Had to post something else up here because every time I checked my blog to see how awesome I still am, I'd see my wife's face staring back at me. Awkward and unsettling.
Self-indulgent meta: apparently this thing I am doing here is now called 'indieweb' by all the cool kids. Keeping a blog in 2014 is kind of ridiculous! :)
Michelle has won the Noosa One Act Play Competition 2014 for her play The Invitation - hooray, and congratulations!!!
I feel very fortunate to be married to such an amazing lady. :)
Greetings from Porto! Last night's algorave was quite something. Amazing sets from Julio d'Escriván, Andrew Brown, Renick Bell, and the inimitable Mico Rex!
I'm very lucky to be a small cog in a larger movement of new music called Algorave. This is dance music made by software algorithms, or to put it more poetically "sounds wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive conditionals," in the words of Alex McLean who coined the term.
I'll be playing some music from this genre live at the following places and times in the days and weeks ahead:
-
2014/05/31 - This Saturday at Maker Faire Torino here in Italy.
-
2014/06/27 - at the xCoAx conference official Algorave in Porto, Portugal.
-
2014/07/04 - at an Algorave in The Loft in Brighton.
I am very excited!
The software I am using was developed inside Miller S. Puckette's Pure Data.
