossenfelder a while ago. She has a quirky sense of humour.

Check the STEIM (Amsterdam) archive. They released it online for free this year! A true treasure trove.

This reminded me of Laurie Anderson’s drum dance in “Home of the Brave”, in which she, as early as 1985, wore a drum suit that turned her body into a percussive instrument.

Yeah, “Home of the Brave” is a remarkable liveshow. My favorite is “Gravity’s Angel”, featuring also a young Adrian Belew, who at that time is on a roll with King Crimson mk2:

Ok, we’ve gotta have another one from this show. This is “Excellent Birds” which was co-written with Peter Gabriel, who sang on the studio version:

Great song! Actually first released on the Laurie Anderson album ‘Mister Heartbreak’ in 1984, then re-worked and released again on the CD- and Cassette versions of Peter Gabriel’s album ‘So’ in 1986. Productive times .

It’s great when you get a chance to compare. I think the Mister Heartbreak version is better. Same video, slightly different instrumentation. Laurie Anderson was on a roll back then:

But the Home of the Brave version is the best. Sorry Peter

Also - check out Musikraken- an ios app that tracks hand/arm movement, facial gestures, you name it. It really works pretty much out of the box. https://www.musikraken.com/. Have used it as a modulation source. Have had less success triggering specific notes/melodies (but for that I blame my inability to “dance” - not the software :))

Haven’t used it yet, but the ROLI Airwave seems to go down a similar road.

Yeah, it’s a fantastic interview. For anyone in love with music you can’t help smile a lot.

Never seen one of these before, nice.

Love the sequencer board.
