New piece. Mostly in Pd.

Synopsis;

"Axon" is a collaborative project that began life as a series of recorded guitar improvisations. These initial recordings provide the main source materials used in the fixed media element of the piece. Throughout the creative process the guitar and tape have been involved in a continual loop of mutual influence. Due to this working method we discovered that the line between the the composer and the performer became continually blurred and resulted in what we believe to be a truly collaborative piece that follows a combined creative vision. "Axon" was written by Michael Andrews and Ricky Graham.

Thanks for sharing the video, Ricky. It's always refreshing to hear music like this and realize it's not just a guy staring at his laptop.

Thanks .mmb. T'is a larger point of my current research. With that said, there were some excellent performances from other Artists that night. The convention was excellent on the whole. Looking forward to the next one Hope to see you there.

Hi Ricky,

I'm assuming you need a 6-channel midi pickup. Is that what your guitar is equiped with?

(I watched the video this morning. Nice work!)

hey! yes, indeed - all the info is up on my website. my performance system will be available sometime this month. my thesis will follow sometime in late april.
