"Escapement" documented some of the the work I did during my sabbatical in 2003. The DVD has videos of live concert performances, excerpts from lectures/demonstrations (about my work with the Tactex MTC Express touchpad and Oxygen 8 controllers, as well as some background on performing with technology), recording studio footage, information on the composers and their works, and bonus tracks including alternate versions of some of the improvised pieces. The CD has edited and mastered versions of the repertoire. Here's a look at a couple of the DVD menus:
