PEQUE: THE ARMS MUSIC...VIRTUAL DRUMMER ARTICULO DE CHICAGO

PEQUE : THE ARMS MUSIC ..... VIRTUAL DRUMMER

"Leveraging the latest in music technology, Jazz pianist Jon Davis performed a ’remote’ piano performance at Hotel Sax Chicago from New York’s Carlton on Madison Avenue.

 

The simulcast performance was transmitted via the Internet to a signed limited edition Elton John Signature Series Red Piano (valued at $80,000) by Yamaha. The rare piano mimiced his every keystroke live on the fourth floor of the hotel. The piano was up for silent auction at the end of the night. A simulcast such as this has never been performed in the United States. This event was a sensory explosion! If you were ever looking for a "wow" factor, you got it at Hotel Sax.

 

Another entertainment highlight was Peque – a virtual drummer/DJ/VJ flown in from Madrid to perform an aural & visual sensation with his MIDI suit, which creates sounds, music and video merely by his various motions. The United States has never seen an entertainer of this nature until this event.

 

Proceeds from the event will benefit Gilda’s Club Chicago, a local organization offering free support to cancer patients and their families.

 

This is certainly competition to "The Donald"!
