A short report on a project just finished at Lillehammer, Norway.As a kind of aftermath of the Olympics in 1994, the town hosts a week of music in february each year, that includes outdoor concerts at some fabulous sites.

I was comissioned to write a piece for the Bjerke farm, which was the base of all the CBS reprots from Lillehammer in 1994. The project included Gamelan instruments, snow architecture and quadrophonic sound projections, played by 5 musicians on stage. The quadrophonic sound was played back from a Powerbook G3 (with MOTU Digital Performer) sitting onstage in minus 10 celsius and wind. And the Mac worked impeccably!
I let it work continuosly the day of the first performance, playing back some ambient sound while rigging, just to keep it warm. During the concert everything went very smooth and nice.Also on the second day. Good gear!
