if you’re in melbourne, you can see these plugins in action along with some button pressing, singing and jumping around when i play live at plugnplay next thursday the 28th of april at the kent st cafe, 201 smith st, fitzroy. i think i’m playing with vdmokstati, jean poole and others… bit short on details at the moment… but it’ll be awesome, i’m sure. the day after that (friday 29th) i’m playing at the builders arms with time shield, the leafs and sun blindness. i’ll also supplying visuals for the leafs and sun blindess. check the fb event! and the poster:
in other news, the dudes at projuice have thrown up a little write up about me which makes me feel a little warm and fuzzy. projuice is a media creation showing airing on abc at the moment – it’s really great seeing tutorial style programming making the airways especially since it’s pretty much favorite sort of thing to watch on the interwebs. that and videos of baby sloths. in other, other news, i’ve been inspired by this, this and this and have decided to build a midi controller (i’ve undertaken a similar project in the past). i’ll be using the guts from two korg nanokontrols and a usb qwerty keyboard and it should end up looking a bit like this:

i’m playing this saturday night at the empress with JUNK! and the time shield – and this time not as zeal but as my VJing alter ego lazy laser. i’ll be trailing some new AV material (using VIZZable) and it will be under rehearsed but hopefully interesting. it should be a taste of the future zeal live show. the inimitable junk will be doing some stripped down acoustic or ambient or jazzy versions of their songs and time shield will be there to shield us from the horrors of time (and also make pretty pictures and sounds). back to getting my shit together! go dig the facebook event.

He’s done some tricky editing to make me say things i never really said… check it out Y’all! Oh yeah! Give me that podcast!

My album is ranked third on a whothehell.net ”list”. It’s the second time i’ve ever been on a list and it’s still fun. Last week my song “clouds” made a top songs of 2010 podcast on polaroids of androids. it was the first time i’d ever been on a list and it was fun. i played alot of shows this year, all of which had secret words, many of which i can’t remember. some were:
the best gigs of the year were hobart + music = yeah and the gate.
i also had a great time at this is not art where i sat on a panel and talked about axis. i got to make a mixtape sorta thing for a polaroids of androids podcast and inflict my taste in music on the masses. i put out an animated film clip for vigilante with midi and lights: i released my debut album and it landed album of the week on FBi.
it was also uploaded to a russian file-sharing website. it’s been a good year. onwards into a happy and productive twenty-eleven! bob. I’ve returned from This Is Not Art all energised and inspired. More recording at the end of the year and more touring are the wildebeest in my crosshairs but there are some other vermin to knock off beforehand:
I’m working on a few new music videos as well – first up’s Vigilante which will be a MIDI sequenced animation and then Wasps which will be some sort of warp speed slide show. Also, if you get a chance, go see 10k Free Men and Their Families. He was awesome at TINA. Exhibit A:
Sydney was awesome. Pictures and thing will surface, I’m sure. like these ones: If you’re heading to this year’s TINA I’m going to part of a panel discussing making music with game controllers smart phones, not so smart phones etc. I imagine I’ll be talking about AXIS and and MAX/MSP… The TINA/Sound Summit Program puts it like this: Saturday, October 2nd: 2.00pm – 4.00pm: Artist Presentation Facilitator: Andrew Tuttle (Sound Summit) Should be a lot of interesting ideas in one place! If you’re in Adelaide Monday the 20th of September (tonight) come down to the wheatsheaf from around 8 to see Virtual Proximity play with me in my VJ disguise.

As mentioned in my previous post, I’m doing lots of vaious live things in the next few weeks so if you’re in Melbourne, Sydney, Tasmania or Radelaide keep an ear to this here intertron cyber-blog.
In other news, I’ve discovered my hallway sounds amazing and am exploiting it to the best of my abilities. New sounds coming your way soon. Said sounds may or may not sound like this. |
