At Art Hospital in Bloomington, Indiana on December 15, 2007, audio artists/composers Silvia Matheus and John Dawson created a live improvisational dialog using Kyma, MAX/MSP running on a laptop and several controllers. As Matheus describes it, "The thrill of the performance is to keep the momentum going—the various sound textures have to transform continuously." Matheus and Dawson created sound textures with variable loops, pitch and time variation, live processing, and live panning/mixing. Some of Silvia's sounds were also sent to John Dawson's environment for further processing before being sent to multiple speakers.
