June 2013
As with last year, June has been turning into a very busy month! I am very happy to say that this includes a piece that I have made years ago with Viv Corringham as part of Museruole, a track with the fab title of Who says banshees have no fun, which can be downloaded here.
There also is a live performance of Traces in/of/with Sound at Aural Detritus Festival in Brighton and the 9-channel piece Remembering Worlds (made in collaboration with Peter McKerrow, Robbie Judkins and Charlotte Desborough) for the BeOpen Sound Portal. It’s a piece made around 2001: A Space Odyssey and features me singing the Blue Danube (very briefly thankfully, sounds we have termed R2D2, and a brief rocket-ship-lift0ff experience amongst other things.
Have a look at the events diary for the details.

Anyone remember the Be Open Sound Portal created by Arup launched at last year’s London Design Festival in Trafalgar square? This year the portal is migrating to Chelsea as part of a University of the Arts London project, and LCC is putting together a 80 min programme around the theme Sound, Place, Memory with three student compositions and two artist compositions. I am delighted to say that I am creating one of the former and currently selecting a number of collaborators for the venture. More soon.

February 2013
A little while ago I was invited by Mexican composer Israel Martínez to contribute to his brilliant project In Memoriam alongside other artists such Francisco López, Murcof, Janek Schaefer, Philippe Petit, Simon Whetham and many more interesting folk. The piece is based on Israel’s experience strolling throughout the eccentric cemetery Jardines del Humaya in Culiacan (Mexico), capturing shocking messages that relatives and friends leave to their dead printed on canvas. You can now download this for free via http://www.suplex.mx.

An excerpt of my piece Room With A View has been published as part of Ex-trauma, part of the Experiments and Intensities series published by Winchester University Press, which is curated by Annette Arlander, Yvon Bonenfant and Mary Agnes Covey-Krell. Find out more here.
I have just spotted a nicely mayhem-video from my recent performance at the Liverpool Biennial. The sound is a bit abysmal as it’s directly from the camera, but, it’s fun:
There are also some images from the recent Utrophia concert with Tom Scott, Jonas Gustafsson, Adam Bohman, Zolan Quobble, Sara Ragab, Michael Shaw and David Aylward on flickr. Pictures from the Aural Detritus concert in Brighton can be found on my facebook page and way nicer ones on that of Andrea Shambolic.
