Griid premiere at Plastikman Live, Detroit

Griid is proud to have had it’s world premiere performance at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival 2010. Richie Hawtin, performing as Plastikman, took to the stage with two iPads running Griid and made history as the first to use iPad technology on a major festival stage!

Griid is used to trigger clips from an Ableton Live set which trigger musical events as well as visual events in Derivative’s touch designer and lighting. Richie even uses Griid during soundcheck to be able to play his live show remotely from the Front of House mixer, 100 metres away from the stage setup and the rest of his gear!

It seems fitting that we take these steps into the future of technology and performance in a city so important in the history of today’s electronic music scene.
Richie says of the new Plastikman Live setup: “I think this is the beginning of it all, we’ve been testing and testing and here we go tonight!
