Live sequencer

Performance

Idea

A live feed of the instruments. Viewers request an instrument and sequence its rhythm from wherever they are watching.

  • A live video feed of the instruments.
  • A viewer requests an instrument and sequences its rhythm remotely, step by step.

Notes

  • It fits the rule that units only listen: a viewer’s pattern goes to the controller, which broadcasts it like any other part. Nothing on stage talks back.
  • Video delay matters. A normal stream runs many seconds behind, so a viewer would hear their pattern long after setting it. A sub-second stream keeps it feeling live.
