A few weeks ago I entered a music contest over att Reddit/r/Music. The rules were: a theme based on Egypt, 2:30 to 3:30 length and a one week deadline. The contest had 58 participants of which I managed to finish in 3rd place! Good times.

”Godtrogen är gud trogen är godtrogen”
This spring I was involved in a project called ”Futurum” which basically is a platform where classical musicians play new music. The idea is to make musicians interested in playing modern compositions and get composers a chance to have their pieces performed by gifted musicians.
The original idea was that the piece was going to rely on live looping. Apart from this, there would be a lot of ”on the fly” effects processing and heavy programming. With the use of colored LED lights I managed to get a motion tracking tool working....
