I oversaw the development of the live show from a single laptop on stage running ableton 8, to a fully redundant system running much more efficiently on the then-new 64 bit build of Ableton Live version 9. I upgraded and redesigned a redundant playback system that handled tracks, wild amounts of control over to video server and a DMX-controlled set piece, midi program changes to instruments, and hosted soft synths.
