Luna created the music using Apple Loops in Garage Band. Twitch audience members controlled the Minecraft character via chat.

In late 2020, I (Ramon) had the idea to incorporate Minecraft into my ensemble at UMass Lowell - the Contemporary Electronic Ensemble. We had been doing remote learning since March 2020, and I wanted a way to capture the real-time musical interaction we had prior to Covid. Luna (my daughter) had played some Minecraft, and I quickly realized that there might be some way to accomplish that in-game. Upon closer inspection, I realized that Minecraft might be the most expressive games ever created.
I scheduled a solo performance for April 1, 2021, and got to work on the concept. I asked Luna to write the opening number for me.

Luna created the music using Apple Loops in Garage Band. For the first half of the performance, the player's movements were synchronously controlled by Ableton Live.
Twitch audience members controlled the Minecraft character via chat for the 2nd half.

Mine...Minecraft!!! is part of the void loop () Minecraft performances.

void loop() is a collection of performances in an elaborate Minecraft world. Audio from the game is routed through Ableton Live for some live looping and other antics.

void loop () is a growing collection of pieces inside a Minecraft world (void biome). The title is a reference to the biome, the looping techniques I use, and the Arduino function - the Arduino IDE was used to program a Teensy 3.2 board that a Twitch audience can use to control my Minecraft Character. Chat users can enter commands like !left and !right to turn my character at times during the performance.

void loop () was first performed on April 1, 2021 on twitch.tv/autumnateeverything for the UMass Lowell Music Department's Recital Hour.
