The ipod app to play the backing music.

10 years ago we started by using the original synths and 
sequencers - way too much work to set up for live, especially 
considering the amount of time they will give you for set-up and 
soundcheck. Moreover, it's extremely quirky with all the cables 
and MIDI en mixers, etc.
When we were invited to the USA for a couple of gigs, we decided 
this had to change. Plus there was just not enough space for so 
much gear...

So we did CD's. Later this changed to DVD's (audio backing + 
video backing - not a big succes; very quirky again), and later 
still, a Macbook with Ableton live (worked well).
And now the iPad2 - rock-solid. Best choice we ever made. Finally 
all the fun is back in playing on stage. When there's time for 
more practice, we will include the electronic flute and some 
percussion again.

I never heard that sound before, I swear! I guess Harry must have 
been playing a bit with his iPad 2 before the gig :-)

cheers,
