Ableton Live+Novation Launchpad+ZeRO SL MkII= "Rolling with Strings" Nigel Sifantus live mix from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.
"The newest live performance from "Progtronica" featuring Ableton Live 8, the Novation Launchpad, and my new Novation ZeRO SL Mk II controller. This tune was all mixed together live and has a "broken-beat" vibe with orchestral and operatic samples used totally out of context. Visit
nigelsifantus.com for more information. New "Progtronica" album "Live from Nowhere" is due out in mid 2010 and will feature this many many other live mixed progressive electronic solo productions."

Novation Launchpad+Ableton Live+Akai Mpd 24="Progtronica" by Nigel Sifantus from Nigel Sifantus on Vimeo.
"Live outdoors under the sunset of Long beach California comes Progtronica (the live outdoor extended edition) by Nigel Sifantus. This is a live improvisation using Ableton Live 8 of material from the forthcoming Progtronica-Live from Nowhere EP due to be released early 2010. See
nigelsifantus.com for more details about Progtronica. All music and sounds created by me, drums played live using Roland V-Drums, sampled re-cut and launched using Novations Launchpad, and controlled by an Akai MPD 24 as well as the Launchpad and Mac. There are bits of sound taken from Brad Mehldau, Trilok Gurtu, and the Cinematic Orchestra but I challenge you to identify the sources."
