Be the Music: Live Interactive Electronics
|
Here is the handout and Keynote PDF from my session at PASIC 2017, titled "Be the Music: Live Interactive Electronics." During the clinic, I take the audience through the basics of some of the tools of live interactive music making, including using Wiimotes, Leap Motion controllers, Hot Hands controllers, LittleBits, and MIDI pedals. Throughout the session the audience is pulled in to the performance and are active participants, which helps them to not only understand the material better, but be connected in a deeper way. The program closes with one of my own compositions for percussion ensemble and electronics, Percussive Metamorphosis, in which each member of the ensemble not only plays their acoustic percussion instrument, but also performs on an electronic controller. Send me an email via the contact page if you are interested in obtaining a copy.

Live Looping Redefined
Brady Harrison's "Live Looping Redefined" PASIC Handout (WORD Doc)
Brady Harrison's Live Looping Redefined Keynote presentation via PDF
|
Here is the handout and Keynote PDF from my clinic/performance at PASIC 2014, titled "Live Looping Redefined." During the clinic, I perform an entire program of percussion masterworks that all feature the challenge of recording and playing back material live, blending attributes of classical concert performer, recording engineer, and DJ. Throughout the session I not only play a wide variety of literature, but discuss some of the evolution of the tools and techniques that we use to do this. There are no notes with the Keynote, but hopefully the handout might be helpful for many of you that contacted me with questions. I simply ask any of you that use it to credit me in its use. For any of you who are interested, I am always available to present lessons, concerts, clinics, and masterclasses either in person or via Skype- just contact me if you are interested! Enjoy!

My "10 Lo tech Tips"
|
Here are ten tips to help you put together the best interdisciplinary electroacoustic performances that you can create. This might include a realization of any piece of electroacoustic music that you are performing when combined with any other artform- be it video, dance, light, visual art, spoken word, interactive installations, performance art, hybrid performance, or any other artistic discipline. Nothing here is rocket science- but it sure is helpful to keep things in perspective. Click on the photo to the right for a printable PDF with the tips! For a few specific examples of some of this work, check out my solo percussion videos in the drop down window under "media." The world is your oyster when you are free to create!

Performance practice: John Cage's "Living Room Music"
|
|
This is a short video that was created for the New York Public Library's John Cage Unbound: A Living Archive that I was interviewed for. In it, I discuss some of the performance practice issues that are inherent in John Cage's classic percussion quartet "Living Room Music." Hopefully, this might help some of you in your approach to this and other works by Cage.
