finally, there is a record of harmonium, the live AV set i created as a partner piece to the single channel video.
the live set is here:

and the original single channel version is here:

thanks to alejandro freeland for shooting this rough document of the harmonium live av project, at the gladstone hotel in toronto. thanks also to rozina kazi of LAL who invited me to perform, and of course robert lippok for being the Voice.

in the theatre today with theatre direct,working on a new show for january of 2011—a wonderful piece of physical theatre with a great history in canada, called head a tete.  it is a tremendous gift to have some time in the theatre with the cast to help guide the sound design.

off to germany soon to (among other things) have a double espresso with my knuckleduster compatriot robert lippok.  work on our new CD is nearing completion!  in the meantime, you can read and hear our contribution to the “collaboration” issue @ vague terrain, a really excellent online journal of electronic music.

new creative process with peggy baker begins in october, and i will be sound designing a major new exhibition at the art gallery of ontario about the maharajas of india.  we have an advisory committee in place, and the ago is committed to making sure there is community involvement in the mounting of this exhibition.  check out the blog and leave your comments.

next year has me in theatre mode, with new plays by the above mentioned theatre direct, with michael healy and peggy baker (directed by daniel brooks), and with pleiades theatre.  if you want to find me between january and june in toronto, check a theatre stage.  more details as they become known of course.

until next time.

back from a great time @ the sound symposium (follow the link to see some great pics from the 10 day festival).  played drums with maryem tollar but the thing i am most excited about is field, a new project by electroacoustic hurdy gurdy player ben grossman on music and myself on visuals and some digital sound.  we had our world premiere @ the festival and it went great.  some photos are here, and i will be posting video soon.

there will be much more activity in the field, so stay tuned.

for those of you in toronto, you can catch me @ dusk dances in withrow park august 3-8 @ 7pm.  i will be performing again with the inimitable peter chin/tribal crackling wind, with dancers kate holden and yves candau.

much more coming.  here are some photos from the field in st john’s, newfoundland:
