very long cat is a new network music ensemble combining the talents of Shawn Mativetsky on tabla and the live coding of Dr. David Ogborn, rehearsing and performing via the Internet and employing an eclectic range of techniques and technologies drawn from the NIME and neighbouring universes. The ensemble exploits the gestural ambivalence of live coding (intentions and results are not, as a rule, synchronized) to overcome the fundamental problem of latency in network music. Ogborn is a creator, performer, and producer who combines the traditional performing arts with electronic media whether these be laptop orchestra improvisations, video projections influenced by live musical gestures, massive synthesized sounds on immersive loudspeaker arrays, or spatial installations and sculptures built from sensors, microcontrollers, and motors. Exponent of the Benares gharana and disciple of the legendary Pandit Sharda Sahai, Mativetsky is a highly sought-after tabla performer and educator.
