outing sounds

i found out this week I've just recieved a Sounding Out grant from the Australia Council for the Arts to assist with development of some alternative HCIs (in this case, accellerometers). This is part of my new solo live performance endeavour - ID-i/o.

I'm using one of Angelo Fraietta's microcontrollers and have been working with Nick Engel from Lake Technology to assist in building some modifications to the board.

the first prototype was performed with at Gadget (at the Australian Choreographic Centre), as part of a collaboration with dpwolf.

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.
