"This is a live and uncut homestudio improvisation / test-drive starring: toy robot, kalimba, illuminated orbs, Ableton Push, iPad loaded with Soundscaper and Dedalus, Waldorf Rocket, Korg Volca Keys, Volca Bass, Arturia Microbrute.

Tech facts:

- illuminated orbs with enclosed wiimotes, which are sending varius motion data (acceleration, pitch, roll etc.)

- this data is converted to midi data which is controlling the various analog synths (e.g. acceleration is triggering notes and pitch is controlling the filter cutoff)

- iPad loaded with the apps Soundscaper an Dedalus

- Ableton Push for piano
