And yeah, I didn't expect anything else, it sounded exactly like Welcome to the Other Side and it was only half an hour and one person playing. It was pure for exposure and probably as a thank you for the Legion D'Honeur. At least the visuals were good.

Improvements for a One man show:
*looking into how graphical effects can easily be interwoven into the architecture
via software controlled digital lighting strips wound around pillars, placed around doors windows,
over brickwork covering much of the facade of the building.
This continues evolves Cities in Concert concept of projections onto buildings
in a much smaller scale for a One man show.

*Wearing a suit and gloves that enables graphical effects to be on the suit and gloves

* Fitting transparent perspex over keyboards then graphical digital lighting strips on the perspex.

This way you JmJ, the backdrop, the keyboards blend into One.

*Launching an Augmented Reality app.
So that audience get an AR expriecne of the One man show.

If it is a small audience, giving them cardboard AR headset to fit their phone into
when they arrive for concert.
If it is a large audience, providing instructions to make their own cardboard AR headset
when they buy tickets
and reminder week/s before concert for the audience.

I'm all for JmJ raving at the "close of day"

Dear JmJ just incorporating such a concept into your One man show JmJ
This way miming becomes" invisible".

JMJ suggested he'd do this sort of thing for Europe In Concert, if I recall.... interview with Music Technology magazine in 1993. "Just me, one keyboard and a mini-pops machine. A minimalist Oxygene" or words to that effect. Didn't happen though.

Oh yes. I'd also add 12DOTS to that list, even though it's already quite different from the other ones. And man, that Equinoxe 7 @ CPLT plain and simply rocks.
