DATA :: The Second Coming

Who and what is Data :: The Second Coming?

Data is a copenhagen based collaboration of 5 musicians, 1 VJ and 2 computer programmers who is trying to expand the limits of a human / technological interface in a live concert. We are building our own controllers, creating our own computer software and exploring new possibilites of playing music. We are not using any prerecorded material and all sounds / video pieces are triggered live.

The original "Data the Band" consisted of Mads Andersen, Jeppe Tuxen and Rune Kaagaard and can be explored at: http://www.myspace.com/datathegreatband

"Data :: The Second Coming" is bigger and better and is:

Jeppe Tuxen: Keys, Electronics (http://www.ibrahimelectric.com/)
Mads Andersen: Elec. drums, Amiga (http://www.mariekeyband.dk/)
Rune Kaagaard: Keys, Joysticks (http://secretpet.com/, http://www.luciebaines.com/)
