the setup consists of two computers with keyboards in front of two
retro hewlett packard monochrome displays. one of those terminals
controls the drums, the other one the bass. d&b basically. both
have a beta version of the brk_b.t software
running, one with breakbeat drumloops, one with darkstep bassloops
(no u-turn/optical style). synchronized to the sound there is a realtime
videoprojection that is envisioning diverse parameters from the sound
source. technically spoken there is the brk_b.t software sending midi
signals to a pc running a custom app using a 3d accelerated graphicscard.
the "sample it" party was the final event of a sampling
workshop that took place at the kunstencentrum and was organized by
gerd keunen.
one of the two terminals in front of the projection
on the synched projection in the back you can see that the drumloop is currenly at slice number six.

the radar style shape revolves once per drumcycle
