fringes of electro

this year's electrofringe didn't seem to have the same intensive vibe as other years - some speculate this has ties to the close of bloody fist in newcastle. thus said, this year i spoke on a few panels and presented a few collaborative performances with a number of different people

somehow the 3am jam at the collaborador space - post inappropriate discussion at the leagues club - had me fired up to actually push my feelings through my sound. such a good channel for providing a realm to explore and diffuse my frustrations while hoping the message gets through to others.

haven't ever jammed with govinda before - such a beautiful play - wonder why we've never managed to do this in the past...

this is about...

solo performance at the Amnesty International Freedom Festival 2005 - at Tilley's on the 25th September. aired a new work i've been developing - loosely titled "this is about..." and all the things that standing up infront of a microphone, being given the opportunity to have a voice, represents.

at times life seems so serendipitous - this gig with ursula rucker, having listened so frequently to her silver or lead album during the end, 2004. having acts of infidelity by previous partners push our paths to cross and into a parallel stream of sonic production and empowerment.

this is about, is about so many things - but mainly about respect, openness and honesty.
