NIME concert
16/06/10 05:43
I am delighted to have Jason Noble from Ensemble Offspring playing my piece Grace Space as part of the opening night concert for the NIME 2010 conference in Sydney on June 17, 7PM at the Eugene Goosens Hall at the ABC Ultimo Centre. It will utilise 8 channels of Meyer UPJ1s to generate clouds of sound using the Kyma system from the clarinet part which is scored. Hope to see you at one of the NIME concerts. Cheers, Garth

Mopoke Owl outside my house

I recorded this Mopoke Owl; the other night - just going to sleep around midnight and it started up - was such a fantastic sound I had to get up - original recording with a Soundfield SPS200 ambisonic mic and a Sound Devices 788T

On Daniel Levitin's site Six Songs, there are a number of very interesting videos discussing science and art - the discussions with the musician David Byrne are some of my favourites

This video of the MS Courier shows some very innovative approaches to interfacing and computing in every day life
What I think is interesting about the Courier is the approach to 2 screens. I makes me think that Apple are the ones caught in a design loop - ie. the iPad is essentially an overgrown iPhone with some more functionality - ie the iWork suit, but it does not champion any real innovation in interaction design beyond that developed by Apple for the iPod/iPhone, which we probably all remember as amazing when it came out. I also note that Apple have only released glossy adds that flick through everything very very quickly - no details - no workflow illustrations like the Courier video. The Courier is essentially vapourware at the moment as we are unlikely to see it on the market - this may of course be why the iPad was released before it was ready... ?
