| 2 | | It's a reasonable size venue, and can hold 180 people. The format of |
|---|
| 3 | | the night was basically a series of short (20 minute) sessions |
|---|
| 4 | | given by the Linux audioconf participants, and others |
|---|
| 5 | | doing cool sound stuff with Linux. Later on |
|---|
| 6 | | in the night there was some more "improvised" jamming. It |
|---|
| 7 | | provided for some interesting conversation/entertainment. |
|---|
| | 2 | The standout tonight was a duo called |
|---|
| | 3 | <a href="http://www.deprogram.net/">Deprogram</a>. |
|---|
| | 4 | who performed some great electronica with live keys and vocals over |
|---|
| | 5 | prerecorded tracks. The backing tracks had been recorded on and were |
|---|
| | 6 | being played back using Ardour running on a Linux laptop. |

| | 9 | The performance was simply stunning. The fact that Ardour, Jack |
|---|
| | 10 | and other linux software was used in its production and performance |
|---|
| | 11 | is a *huge* validation of what we have been doing all these years. |

| | 14 | Congratulations to everyone involved in making audio on Linux happen |
|---|
| | 15 | and thanks to Nick and Mary of Deprogram for showing us how its |
|---|
| | 16 | good this stuff actually is. |
