Thanks!
For last night's show (with Audiobraille) I took Frank's suggestion and ran
meterbridge in old-skool VU mode, and an RXVT with aseqdump, in addition to my Xclock. It
made it a bit more interesting to look at for the couple people sitting off to one side of
the stage.
The aseqdump scrolling up looks somewhat like a tracker, which I guess might have confused
any techno/house/IDM musicians who might have been lurking around back there (there
weren't any AFAICT).
Thanks again!

Here are two short clips from last Friday night,
of Linux being played live in a jazz-oriented context:

Bass (via fluidsynth) is left hand, Rhodes (fluidsynth going through CAPS amp simulator
LADSPA plugin in ecasound) and AZR3 are right hand.
The sound quality of the video isn't great, buit the Linux Laptop which is making all
the keyboard and bass sounds, is clearly visible in the videos.
What's that running on my screen?
1) Emacs (with the setlist and changes of the songs)
2) A core)uple rxvt's
3) Ion3 tiling window manager
4) Xclock so the drummer and I could keep track of our set length
A lot of times I close the latop lid. But, when I leave it open, I'd like to have
something more interesting showing on screen if it's going to be visible from the
audience. Any ideas/suggestions as to what to run, that would be visually interesting, but
not too CPU intensive?
Thanks.

Very good. We can see and hear you're obviously enjoying yourselves.
It's also nice to put faces to the music :)
