Midi-Ax / soft instruments
1 * Hart House Hipster (Rob Clutton String Bass)
Clutton/Martynec 5:59
*These musical pieces use the sounds of the instrumentalist
in a duet with themselves. The previously recorded sounds
are mapped to a soft sampler, orchestrated and then
performed live using Midi-ax, Emile Tobenfeld’s
software that uses the computer mouse buttons and the cursor
as an interactive real-time instrument. Originally written
for the Atari computer, it runs in Steem, an Atari emulator
for the PC.
