live-rig

Performance system that coordinates audio, control, and video as one rig with explicit setup, recovery, and validation logic.

Repository →

What it is

live-rig is a documented hybrid scene system for audio, video, MIDI, and OSC. It matters publicly as a field manual and operational topology, not only as a one-off performance setup.

What it lets people do

It lets performers and maintainers coordinate media lanes, preflight a setup, and recover from failure without treating the rig as private operator folklore.

What is public now

  • Project repo Current runbooks, preflight notes, scenes, and validation tooling.
  • Source evidence already surfaced Repo docs support cautious architecture and runbook claims while the public-safe routing capture is still missing.

Evidence status

Status: working prototype. The public repo supports field-manual and validation claims, but a public-safe routing diagram or setup capture is still needed before the page should sound more field-tested than it is.

Next proof object: Redacted routing diagram or short setup tour using generic endpoint names instead of venue-specific or private infrastructure details.

Boundary note

This project should be shown as a documented performance method without exposing private machine names, network details, venues, or personnel.

What remains unresolved

  • The page should not imply every configuration is reproducible from public material alone.
  • A redacted visual proof object is still missing.
  • The minimal-rig versus full-rig story is not yet surfaced clearly in public.

Methods surfaced

Proof objects

  • Project repo documentation Status: public. Runbooks, preflight notes, scenes, and validation tooling are public now.
  • Public-safe routing diagram or setup tour Status: needed. Still needed before the page should imply stronger field use than the current public proof supports.
  • live-rig-control The control-layer companion that makes the larger rig intelligible and operable.
  • MOARkNOBS-42 A flagship instrument that can feed directly into the rig’s control language.
  • drone-chorus Extends the same control and performance questions into telemetry-driven systems.

The Atlas is the relationship layer. Use the repository for current project-specific truth, and use studio-notes when methods, decisions, or teaching material need to travel across the fleet.
