Dear LOSS Livecode Festival,
I will propose some transformations of my voice in a background of
controlled larsen
I will need a mixer like yamaha 01v96, and 4 loudspeakers around the
public
I'm afraid I can't take part in a pre-event in London because of some
exams in my conservatoire
All the best!
Nicola Buso

> ---> COMMISSIONS <---
>
> If you would like time or resources to develop a new way of
> performing, some new language or software feature, or something else

> ---> BURSARY <---
>
> A small bursary is available to contribute towards travel and
> accommodation. Please include an estimated budget for your attendance
