TiffGuys2009The Bad Mind Time™ Digital Symphonies are now out there, in the ether.

What it is: a 12+ hour archive of digital music and audio experiments I made between 1991 and 2005. What it is not: probably, uhm, listenable. But maybe there’s material there for those who speculate in theories and meanings, and the parsing of popular and arcane aspects of digital sound organized under the big circus tent of improvisation and experiment.

Like the audio version of watching sausage being made, or witnessing a car crash, it’s both revolting and compelling. And now it’s out there, released into the world! Yikes!

memeBasicWhiteIt’s time for another gig by meme™—media experimental ensemble. Join us at the next Auteur Explosion, at Cinema Paradiso in Ft. Lauderdale, on 21 November, 2009. meme™ takes the stage around 11:45 (bands, a play, and a bellydancer before; local films after).

What’s new this time is that you can buy the official meme™ t-shirt. Wear it proudly!

Finally finished my little paper Experimental Media: Subversive and Syncretic Practices (2009) (in a neat .pdf version designed by Graphic artist and designer Asma Nazim, or as a boring Word document version) (yes, I know, it has that ivory-towery ring to it) for the ICERI Conference, in Madrid, which I won’t be attending (that’s why it’s a ‘virtual presentation’). Boo hoo. And while the paper will not go down in history, at least I was able to, uhm, finish it on time. And catch most of the typos (tricky, because the conference template had some un-doable Spanish spellchecker in it, so most of my English was flagged red).
