lounges & openings & gigs!
I’m playing deeper stuff at the UVic Grad Lounge on Wednesday (the 5th!) afternoon / evening, from 5 until 7. Also on board will be Mike ‘Eclectrix’ Dean and Dan ‘Ookpikk’ Godlovtich. Come have a beer or six with us.
On October 14th, I’m on opening duties at Hush for another fabulous Sub|Division party, with Eames & Monolithium.
Finally, on October 20th, ITERATE are playing at Cloudsounds 3, at the Fort Street Cafe. Busy times!

where & when
Did you ever want to see what music came out of London in 1970, vs. 1982? We can do that for you. Powered by the Echo Nest and Google Maps, hacked together by me, totally in beta.
things keep happening
I go to New York, and look: the blog doesn’t get touched. Tsk tsk.
In two weeks and a day, I leave Boston for Montreal, Edmonton, Nelson, and then home. Before then, I need to:
– finish the third movement of TH TMPST, which is slowly coming along, thank you for asking.
– Notate REISLING, a jam for Bassoon and electronics
– Organizing the first UVic Music Hack Day.
– Debug WHERE AND WHEN, an in-progress hack. (Specifically, I don’t think that multiple clicks work without re-loading the damn page.)
– Go to the beach!
