The 2nd clip from our annual Musician's Concert:

OK peeps, here's the second clip from the March 18th Conservatory of Dance 2010 Musician's Concert. When choosing what to perform in this show, I wanted to do something with my old friend and drumming phenom Dave Lewitt. This guy seriously rocks... I chose a composition of mine and reinvented it. 

"17 Seconds/Infinity" was originally composed by me in 1979. What I did here was to remove the "middle" section (which I'll be performing in it's entirety with the Mahavishnu Trio Project in a few weeks, hopefully captured on Video), and replaced it with a carefully orchestrated jam using Ableton LIVE. The bass lines and marimba loop were done in real time doing the performance; Dave played to a click (audible in the beginning). At 6:48 I simply stopped the software and we played duet before restating the melody one final time.

Ah yes - fun AND games. :)
