Me/Machine - real-time improvisational interaction between a computer and a musician

Jojo Mayer is an internationally renowned drummer and leader of the electronica trio Nerve. Swiss born Jojo Mayer started playing drums at an early age and had his first public performance at 2 sitting in with his dad’s band. At age 18 he received his first international exposure when touring with Monty Alexander and backing up Jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie and Nina Simone. In the early 90’s he moved from Europe to NYC where he worked as a first call sideman for a wide range of artists and styles. As a leader he created his seminal work with NERVE which established him as one of the great performers and innovators on the instrument. His concepts and techniques of reverse engineering electronic drumbeats in real time on a acoustic drum set introduced a new paradigm and opened the door for an entire generation of musicians to follow. In 2014 Modern Drummer Magazines listed him as one of the 50 Greatest Drummers of All Time.
