Parenthetical remarks refer to the graphics displayed on the large projection screen
between the performers. Cams refer to the miniature video cameras mounted on the performers hands.

Lemma 1 - Part 1

1. [0:00] BEGIN WITH A BANG
    VT gets nod from Rand, then starts to play assertively
    MD immediately enters similarly

2. [:30] VT SIGNALS COMPUTER CHORD (road map fills screen)
    MD stops, VT solo

3. [:45] TRADING FOURS - MD interrupts (10")
    VT interrupts (8")
    MD interrupts (6")
    VT interrupts (4")
    MD interrupts (2")
    [1:15] back and forth quickly several more times until both are playing continuously
    create a sense of trajectory towards a climax at 1:30

4. [1:30] MD SIGNALS COMPUTER CHORD (last zoom of map then black)
    MD SOLO, VT stops
    [1:45] trombone camera fades in
    [2:15] (camera PiP pulls back – CG appears as frame)

5. [2:30] VT ENTERS with sparse single shots (each changes CG frame)
    [2:45] VT shots become more frequent, grow to short gestures

6. [3:00] VT more assertive – MD/VT evolve into duet
    [3:30] MD begins to recede – trombone cam window shrinking

7. [3:45] MD SILENT (trombone cam window disappears)
    VT solo

8. [4:00] MD ENTERS again with long notes (Cube appears)
    MD controls cube
    [4:30] MD begins to fade (back ground behind cube begins to fade out)
    VT transition into quieter, gentler playing

9. [4:45] MD SILENT (cube disappears - video tape of nature material begins)
    MD continues to perform with camera
    VT plays quietly – scrapes and rubs
    [5:00] (trombone cam cross fading with video tape)

10. [5:15] VT SILENT (trombone cam only)
     MD chaotic camera solo in silence, relaxing as (cam fades out)
 

Lemma 1 - Part 2

1. [5:30] VT gets nod from Rand, ENTERS WITH SINGLE NOTE (triggering words)
    MD follows with single note
    begin to slowly play more frequently but still very sparse

2. [6:00] PLAYING INCREASES (words animate more frequently)

3. [7:00] MUSIC EVOLVES as determined by performers (loops begin to appear behind words)

4. [8:00] VT PLAYS "MECHANICAL" LOOPS (loops begin to stick in place)
    MD joins with repetitive material (loops fill screen)

5. [9:00] MD and VT FADE gradually as (loops begin to fade from screen)

6. [9:30] MD SILENT (screen is black)
               VT SOLO
    [9:45] (stick cam fades in)
    [10:00] (camera in fully)
    [10:15] MD positions his camera towards VT

7. [10:30] MD enters with long notes (video cross dissolves between cams)
    [11:30] MD plays more actively, keep camera on VT, but bouncing around

8. [12:00] MD plays assertively to finish off section
    MD camera toward screen for feedback (video switches fast with extreme wipes)
    VT recedes to silence then prepares for Part 3
 

Lemma 1 – Part 3

1. [12:30] VT ENTERS with body percussion (cam switches to video feedback chair)
    MD plays one last assertive gesture, then stops
    [12:45] computer bass begins - VT becomes more periodic

2. [13:00] MD ENTERS with solo over VT accompaniment (video room replaced by texture room)

3. [14:00] BASS STOPS - VT breaks into free playing duo with MD (exploding animation)
    create a sense of trajectory towards:

4. [15:00] MD Triggers Computer Chord and big unison gesture (extreme flashes)
    [15:10] SILENCE (black)
    [15:15] MD Triggers Computer Chord and big unison gesture (extreme flashes)
    [15:20] SILENCE (black)
    [15:25] MD Triggers Computer Chord and big unison gesture (extreme flashes)
    [15:30] echoes of last unison gesture, receding to nothing (smaller verts, shrinking to nothing)

5. [15:45] MD,VT quiet final section (flat vert appears at bottom of screen, moon video fades in)
    continue as appropriate
    [16:00] (moon video in fully, vert "peels" away)
    [16:30] MD, VT fade out to silence (as video fades to black)
    MSP fades out all audio on mixer
