Genius!

I’ll be playing saturday afternoon (3:00 pm) at La Maison de Paille in Lausanne (I think it’s very near the Espace Autogéré) for Appendice, a radio show broadcast on Fréquence Banane (92.4 FM). This is supposed to happen outside. My friend James d’O et Patricia Bosshard (Mur//Mur//) play as well.
Sets last for 20∼25 minutes. Appendice is about experimental live music, so I’m gonna do something a bit more experimental than usual. No Jackie Chan or zombies this time, I’ll bring the contact microphone I’ve just built, magnet motors, TV remote and Wii stuff.

The second part of my live at frison is now available for download. The beginning is taken from Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead“.

I’ve just upgraded this blog to version 2.5 of Wordpress. The upgrade went smoothly, all plugins are still working!

Some time ago I did a web page running a processing applet that I called Painting Machine. Anyone could draw lines onto a small canvas and make some kind of abstract painting… A few months later I accidentally removed the files from my web server and then forgot about it. Today I put it back on line.

I’ll play at fri-son in Fribourg on March 25th.
There will be a live act of feldermelder too and we’ll do improvise something together at the end.
It starts at 10pm and it’s free!
Thanks to Marc who organizes k.o.roke.

After some soldering sessions last week I’ve (half)finished my DIY midi controller. So far I’ve only fixed 8 controls, 8 more to fix yet. I bought the box and the buttons in Akihabara, the shopping area for electronic goods in Tokyo and I’m using the Doepfer’s Pocket Electronic which makes all this quite easy to build actually.

My dealer in Akihabara!

On flickr yet.

This is definitely my favorite shot among all the photos I took in Egypt. Others are on flickr.
