The days before the concert were spent doing extensive testing, to enable remote control of the organ as well as real time transmission of sound between the two venues.

Robert works with Music in Motion (MiM). Replacing the clarinet bell with MiM v1.0 turns his clarinet into an electronically extended music instrument.
