Have a look at the new blog by Sarah Mann-O’Donnell. “Sarah’s Sound Script” blog is an online venue for her poetic writings on sound. Sarah is a philosopher and poet who writes about sound. She’s a newcomer from Philadelphia.

I met Sarah Mann-O’Donnell at two of my concerts last week, and she wrote about:

Monday’s concert at Elastic with Carol Genetti

…and:

Friday’s concert at AV-aerie with Eric Glick Rieman.

I shared the bill with The Young Equestrians and Fred Lonberg-Holm, whom Sarah also wrote about.

This weekend I’m attending the 7th annual Radio Without Boundaries conference on Radio & Transmission Art in Toronto.

Among the participating artists and producers are Tetsuo Kogawa (Japan), Chris Brookes (Can), Jared Weissbrot (USA), Trademark G (USA), Chantal Dumas (Can), Anna Friz (Can), Andreas Kahre (Can), Peter Courtemanche (Can), Damiano Pietropaolo, and Neil Sandell (Can).

The performances and talks begin Friday evening, May 30th and are streamed live on free103point9.org’s Transmission Art Radio. Use this for the online stream. All this continues through Sunday, June 1st. Visit the Radio Without Boundaries website for the schedule. I plan on participating in the Micro Radio and Text and Sound workshops, using the blog format of this web page to report on what I learn, so please come back and have a look and listen.
