Not really done by/with an Elektron, but caused I bought an Elektron in the first place.
Decided to :
- develop software using the Elektron philosophy.
- learn embedded programming
With years behind this experience, I think it was cool

Did a live performance with a dancer a couple of times as part of an open studios/gallery night presentation.
Used (almost) only non-musical found-sounds/field recordings. (Digitakt only.)
Was mega-fun to mangle (only 8-10 samples) live in interaction and sync with the dancer’s movements.
It was mostly freestyle for both of us. Albeit we had an internally set emotional theme/concept going while developing/rehearsing. (Which helped selecting the sounds to use.)
We had a rough progression prepared: Slow intro/build-up, total noise terror, some relaxation, back to mean glitchy drone/noise stuff and a soothing but abrupt finale.
Also her movements weren’t very “dancy” most of the time, more like body-expression stuff.
It was pretty intense (and loud), went on for about 20 minutes.
Also great feedback from the audience. Seemed to produce a wide variety of emotional resonance, which was the goal. 100% would do it again.
Great “fun”, very satisfying, but also very draining. I was in a pretty weird mental state directly afterwards.
(Probably because we thematically touched on some heavy personal/biographical and dark themes.)
Very very different experience from performing a prepared hardware (party) “live-set” based on programmed beats/tunes.
