Touch
synths for 12 songs were created by Touch artists Ben Voigt, Farah Yusuf and Greg Hermanovic. Derivative
brought on Markus Heckmann to travel with the band and VJ
for the tour.
Heckmann
performs the visuals live, alternating between two Alienware
Area-51m Extreme laptops, each running TouchMixer
with a MotorMix MIDI slider/button box and an Oxygen8 MIDI
keyboard. The high-resolution image from TouchMixer is fed
from an Area-51m to the triple-width LED screen behind the
band.
