One more video below.

"Oriental flavored jam I did today in Studio A, Beirut while testing my live rig. I revolves around a line I programmed on the Volca Sample to test the song mode. Biggest challenge was setting up all the cameras (android phone, ipad, kodak Zi8, GoPro Hero 2) and rigging them around the set. Second biggest challenge was getting my fat fingers to play nicely with the mini (micro) keys.

"This is an improvised jam I did in my studio last night. I decided to be a bit adventurous and hooked additional instruments to my setup…. just for fun. Have to admit it didn’t turn out exactly like I had in mind.
They are all very powerful beasts, and I spent most of my time trying to tame them into something that makes musical sense.
Each jam is an adventure, full of uncertainty and risks. It's like a fight between man and machine, where you don't know for sure how they will react to your commands. Yet at times, there is harmony, and everything you're doing makes sense, and you start performing, instead of struggling... Even though these moments are rare, they are so fulfilling and rewarding that you don't want them to end...

Peace!
