Hey Mel I've finally put some of my music up! Let me know what gigs you've got coming up:)

hi.
Want to participate in a collective sound installation presented in Kiasma (contemporary art museum of Finland), Helsinki and Conflux festival New York? Work is about urban silences and allows the viewer (or listener) to mix and loop different urban silences together. do you have a video camera or other recorder for sound? please msg me ASAP if intrested or if you want more info

cheers

thank you for your comment. enjoy life and art!

I saw a cellist the other night, playing through a tape lop machine and an oscillator. Fascinating how she began to alter the sounds it made, used some vocals as well. It all got quite dark, thought she might be trying to summon something at one point! Can't remember her name though, although she had been collaborating with Tony Conrad (which is probably why I went!). Went to a talk a few months ago looking at composing and how the sounds of the city can be considered music in their own right, or used as instruments. The woman talked about Elsa Marie Pade, using different graphic ways of using scores etc to form the basis for the sound. The lady has a blog somewhere, www.autograf.com/hodkinson I think - might be useful!

I guess that the way the music is composed is important, look at the scratch orchestra and how they used the idea of improvised collaborative working, but with a structure underneath it all. Shame it all imploded really!

As for those paintings, I've never really thought about them that much, they began as drawings which I've been doing for as long as I can remember, way before I knew anything about 'art'. I see why you say about the rhythm in them, thats a really interesting insight, Rhythm is something I've always been obsessed with - can't get away from always having a rhythm in there somewhere whatever it is I do!

As far as the breath stuff goes, do you know of Mikhail Karikis? He does alot with vocal noises, coughs etc. Really good.

Hi Mel
thanxs, If you click on the art I have written blogs for each, the street art is about the social divide and fear of the hooded youths in uk. The door images are a curiosity of what social interaction is hidden inside. The yellow and blue photography is a play on Monopoly and the decline of economics, my belief is that bankers greed has caused this social demise. I call it Conolopy...:) mx
