The Virtual Cellist - world firsts

Hats off to Matthew Barley and the team for the staggering ‘Virtual Cellist’ at Kings Place last week. People tuned in to watch the live stream from all over the world - US, Africa, NZ, Bristol - and the plaudits have been flowing.

This performance had several firsts - the first time that motion capture was used in a live concert, the first live-streaming from Kings Place, the first live-streaming of a concert to Iphone, and world premieres of pieces by Nitin Sawhney and Duncan Bridgeman!

Selected clips will be up soon for you to enjoy. In the meantime Matthew’s website will keep you updated with his next moves and projects.
