This new international performance technology conference will kick off as part of next year's Sonorities Festival of Contemporary Music and will take place at the Sonic Arts Research Center in Belfast: www.qub.ac.uk/sonorities.

The conference will bring together, for the first time, performers, composers, academics and thinkers, as well as every one else who feels outside those categories, in order to discuss a wide variety of topics on performances that are informed by new technologies.

The conference is planned for Saturday, the 29th of April 2006 at SARC in Belfast for just one day with paper sessions in the morning and the afternoon, with two keynote speakers, a lunchtime performance and a free evening concert for registered conference guests featuring Fred Frith with the Ulster Orchestra.

Further information on the conference will be posted in December 2005 on the SARC website: www.sarc.qub.ac.uk.

Ferrari

Presque rien demeure, sauf l'intensité sonore Ferrarien!

Luc Ferrari died on the 22nd of August 2005:
It is with great disbelief and shock that I take in the sad news...

I only recently had the opportunity to talk to him and to hear his works live at the 2005 Sonorities Festival in Belfast.
He was so easy to talk to,
always had a smile on his face
and I felt very privileged to hear his music live.
My thoughts go to Brunhild.

Contemporary Music Review

I am currently guest editing an issue on the body and the instrument for the Contemporary Music Review Journal (Routledge).
An exciting piece of work, which has attracted lots of interest.
So, keep your eyes peeled; there will be some great articles to read soon!

Come and talk to me there...

Watch out for the virtual performance that I intend to stage there with the
