[rout] & Okeanos
[rout] & Okeanos : This project brings together two opposing sound-worlds; the hard-edged amplified sound of [rout]; and Okeanos’ distinctive and subtle interleaving of Japanese and Western timbres.

The single-coil pick-ups of the Fender Stratocaster; the thirteen strings of the koto; the reeds of the Sho and the Saxophone; the bamboo of the shakuhachi and the kevlar of the electric violin are brought together in works by Yumi Hara Cawkwell, Paul Dibley, Nick Fells, Ryusuke Koarashi, Fumiko Miyachi, Paul Newland, Makiko Nishikaze, and Paul Whitty. The new works developed as part of the project will be premiered at the Sound and Music Cutting Edge Series 2009 on November 19th at The Warehouse, London.

Coercive Curatorial Computing and You
Cory Doctorow, the Canadian blogger, journalist and science-fiction author, argues in The Guardian that curated computing is no substitute for the personal and handmade. Although bespoke computing experiences promise a pipe dream of safety and beauty, the real delight, he says, lies in making your own choices.
“The only real reason to adopt coercive curation is to attain a monopoly over a platform - to be able to shut out competitors, extract high rents on publishers whose materials are sold in your store, and sell a pipe dream of safety and beauty that you can’t deliver, at the cost of homely, handmade, personal media that define us and fill us with delight.”
