On Saturday, April 16 I will give a talk about the World Listening Project and give a performance at the CIT Cork School of Music. Pauline Oliveros will also be performing telematically from the US with John Godfrey. On Sunday at 12 p.m. I lead a soundwalk workshop in Cork.
Just Listen is a sound art event initiated by the National Sculpture Factory that will unfold across various venues and sites across Cork and Limerick through April 2011. Just Listen will include installations, performances, talks, workshops events and concerts. Invited artists include: David Toop, Anne Bean, Pauline Oliveros, Michael Prime, Eric Leonardson, Stephen Vitiello, John Godfrey, Sabine Breitsameter, and Nicolas Collins. Just Listen was curated by Danny McCarthy and Sean Taylor.
“one of the 87 videos on the accompanying DVD to the second edition of Nicolas Collins’s book, Handmade Electronic Music - The Art of Hardware Hacking, published by Routledge in 2009. This 1-minute video was shot and edited by Gretchen Hasse from the original Gearwire.com video interviews about the Springboard.”
This evening I uploaded a 5-minute video about the springboard to my youtube account. I made it two years ago with Gretchen Hasse. Please use this link to view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id0MDuHX1hY
The new edition of my book, Handmade Electronic Music – The Art of Hardware Hacking, is out! Lots of new circuits and illustrations, more examples of artists’ designs, and a DVD with 87 1-minute video clips by hackers from all over the globe, as well as a series of step-by-step video tutorials by me.
Here’s a little reminder: on Saturday, May 2, at 3PM Quimby’s Bookstore (1854 W. North Avenue) is hosting a book release party. I’ll screen some video, sign books, and the Chicago Symphacking Orchestra (CSO) will perform. See http://www.quimbys.com/.
