Evolving Vexations Bassline
This evolving bassline that’s arpeggiated on tritones was the apex of my interpretation of Erik Satie’s composition Vexations during Piotr Szyhalski piece Empty Words at Northern Spark early on the morning of Sunday, June 5, 2011. Eventually I will reproduce how I arranged these parts for the performance and share it here.

Arpeggiated Upper Vexations Melodic Interpretation
I am quite fond of how this short phrase from my interpretation of Vexations by Erik Satie turned out. I used Ableton to arpeggiate the upper melody on tritones while manually adjusting the patch on the Roland MKS-80 with the Bitstream 3X MIDI controller. This is what came out.

Battle of Everyouth Segment (34:00 to 39:16)
Here’s another segment from the DKO with DJ Luke Anderson performance on Saturday, June 4, 2011 on the steps of the Minneapolis Institute of Art accompanying the projected work in The Battle of Everyouth. This was a tremendous performance experience for me. Re-living it through the recordings has been enlightening as well. Video documentation is in the works.

Battle of Everyouth Segment (103:28 to 105:44)
Northern Spark is behind us and it was a wonderful event. I performed music for three non-stop, consecutive hours with DKO and DJ Luke Anderson on the steps of the MIA during the Battle of Everyouth while Jenny Schmid and Ali Momeni and their talented team of artists and volunteers transformed the museum into a new media artwork with interactive projections and participatory video capturing madness. Here’s a brief segment from the performance starting 103:28 in and finishing at 105:44.
