Awesome/crazy synth video

I've mentioned the apparently-dodgy Club of the Knobs before. But now they've posted some ace videos of an event they held in Lisbon last year, with an indian classical dancer triggering sounds from a huge modular synth. 'Destruction' is particularly good, but the best thing of all is the pony-tailed dude who wears white gloves before touching his synth. (Thanks Fmass)

Hey Alex, that video is awesome. Not sure about the venue (I guess Primark was booked) but really liked the music.

Alex, that video's amazing!
Have you got any more information on exactly what she was triggering and what you were playing, etc?

I should clarify on me "composed the tune as we went" - I mean I was arranging the tune from the loops.
