Aphex Twin's remote orchestra (short edit)

Richard James came up with the idea of controlling a 48 piece string section and a 24 strong choir by remote control, using midi controllers, lots of headphones and some remote visual cues, after being commissioned to write some pieces for the European culture congress in Poland. There was only one opportunity for a rehearsal to see if the idea worked, it was in the morning, the day of the concert! This is the result. see full version of the performance here http://vimeo.com/30040716 see the other Aphex Twin edits for this show here = http://vimeo.com/album/1735255 see all other performances from the show here http://www.youtube.com/user/fixedmachine#grid/user/CFB3F7A0029A764C visual interface design by weirdcore
