Bitpanic, is a networked computer music ensemble located in Los Angeles comprised of composers Casey Anderson, Scott Cazan, David Paha, Stephanie Smith and myself. Each of us studied at CalArts with Mark Trayle who was one of the founding members of The Hub and was a big influence on each of our own musical pathways. With Mark's sudden passing this past Spring, we were asked to organize a concert for the DogStar Orchestra concert series featuring Mark's music. We performed two pieces on the concert. The first piece, Pins and Splits was a networked-based composition that Mark wrote and the second was a free improvisation that we performed in Mark's honor. Check out the live recording below:
