Just a quick notice that I’m performing this Saturday
as part of the “7 Things” curation at Huddersfield
Contemporary Music Festival. I’m in the Festival Hub
at the LBT at 10pm
(http://www.hcmf.andymayer.net/modules/amevent/?fct=vieweventinfo&id=5)
following a whole host of great artists that day (John
Butcher and Keith Rowe amongst others.) My set will
involve live electronics with a fair bit of field
recordings (more than my recent works anyway.) It’d be
great to see some list folks in person (and I think
it’s free!)
Also, for those of you holding out till the last
second for the SoundAsArt conference in Aberdeen, it’s
coming next weekend (Nov 24, 25, and 26). We had to
move rooms due to the demand (we’re expecting over 100
now) but we still have about 30 seats left. It’s free
of course but you do need to register to secure a
space (which you can do here:
http://soundasart.urbannovember.org/)
In case you’ve missed the hype, the conference will
feature talks, performances, soundwalks, and
installations by artists, performers, and writers from
all over the world (India, Germany, France, Italy, the
States, and the UK just to name a few) including
Ginacarlo Toniutti, Keith Rowe, Christina Kubisch,
Jonty Harrison, Rajesh Mehta, Rohan de Saram, Pete
Stollery, Tony Whitehead, James Wyness, myself and
many others.
Anyway, it’d be great to meet a few more list members
at the conference. If you’re coming let me know and I
may be able to save you some money concerning
accommodation. Otherwise key events will be webcast
live on 360TV
(http://www.peacockvisualarts.com/digital-home/360TV)
and I’ll be posting the times and events next week
sometime as well as posting it on the urbanNovember
website..
Thanks if you’ve made it this far (and apologies for
the cross postings…)
Bill
ps…The SoundAsArt event is free thanks to the
generous support by Aberdeen City Council, University
of Aberdeen, College of Art and Social Sciences,
School of Education, and sound, the North East
Scotland’s Contemporary Music Festival.
