Keytar Deathstar
[Texte disponible uniquement en anglais] Since 2007 I've been performing live visuals, using a wireless keytar as my primary controller. I'm really passianate about bringing a very physical component into the live performance of my animations and the keytar is the perfect instrument for allowing me to do this. As a secondary controller, I make use of a Guitar Rig Kontrol, which allows me to activate and manipulate effects with a series of foot switches and an expression pedal.

While I've performed with various bands over the years, there are 4 that have been most close to my heart. Keytar Deathstar, my proposed performance for LPM, will combine songs and visuals from all four bands into one showcase.

These for bands are:

Ce qui est necessaire

The most important thing is that I have a visual input with me on stage.

My ideal visual set up is a stage with full length screen behind the stage, allowing me to perform "inside" the visuals. I'm very flexible though and quite happy with any type of screens in any sort of configuration. In terms of inputs I will need a VGA or HDMI input from on stage.

Good sound system for audio playback with mini-jack/ jack or XLR input.

As my performances are very physical, the more space I have to move around on the better.
