Technical Rider for Talk or Lecture/Demo
Pamela Z’s technical needs for talks, lecture/demos, and colloquia vary, depending on whether or not they involve any live performance or demonstration. She can give a talk with supporting, pre-recorded work samples including audio and video documentation of various works. Or she can give a lecture/demo that also includes a live component demonstrating some of the instruments and technology she uses in performance.
Time:
For a basic talk or lecture:
15-20 minutes for load-in, set-up, and tech check
For a lecture/demonstraton:
30-45 minutes for load-in, set-up, and tech check
Equipment:
Pamela provides her own:
For a basic talk:
- 1 Apple computer (Mac Book Pro) with Isadora software.
- video adapter for USB-C to HDMI
For a lecture/demo, the above plus:
- a microphone and a MOTU Ultralite firewire audio interface.
- a second Apple computer (Mac Book Pro) w/ MAX MSP software.
- various gesture activated MIDI controller(s)

The venue or presenter must provide:
For a basic talk or lecture:

- a projector and projection surface, or a flat display large enough to be visible to the audience, according to the room size.
- a sound system capable of stereo playback.
