Instructions for Conductor

Why?

Now I am getting closer to answering the question or at least a step closer to answer the question of why I need ConDiS. As a amateur conductor myself with some experience conducting mixed music it has bothered me all the time not to have the same control of the electronic sounds as the acoustic, meaning during concerts I can communicate with the performers via musical gestures or what we call conducting gestures but not the electronics it just sits there and plays whatever gestures I do. Even worse, if I feel in the middle of a flood of emotions to change the tempo I do so by changing the speed of my arms moment and sure the performers follow all except the one, the “electronic” one. If I want (for some reason) the music to be played louder than written then I do indicate that perhaps with bigger conducting gestures or raising my arm(s). The performers follow, all except the “electronic” performer. Therefore for me as a composer of mixed music, I need a tool to communicate to the whole ensemble not to all except one and I want to do that through a simple classical media we call musical score and musical conductor.
