	Coral Furtivo Recording of the final rehearsal for "Coral Furtivo", a show with Ricardo Jacinto and Yaw Tembe at Teatro do Bairro Alto (TBA), Lisbon. The trio formed in 2019, when TBA invited us to open their concert series. Yaw plays extended trompet, and Ricardo plays extended cello. I play the zither and the AG#3 software, which processes audio samples - including sounds from the cello and the trompet - based on pitch analysis from the zither sound. Additionally, i use the light percussion instrument, which includes an audio-generator connected to a light sensor attached to a stroboscope. COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION
