On february 23rd 2014, this was one of Jonny's new compositions he debuted with the London Contemporary Orchestra soloists at The Wapping Project, London.
For this piece, the audience was asked to access a website on their smart-phones. The app gave each individual 7x7 (49) opportunities to add to the piece by triggering short electronic sounds, specifically triangle waves of different pitches with delays of different speeds and feedback amounts.
This 5-minute-long piece had its premier on the 23rd of February 2014, at the Wapping Hydraulic Power Station, London. It was written for an electric guitar and a string ensemble of 7 players. During its performance, the audience is encouraged to participate by using a special web-app.
