Mira Martin-Gray - The First Time I Got an Endoscopy

This set from Mira Martin-Gray juxtaposed some spoken poems with musical pieces. The latter were laptop compositions — generative pieces in Ableton with the software "improvising" on musical stems within directed parameters so that no two performances would be precisely alike, a new direction in Martin-Gray's sonic explorations was first hinted at in last fall's Different Parts of the Same Dream album. Echoing the poems they accompanied, the sounds ranged from the clanging musique concrète of the charivari march to the post-anesthesia glides heard here and beyond.

You can check out some more from this set over on youtube:
