I think I missed some of this track, but I've been working with miking a
dancer/performer, and using STEIM's LiSa program, which is essentially a
realtime sampler, to break up and reprocess the realtime sampled sound from
the performer. I've done this in a couple of different pieces now - I
think with a degree of success. Working with a system that captures sound
from the same body that in turn controls it is an extremely powerful idea -
and one I hope to continue to work with.

I'm also working with using sampled text spoken by the performer, again
triggering the samples from her motion.
