Audio trigger -> next/random clip

Hi,
I'm doing an installation soon with an artist friend and we were looking at making it somewhat interactive.
The idea being, that taking an audio trigger (which is actually her with a typewriter and a guitar pedal) and having that trigger "play next clip" or "play random clip from same layer" in Resolume (Arena).
Has anyone done anything like this before? and/or could you suggest anything that could do this.
I've got Live9/Max4Live installed as well if that helps any.
It's a little different from what I normally do!
We were also considering doing some surface mapping from the clips/layers, depending upon how the environment works out - it's (to be) in a gallery space on the South Bank in London.

TIA,
Sean.

That sounds straightforward.

Specifically, what you want is that when she makes a sound, it will trigger a video clip, right?

You can definitely do this in Max/MSP, and I imagine it would be easy in Max4Live.

You'll want the bonk~ external for Max: http://crca.ucsd.edu/~tapel/software.html

That will take an incoming audio stream, look for percussive events, and output a message. You can use that to trigger a MIDI output, which Resolume can use.
