Re: OT: new macbook rant: spanish ballet



oh i know i can find anything online...its that i'm on my way to  
spain and needed to buy everything now.
i made the dumb assumption that the apple store would sell cables for  
their computers. doh!
but i'll find a cable or adaptor in spain hopefully.

anyway, i'm hoping live looping on the new macbook pro is zippier. my  
sooped-up first generation MBP would start crackling if it got hot  
and no matter how many tracks, i could never run any effects onstage.

the music for the ballet is the most CPU intensive looping i've ever  
done. so hopefully that extra oomph will help.

if anyone is in Spain...here are the details...!

The Ballet de Teatres de la Generalitat presents the premier of the  
ballet "Llebeig".
A new ballet choreographed by Asun Noales with live music composed  
and performed by Zoe Keating
Nov 20 to Nov 28
Teatro Principal
Valencia, Spain

best, zoe
