David Behrman: Runthrough
David Behrman’s Runthrough is performed by Behrman, crys cole and Cleek Schrey (who recently performed alongside Behrman in April of this year). Behrman describes Runthrough as a piece that requires no special performance skills other than the ability to turn knobs and aim flashlights, making this early work of interactive live electronic music as playable by non-musicians as musicians.
