Vision - Random Music Virtuose Spieltechnik und klassische Harmonielehre sind scheinbar Vergangenheit. Mit ReacTable, Monome, Tenori-On, Karl der Klarinette oder Lemur wird die Musik zum Zufallsprodukt und zum Kinderspiel. Ähnlich wie MIA oder Kraftwerk spielen auch Daft Punk seit kurzem am liebsten mit Touchscreens. Mehr Infos unter: http://www.arte.tv/de/kunst-musik/tra... Via MATRIXSYNTH

by Dr Gooi Tah Choe and Darren Ng (a.k.a. sonicbrat) Photography stops time. Music extends it. Can these two interpretations of time be one? Inter-woven by an oxymoron, PING:II explores this "limbo" in time/space through a jigsaw of two contradicting, yet related mediums. Musicians Darren Ng and Gooi Tah Choe present a discussion with audio-visual works of a joined creative process that crosses sight and sound.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO & TICKETING DETAILS

Love the way she plays... her techniques are different from the purist school of etherwave theremin playing... Via Matrixsynth
 I was invited by Dickson Dee from Hong Kong to perform in this sound/noise festival in Hanoi ( Hanoi Sound Stuff). A last minute invitation that happened today as Dickson had tried to get me and finally got to do so from my friend in China (Hong Qile), whom I am working on a sound art collaboration project called " Bi-aleatory" or simply, " Bi-a" ( http://www.myspace.com/bialeatory or http://www.neocha.com/bi_a). Supposedly if I can go, I'll be flying coming Thu and perform on Fri and back by Sat or Sun... BUT, I have Pinocchio Complex rehearsals, the last two rehearsals, which are crucial rehearsals. So painfully, I had to say no to this opportunity. * SOBS* I REALLY WANT TO GO!!! I REALLY WANT TO GO!!! T_T Hopefully, I'll be invited again to elsewhere the next time round.
In any case, I am really glad to be in touch with Dickson Dee, I have heard so much about him and his works. Just that it's a pity things can't happen this time round. He'll be in Singapore coming week so hopefully can meet up with the man himself soon.
PS: The poster is not the final one, but drafted... so I believe the design would be nicer and more artists involved... just what Dickson had sent me...
 Yes, deadline on Monday for the re-run of THE PILLOWMAN by SRT. I won't be able to play live this time round because I will be at TFP's PINOCCHIO COMPLEX... which, but the way, is sold out! It was sold out since last week. Now, that's hot. Glad for TFP. They had made a name for themselves over the years. And was chatting with Woan Wen the other day about how TFP works like a "family"... really, it's very nice working in TFP. Love it...
So I had just finished recording music for ACT1, taking a break now (recording it is harder than playing live I realized!!!)... spent about 2 hours setting up, another 3 hours just to record the first 50min of the show! (This show is 3 hours)... ACT2 is music/sound heavy. I must get it done tonight, so that by tomorrow I'll have time to mix-down and master to CD, not to mention I need to prepare the cue sheets! Bleaghh... I hate logistics!!!
Anyway, watching the VCD of The Pillowman (for recording reference) brought back many fond memories for that production. My toilet's light had been out for 3-4 days and I've been bathing in the dark with a red candle light (woooooooo)... I need time to go get the bulb!!! Meantime, it's romantic red candle light bubble baths for me!!! Here's a song that I've recently did for my Quiet Windows project, hope you all will enjoy it :) ... a l e a t o r i c l u l l a b y
 A live recording of my improvisation concert @ Lasalle on 22/01/2008. Hope you guys will enjoy it. Free downloads available soon.
A live improvisation set at a lunchtime concert. All instrumentations were sampled, manipulated and processed live with KP3 and RC-20 into various effects processors. All percussions were done on the electric guitar. Only three instruments were used: 1) Toy Xylophone; 2) Electric Guitar; 3) Voice; In the middle section, the sounds and noises were feedbacks caused by sending signals from the INEKO and KP3 into themselves, causing a feedback loop and manipulated with EQ live, the rest were processed sounds with Plogue Bidule and hardware effects unit of the original live sampling.
Gear List:
Toy Xylophone
Electric Guitar
KORG Koass Pad 3
BOSS RC-20 Loop Station
Alesis Ineko Multi-efx processor
Yamaha MG10/2 Mixer
E-bow
Mini clip-on microphone
MAC Powerbook: Running Plogue Bidule
Recording: KORG MR-1000

[UPDATES]: New download address due to overwhelming downloads!!!... Click HERE for the free download now.My latest project. This album was cut in 2-3 days, imperfect little pieces of electro-ambient improvisations did entirely on the KORG Triton ST88 and nothing else. I've composed this album in such a short time so that I could give it to my girlfriend who is leaving for vietnam today... as a little gift. W E A V I N G | 織造The W E A V I N G project builds on the ideology of minimalism and improvisation. The album is meant to be listened to from top till the end as a sole entity of sounds and melodies. The sub-harmonics, subliminal changes in timbres and the play of sub-frequencies and hyper-frequencies will leave your ears ringing at the end of the sonic experience.[Click on either of the images to download the entire album for free!]
 Feel free to download it and if you will, drop me a note on what you think of it :) Thanks for the support! Hope you guys will enjoy the album.
