    What a cool piece and well performed. I am supporting a performance of this piece at the University of Michigan and I was wondering how this performance was mic-ed. Can you provide me with that information or direct me toward someone who can? Thanks

      Contact Mic on the chess board + overhead for the parts where we use our hands to drum on the table. Cheers!

    This is amazing! How did you get the clock ticking to do that in the beginning?

      This is a vintage clock that has gotten a lot of usage over the years… it sometimes does funky stuff… the sixteenth notes are not always straight… but we loved this clock so much.

    Very good! But as a chess player it hurts my eyes to see the players pushing the clock button with the wrong hand. Of course this performance couldn't be done according to the rules.
