Upcoming performances at the Meat Market in Melbourne with Hellen Sky and Collaborators - an interactive dance performance utilising live bio sensing.

Performances are at 8PM on Friday and Saturday Nights and at 3PM on Sunday, August 1/2/3

Love these kits from Bleep labs - the thingamagoop is a small one led performance instrument for electronic sounds, glitchy blips etc

They also have a thingamakit which is a 2 LED performance interface, but you need to build it yourself, so being handy with a soldering iron will help

YEHHH for Dr BLEEP

The Australasian Computer Music Conference (ACMC 2008) is happening at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music - The University of Sydney this week - Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

Michael Atherton and I (SYNC) are performing a new work for electric guitar and live electronics on Friday night and on Saturday night I am playing a new work for flute and live electronics, titled Fue Sho which I wrote for the Aurora Festival earlier in the year.

A special guest of the conference is Robert Normandeau, one of my favorite electroacoustic composers.

I recommend you check out the Concert Program and come and check out all the great music. There are day time and night time concerts.

Ok, I have decided to have a section of my Blog for personal activities that I would like to share, such as Kayaking. So here is a link to some pics I took a few days ago on my birthday in fact, whilst on a paddle up the Woronora River . I have also logged the path on Google Earth using my new Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx portable marine GPS - which is absolutely wicked....

I am hoping to use the Kayaking category to link the pictures and the Google Earth paths so that others who might be interested can use the information to plan their own trips, and so I have a catalogue of my journeys - we'll see if I am disciplined enough to do it regularly...

If your interested, I have a FeelFree Moken in a nice sky blue colour, and without all the fishing paraphernalia ... It's a nice boat... it leaked a bit when I first got it, but that was the clips holding the seat in, and was repaired under warrantee, which was good... now it as dry as they come.

This is the Google Earth Link to my paddle path, collected by my GPS while I was paddling back down the Woronora River on July 3. It will open in Google Earth and show you the path and some information about it, like the distance etc. The paddle is about 5 KM in each direction and is very easy.
