Optimism Remix

I'm putting together a new set to pitch for next summer: I'm exploring the theme of "empty spaces" through the medium of ambient and drone soundscapes. 

Each segment is made up of four parts: a field recording of an empty space, a granular synth pad, a synthesized drone, and some improvised guitar. The idea would be to combine several of these segments with some projected video (think photos and video of liminal spaces) to create a 30 minute set.

Let me know what you think. Does this sound interesting as an experimental set at say, Sound Symposium, MUTEK, etc.? Is there enough substance to the idea, and the demo?

DYODE is the collaborative techno project of Adam McLellan (Snug) and Dan Thomas. Their vision is to create live techno with an improvisational spirit: taking creative risks and discovering new ideas on the fly. 

Snug brings with him a wealth of techno experience and has shared the stage with techno pioneers such as DAVE The Drummer, Misstress Barbara, and Angel Alanis. Dan has a deep background with modular synthesis, hosts the Halifax Modular Meetup group, and regularly shares his creative output online as Northeast Passage.

The duo have been DJing and performing live electronic music individually since the late 90s, between them having played many of the major East Coast festivals including Future Forest and Evolve.
