Evan Parker has written and drawn to our attention a project with a fabulous line-up based on live, internet-based interaction between a group at The Hot Tin in Faversham in Kent and a group at Roulette in Brooklyn . It has the title TransAtlantic Trance Map.
Quoting the official blurb: Two all-star ensembles meet for a live real-time ‘audio in-sync’ trans-Atlantic performance at Roulette, Brooklyn NYC (3pm EST start time) and at The Hot Tin in the UK (8pm GMT start time), with screens in each venue showing the simultaneous live action in the other space.
Evan explains: “The link between the two venues will use a piece of software called Sonobus which severely reduces and sometimes eliminates latency and makes real time interaction possible. There will also be screens in each venue for visual links between the two venues but that will be subject to the usual time lag. We did a less ambitious version with part of the band in Hamburg and students from the Musikhochschule about a year ago…and everything worked.”
