Here's Antimon's amazing set
Thanks so much för rescuing this! Audacity crashed 10 minutes before the end, and I'm probably going to try to recover the raw recording from the massive heap of .aup files, but now I don't have to rush.
I performed out of a kind of script I had set up, consisting of these six parts:

Here's my output for the ring jam. I joined in for a bit at the first half. I sent out what came out of Blue Hell's port with some added worbling and ticking.
Now I hope Rob recorded too! _________________ Jan

Erm, not really.. stopped the recording because I had some problems, and what's there isn't worth it. _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum Bandcamp

We wound up using only the third movement (Sustain) on March 29, and then not directly, so these MIDI clips were all fresh meat for the solstice. I processed them in two ways: 1) software FX downstream from the synths as usual, and 2) MIDI FX between the clips and the synths. This was the first time for (2) for me. I used the MIDI effects mostly to A) alter timing, anywhere from grouping notes into block chords (the notes were all single notes in the MIDI scores) to dropping or repeating notes to change the tempo. I also did some pitch changing via MIDI.
I played and recorded much of that stuff a week or two before the gig. Think of a metamorphic layer of musique concrète and a sedimentary layer of musique liquide, I suppose. There were parameters left for performance time improvisation. I recorded segments only where I wanted to keep my hands on the banjo during performance.
The 4 movements are 00:00 Attack (using a shamisen soft synth -- I've always hated the sound of MIDI banjo synths, so I used one ), 09:08 Decay (glass piano), 19:16 Sustain (6 different soft synths playing in rounds) and 28:48 Release (nylon string guitar synth). ADSR ends around 43:00, after which comes a first draft of Penn's Woods, a new tune I wrote a few weeks ago using banjo double thumbing. Other than the the prelude to Ordinary Machinery in 2007, this is the first double thumbing piece I have written in about 30 years
If you have 8 minutes to kill, check out this experimental video of the Decay backing material from a couple weeks ago. Go full screen and then hit HD to restart the video. It may not work on a mobile device without loggin in; laptop seems OK. Only one channel of audio recorded, and I didn't catch that until after I posted, so you may want to mix down to mono. It was mostly mono anyway. These graphics comes from HexAtom, a game for the planetarium that generates MIDI music that a couple students and I wrote a few years ago. However, for the video I used ChucK to extract features from the Decay movement audio and used that to drive atom generation in the game. Since making the video I have experimented with playing a few notes manually to get graphical atoms, and then letting the graphical atoms generate music, which generates more atoms in a bi-modal, audio-visual feedback loop. It needs some work, but it is promising. I hope to work on that more this summer.
Dr. Steve rightly called Sustain as a melody I have played before. It is actually called 49th Winter, I wrote it in March 2003 right after cross-country skiiing in a dense snowstorm, and have played it on many instruments. I used to play it for my mom a lot, especially after she could no longer hold up a conversation, and played it at her funeral on a resonant, long-neck banjo after she died at age 95 in 2010. Meg Schedel (electric cello), Nicole Cresse (electric violin) and I (electronic banjo) also played a processed version of it at the March 29 planetarium gig. This is the first time I have used its MIDI tracks, which I captured in 2009.
I think of this layering of musical substrate + live banjo and electronics as dueting with myself across time.
Thanks, everyone, for hosting, monitoring, and playing. I love these events.
