From this article by Ed Bilous and Mari Kimura:

[Brendan] embarks this time on an interactive work titled Study for Percussionist and Electronics, performed by Alex Lipowski. In this work, there is no written score in the traditional sense, and the performance is a discovery process nearly as much for the performer as for the audience. The percussionist will strike a silent “pad” with sensors, which will be fed into a computer, using the interactive computer system Max/MSP. Every aspect of the music then heard through the speakers will be governed entirely by the performer’s actions.
