Jeez Zoe,

Given that it's only five minutes,  I'd also agree with whoever suggested
that you use PC laptop running a single (or double) instance of Mobius,
quite worrying about duplicating your entire setup and then
be the wonderful musician that you already are and actually have fun
learning
how to use Mobius (which you'll get, basically, in 30 minutes of fucking
around).
It'll be fun!

You can get across a lot in five minutes of playing whether you
improvise or
not and the learning curve of Mobius will be so fast for you.

The impact will be made.......it will still be the Zoe Keating that we
know and love
and you can use the time you saved trying to duplicate your setup (which
won't be
possible or at least will be fraught with problems and headached)
to actually write a new piece of music which,  after all,  is the reason
we're doing
all of this stuff, right?

My 2 cents but I know that whatever you do will be well received.

This must be a hell of a keynote speech for some very important people
to put this much thought into it.    can you reveal?
