“Reminded me of Tangerine Dream ..and CAN!”

‘Very happy I heard Julian play ..he is a Rock! Situation came alive!
..the music he performed stands alone by itself, but also it was so beautiful to see Sarah’s objects around, it felt like being in your own space, …and we were intruders.’

The enhanced karplus-strong algorithm was recognised by at least two mutants, though many were in altered states / tripping.  Sustained maths, instruments swirling around four speakers, Video 1 minute by Bruno Brunnet, Contemporary Fine Arts / CFA, Berlin.
