History notes only a handful of artists who successfully pushed the limits - both with their music and with the design of their musical instruments. What Bach was to the keyboard and Hendrix was to the guitar, Moldover is to the controller. Disillusioned with "press play DJs," Moldover fans eagerly welcome electronic music's return to virtuosity, improvisation, and emotional authenticity. Dig deeper into Moldover's world and you'll uncover a subversive cultural icon who is jolting new life into physical media with "Playable Packaging," sparking beautiful collaborations with his custom "Jamboxes," and drawing wave after wave of followers with an open-source approach to sharing his methods and madness.
Lots of people love live music, and lots of people love technology. What if we could use one to enhance the other? In this talk, Moldover will share the inspiration and process behind his three bespoke performance instruments: The MC1 Microphone Controller, The Robocaster Guitar, and The Mojo Dub Mixing station. He'll demonstrate their unique abilities to augment traditional music performance concepts, and perform original music.
