coming soon….

UPDATE: where you are has been featured in both weekly arts magazines in toronto!  click here for the eye weekly mini interview (scroll about halfway down for where you are).  click here for the excellent writeup about the piece in now magazine (the piece is at the bottom of the page):

Next to smell, sound often gives us the most powerful sense of time and place. Debashis Sinha puts callers in two cities at once: any reveller walking through Zone B need only call 1-888-432-5995 to hear audio art pieces constructed from sounds recorded on the streets of Kolkata , India. Sinha’s piece accentuates the odd transpositions of time and space constantly foisted upon us by telecommunications and media. Walk around with both sides of your mind on opposite sides of the planet.

see  you @ nuit blanche

nuit blanche coming up–live and installation

nuit blanche is fast approaching and i am busily navigating the web interface for the cell phone piece that i am presenting (see the nuit blanche website for details).  also that evening i will be performing (solo+, 9pm) at the music gallery where a whole slew of some of toronto’s best improvisers and sound experiementers will be performing throughout the night, including ima ensemble members ben grossman (7pm), and andrew downing (10pm).  the whole evening will be mixed in 12 speaker surround by new adventures in sound arts AD darren copeland.  really, its the best way ever to start your evening.

see you there!
