Richard directs a World Premier & Live Soundtrack
"The History of the Future"*
TheaterLab, 137 W 14th, NYC
When I participated in Lucio Menegon's Music for Driving and Film shows last December, one of the bonuses was being invited to join Richard Lainhart's Orchestra of the Future to perform a live improvised score to the short film "History of the Future", which Richard had created from "technical, medical, and instructional animations from the 30s through the 70s, all of it public-domain content from the Prelinger Archives".
We closed the evening at Exapno with it and it was a blast. It went remarkably well and I was excited to do it again someday. It turned out to be Richard's last performance.

Check out reaction to Richard's live Buchla performance on matrixsynth
"I don't even know where to begin. He started slow and low with long slowly changing drones and they just built and built and built until the room was completely taken over by this enormous wall of sound that was moving and changing with sound and textures and rhythms all over the place. It was amazing." — Seth Haley
