Forrest Tobey's
Buchla Lightning
Performances

This site is still in development (August, 2009).

It will contain video of Forrest's work with the Buchla Lightning, a wonderful gestural control device for making music through gesture in empty space.

Check back soon for video of:

1. five elements embracing; pierced by; mind (1990s version)

This is Forrest's continually evolving piece for solo LIghtning, wherein the concept of the five elements, (earth, water, fire, air and space) are used as inspiration for a sound spectrum. He is currently working on a 2010 version, which will be vastly different. Here is the version from the late 90s.

2. innerlandscape

Composed by Washington D.C. composer Steve Antosca, this is an wonderfully creative composition for piano and Lightning. I just need to learn how to post the video and it will be here.

3. Works for Buchla Lightning and Ensemble.

Go to Forrest's Classical Music page to hear works for orchestra and conducted electronics.
