bum bumbum
I have just returned from touring with kunt for the past 2 weeks. Kunt is myself and lulu deluxe. We made audible bums for this tour. I embeded a basic bassy sounding synth made from a 40106 chip into some extra booty padding that we made. Each bottom featured a light meter and 4 touch [...]
sea moss
I have been playing around with some cmos chips based on schematics from the fun with sea moss website. I changed some capacitors and added some switches to choose between them. I’m getting some really great sounds from bass tones to scratchy noise. Right now it’s all just guts on a stripboard as I’m experimenting [...]

@ Steim
I spent 10 days attending the orientation workshop at Steim in Amsterdam. It’s interesting to see the technologies they have developed and also learn about the history of the place. It is always interesting and inspiring to hear about completely different approaches to your personal style and the workshops sparked many ideas for designs and [...]

I have two projects being presented this week at ISEA and Helsinki Design Week. The first is that I will be presenting Mapplers – a collaborative hand drawn atlas which I am working on – at ISEA (International Symposium of Electronic Arts) in Ruhr, Germany. I am presenting as part of the Ludic Mapping panel [...]
Friend_ship
It’s been some time since last posting and this is just a quickie…. I have recently returned from performing at the Friend_ship performance art festival organised by the Performance Art Union of Latvia. The festival was moving – all the artists travelled together on an ex-fishing boat. We stopped in Riga, Tallin, Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen [...]
