this performance heavily leans on live re-sampling to produce counterpoint and variation in response to performance gestures. The main playback channel for the re-sampling buffer is un-muted at 0:42 - this re-sampling buffer is fed by the cue bus, giving me the ability to choose different audio streams or submixes to re-sample, which I utilize to shape the longer-term direction of the arrangement. In the final major section of the piece, starting at 5:42, a greater density of performance techniques and variations in their timing is utilized to bring the material into a new context and draw more nuances and variety from the live re-sampling approach

"According to custom, the King of the Bean had absolute license. For twelve days following his chance selection, he reigned supreme, ordering his fellows about and indulging in his passions. He was allowed to wallow in every pleasure, however sinful. No door nor bed was barred to him. At any hour, he might enter another's house to eat and drink his fill. If he wanted his neighbor's wife, she was his; likewise any daughter. Obscene behavior, such as urinating on the altar of the church, not only was permitted, it was encouraged. Wherever he went, whatever he did, the Bean King was attended by a rowdy entourage, adjusting his mock crown (so that it always set askew), pulling at his mock robes (so that they revealed his buttocks), plying him with song and cider, cheering him, jeering him, egging him on... Then the peasants explained to him the rest of the custom. At the end of his twelve-day rule, on the Day of the Epiphany, the usual restraints of law and morality were abruptly restored. Still wearing his crooked crown, the King of the Bean was led to a certain meadow outside the village, where his throat was cut." - from Tom Robbin's Jitterbug Perfume (pages 39-40)
