About

“Realtime” bridges the gap in composition between old and new folk music instrumentation. It represents passion and epiphany that flow from the tension of two colliding worlds—American folk music and its symbiosis with synthesis, the new frontier in global folk music.

"Realtime" was created as the live soundtrack component of an experimental performance art piece by &yet, RealtimeConf, which converged a software conference with a fourth-wall-breaking theatric experience that concluded a socio-political suspense novel and graphic novel released in serial form.

All selections BMI.
