On Friday, I'm planning on attending this show at Bella Dubby, featuring as they put it, about 80% DIY electronic instruments (the only non-DIY instrument being the one guy's guitar). In theory, the show is supposed to end "early"(I'm guessing no later than 10:00-10:30pm), and I'm not terribly interested in the companion show at the Tower 2012 ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, Лев Сергеевич Термен.

February 29th: Lakewood, OH - The Secret Gig (ok, it's not really a gig, but it's fun to call something "The Secret Gig"). Maybe it's a release party for my RPM Challenge album?

April 4-6: Cleveland, OH - Notacon 5 - Circuit bending workshop, maybe ( Read more... )

Okay, so when I previously said four, I meant six.

Yeah. I was poking at an actual demo over the weekend. For Mac OS X and/or Linux. I don't suppose either of those platforms can be made available for the competition? It's so far a number of OpenGL scenes with a tracked soundtrack (Yay for GLFW and libminifmod!). I'm not necessarily aiming to win ( Read more... )
