The first event to kick off the LA season for 2008 said it best with the site: the grimey, entropy-laden cells and halls of the Old Melbourne Gaol's City WatchHouse.Hosted by students from the RMIT Fine Art Sound Department, and members of the 'Within Earshot' collective, the night began with a series of installations and 'in-cell' performances located along the main hallway of the Gaol.Performers and Installers pieces included the breadth of audio-visual exploration: from VVVV displaced video projections, analog-meets-digital ...Read More

I just love this review of Dragon's Lair for NES. Kudos to Nils Koster for showing it to me. It's totally on the money. I owned this game as a kid and used to play it for hours. I could never get past that bridge. I think I did get through the door once but as soon I got to the next level I died and got Game Over :( Read More

I discovered the work of Roman Verostko today, a pioneer of the so-called "Algorists" movement. A former monk and priest, Verostko moved from mathematical drawings to coded algorithmic compositions, totally transforming his practice and undertaking a complete studio overhaul. Read More
Well it's been a busy week. One of the busiest weeks I've had in ages. I bought Casey Reas and Ben Fry's book, 'Processing: A Programming Handbook for Visual Designers and Artists', which to me represents something of a commitment to code... It's a bizzare turning point in my life where, for some reason, learning how to use code makes a lot of sense. Read More
Stumbled upon these guys a couple of years back. Haven't heard much of their stuff... but got the idea they're awesome for some reason... I been racking my brains trying to think who I would want to see live while I'm in Europe and these dudes came to mind. Read More

I've been pursuing art for quite some years now. Traversed 3D, web design, imaging, video editing suites, audio sequencers, virtual instruments ~ now, i feel like I've almost hit the wall. It's like that whole phase has come to an end. Probably my favourite software at the moment is Ableton Live, but I'm being pulled towards programming. Read More

The odd thing about it is lots of reviews come from businessmen, as if this were a guidebook to become CEO. But to me it totally seems to be for Artists (i think his last book was more for businessmen). Then, Artists could use some more business and business could use a little more Art. Read More

By and large I spent little time at the conference of this festival. It was just too much to do the conference, see films, exhibitions, and then manage to see all the acts of the night concerts without feeling completely exhausted. So I tended to skip the conference and come in for the night-time. I would have liked to see Jeffrey Shaw's talk, hopefully there'll be a podcast online.I managed to pick up quite a few items along the way: ...Read More
Julien Maire 'Digit' - De Balie FoyerA lone man sits at a desk passing his hand over blank pages. Miraculously, words appear, as if typed. I was unsure how this piece was executed, either by some form of 'stamp' hidden within the artists' palm, or perhaps some kind of heat sensitive system, however resulted in an intriguing and entertaining spectacle.

Leeraum (Pe Lang & Zimoun) LIVE at Melkweg Media Room, AMSTRDM
An interesting minimal piece that used motors controlled by pots to affect the speed of the 'necklace' objects that rotated around them. The surface under each machine was amplified by contact mics while the material was changed from cardboard to felt and other materials, affecting timbre. Read More

So far I'm really stoked with the University. It's based in Hilversum, halfway between Utrecht and Amsterdam. The courses are intensive and there's a bit more technical information. I'm taking Spatialisation, Max/MSP and Electronic Music Composition. I'll try and execute a few guitar projects I have in mind while I'm here. Read More
