Serious production of the event: people that take care of me (us) as guests as well as as performer(s).
 Serious advertisement of the event, so that the interested public knows about it.
 A silent sleeping place (including bed, sheet, pillows, blanket!), shower and breakfast (private accomodation ok) for me and my wife. The private room should be able to be locked, and also have a towel and a table with a chair. Internet access would also be good, wireless or otherwise.
 Hot, preferably vegetarian meal, or cooking possibilities (like a kitchen).
 Normal fee: 8.000 SEK (roughly € 850 or US $ 1,100, see current exchange rates) + per diem and travel. Travel money can possibly be applied for from Swedish institutions with a written invitation in good time. Please contact me for negotiations!

 Floor surface minimum 3x3 m.
 Stage lighting, in order for me to see my things and be visible for the audience.
 PA-system with stereo inputs, preferably a PA with sub-bass.
 One microphone stand with an arm (for my own voice microphone).
 Possibly 1-2 condenser microphones for acoustic sounds (depending on the acoustics and size of the hall).
 Monitored hearing on stage, or the loudspeakers from the PA behind me. (If it's a small room, a simpler arrangement with a keyboard/bass amplifier will do, on a chair behind me. Please no guitar amp.)
 1-2 stools (or chairs preferably without arms).
 A table, normal height, minimum 1,2 meters wide.
 A singing (musical) saw if available, otherwise a large, not rusty, hand saw. If I come by surface transport, I usually bring my own saws.
 Recording possibility (preferably digital, maybe also video) for documentation.
 Silent atmosphere (no active noisy drinking bar or café where people don't come for the performance).
 For North America or other places with 120 V currrency, please provide a mixer similar to Mackie 1202.
 If possible, borrow a Micro Moog or similar analog synthesizer.

 Height of the ceiling / pole above the floor: at least 6 m, preferably 8.
 Ladder for ceiling work (first for mounting the strings, then a lower one, possibly a chair, for climbing the instrument before and after playing it).
 Existing poles, tubes etc. in the ceiling or a corresponding high point (even outdoors) are the easiest solution, if they hang out at least one meter from any wall.
 (Otherwise drill and hooks if necessary: possibility to drill up hooks in the ceiling, which can be charged with the weight of one person - or a corresponding stable system for hanging, like a pole.)
 PA with sub-bass (important for good sound!) with ordinary Canon ("jack", "tele", "quarter inch") input close to stage or a DI box on stage. The Stringed Stirrups are amplified with a built-in contact microphone.
 Monitored hearing on stage, that can be well heard from my hanging/playing position.
 Stage lighting.

Technical specification: One or two mild lamps, no colours, to light up the coffin from the outside. One very small lamp, possibly flashlight, that I hold when I am lying in the coffin, and is lying in the coffin when I am pausing. It lights up my face from the inside. No amplification is basically needed, the coffin sounds by itself. However, if the atmosphere is very noisy, an extra amp is needed. But a chord with two contacts is needed at the coffin, one for my own mixer (230 V), one for the small lamp. The coffin should stand on a podium which should be black, wooden or white, which is larger than the coffin and has room for the mixer by the foot end. High: 80 cm, width min. 100 cm, length min. 260 cm.
Costs for materials: none, if you can arrange the podium.
Playing location: indoors or outdoors where people are passing by, if there's some room and space around, and not too disturbing noises around. At heavy rain, I should move inside. Two people (preferably four) should be able to move the podium with everything, after the chords are disconnected. The mixer must always be covered by something rain- and theaftproof! It could also be a stageact, but then about 15 minutes.
Security: I must be protected by vigilant guards at all times, since I am quite helpless and I have noticed that many people feel provoked by my singing in the coffin and can, for some reason, become violent! Otherwise I welcome communication with friendly spectators, who can also interact with me if they wish.
Performing time: up to two hours. (If not a stageact.)

Size about 52 x 110 and 50 cm high, it should be mounted on a table minimum that size. The transparent plastic sheets to protect the action is screwed into the table.
Amp needed, small mixer needed. The mixer needs 5 inputs from the Kaleidochord. I'll do the levels and eqs when I install it and then it's just left on all the time, or turned on when the gallery opens. The speaker(s) should be in front of the ears of the player so it doesn't become too loud for the environment.

Other equipment (Mackie 1202 mixer, voice microphone, computer for Max sound files) provided by myself.
