Sonorities and TWO Thousand + NINE

On May 16th 2009 I performed as part of the closing concert of Sonorities 2009 at the Sonic Arts Research Center, Belfast, N. Ireland. The performance was with Chris Corrigan, Manuela Meier, Pauline Oliveros, Gascia Ouzounian, Pedro Rebelo, Franziska Schroeder, Justin Yang, plus Chris Chafe and Doug Van Nort. [Details…]

On the same day I presented a paper ‘io 0.0.1 beta: ironic tale? sci-fi parody? nostalgic relic?’ at the TWO Thousand + NINE symposium. [More…]

My trip to Belfast was made possible with the generous support of the Arts Council of Ireland.

Ten Questions from the Cork Independent

From the local free tabloid, the Cork Independent. My first (last?) fluff piece…

From the Cork Independent March 26th 2009
From the Cork Independent March 26th 2009

How many members of the (semi-fictional) trans-national tribe of latter-day improvising musicians can say they’ve done a fluff piece, huh? (Not counting the blindfold tests.) Braxton? Crispell? Parker? Ha! I don’t think so….

The newspaper piece was by Graham Lynch, with a photo by John Hough.

Stet Lab celebrates its first birthday

Stet Lab enters its second year of real-time mutations and hybrids! Launched in November 2007 with the question ‘where’s Nicki?’, somehow this no-budget, volunteer-run semi-organization has survived ten events and welcomed a dozen guest artists.

I’m pleased and excited to be celebrating Stet Lab’s first birthday with a special event, featuring the extraordinary saxophonist, improviser and theorist Franziska Schroeder, on November 10th 2008, upstairs @ The Roundy, Cork, Ireland. [Details…]
