…and believe me, I’ve had a few:

Not sure where I’m finding the time to write this, but here’s some worthwhile things:
moonbell: The Japanese Space Agency recently did a bunch of high resolution surveying of the moon. So what do you do with the data from that? Well, you turn the moon into something like a record player, by matching pitch to altitude. I can’t possibly do it justice – go see for yourself. (And be sure to click on preferences! There’s all kinds of things you can do.)
Subcycle Labs is a guy in Portland who may have the best damn performance interface I’ve ever seen. No lie – this is a must see.
On a much less hip note, Musica Box is a painfully family friendly (but very good) game from Big Fish that asks all sorts of interesting questions about notation, scoring, and musical memory. Worth a chunk of your time.
So school is BUSY. Merde. Just a quick update to say that I am playing from 10 to 11 at Decade, on October 23rd at Sunset, as ITERATE. Iterate is a live / improv project that I do with Oakley ‘Patience Automate’ Low – we’re like a lofi, 8-bit answer to Cobblestone Jazz.
I am also playing at Hush on October 31st, from 11 to 1230 with the immortal Matt What. That will be sinful, dark, decadent dance music – which is, of course, the best kind.
Downloads and viewing of both audio and video are now available at tide-pool.ca/theworldoutside. Hold on.
The final set of previews is up at tide-pool.ca/theworldoutside. The screening is on Friday, and downloads open up on Saturday around noon. I hope to see you either in person or on the interwebs,.
THE WORLD OUTSIDE will debut on September 25th, at the University of Victoria. Audio and video downloads will go live before noon on September 26th. Oh snap.
And, there’s another set of previews, for the fifth movement, at tide-pool.ca/theworldoutside. Please pardon the pun.
Audio and video samples from the third movement are now up at tide-pool.ca/theworldoutside. Look out for tricky time signatures, cunning congas, and stratospheric pads.
Suspiciously, for a movement that’s called ‘Too Many Baboons’, there are no baboons in the previews. Check it here.
…are up at tide-pool.ca/theworldoutside. The second movement is called Desolation Jones, and may or may not feature spine-tingling ambient, giant spider crabs, and deep sea dubstep.
It’s ready. It’s been year and a half of my life. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s one hour, three minutes and six seconds of my music. Meet THE WORLD OUTSIDE – releasing in September on Tide Pool.
