Limbo

Limbo (aka Neon Tetra, aka Liam Brennand) out of Regina is doing some amazing things with computers. He definitely deserves some attention for his musical abilities.

Here is a link to to some of his Limbo based music ...

The Pool

Dear reader,

This blog has been inactive since the end of 2007. There is still a need for a gathering area such as this and it has been itching at my brain to get this started again.

So, to restart, I thought I would post some my music that I was actually making around the time this blog was active.  The album is called "Meme Theory" and you can download the whole album for FREE if you go to the site here. Enjoy.  More to come.

Call: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 7a*11d International Performance Art Festival
Date: Submissions due January 15, 2008; Source: 7a*11d Collective

This is the call for submissions for 7a*11d's 7th International Festival of Performance Art in 11 years, taking place in Toronto from October 22 ñ November 2, 2008. Organized by an unincorporated non-profit group of artists, 7a*11d presents a series of performance art events and artist projects in a festival setting. Our purpose is to offer a professional showcase for new and progressive performance
art works. Artist organizers will select emerging and established artists of the highest quality from around the world that showcase the breadth and depth of performance art as a genre. We pay artist fees and try to subsidize travel, but please note that our budget is limited and not adequate to support troupes or companies.

PLUS:
D2D Direct to Documentation: A video program of performance documentation. Can't come to the Festival? We still want to see your work! Send us an edited tape [five minutes or less on NTSCVHS, Hi-8,
mini-DV, CD or DVD] of your performance documentation or performance for camera. (No PAL or SECAM tapes, please!) Selected tapes will be curated into a screening program. Artist fees will be paid
for those selected for screening.

There is going to be an art opening this June 7th from 6pm to 9pm at OUT OF THIS WORLD BOOKs on the Scarth St. mall in Regina.

Guidewire(a.k.a me) will be making and playing some tunes.
and everything in the store will be 10% off.

Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Derek's work. But, his paintings are wild, abstract and worth a look.

Radio Roam by Eleanor King & Stephen Kelly
Radio Art Salon curated by Darren Copeland

Recline in an alternate sounding universe in 50's style hair salon
chairs transformed into radio art listening lounges. Running for the
entire month of May, the Radio Art Salon includes a program of radio
art works curated by Darren Copeland that includes contributions from
Resonance FM in the UK, from Kunstradio in Austria (sponsored by
the Austria Cultural Forum) and content drawn from the Deep Wireless
international call for submissions on the theme of Trans-X.

Radio Roam is a radio transmission installation work. It uses many
radios installed in the gallery space, each tuned to a different
frequency on the FM dial. A variable transmitter sends out an audio
signal and automatically changes the broadcasting frequency based on
motion activity within the space. The audio signal "jumps" from
one radio to another, creating a surround sound experience for the
gallery visitor. It is intended that the transmitted audio blend with
the bleed from other high power FM stations, to create an ever changing
collage of radio sounds, in real time.
