Richard Barrett in a talk with Sarah Mohr-Pietsch about his new piece

I'm not such a fan of Minsky and the AI program he is part of. But then again I'm a (non-practicing) neuroscientist. :)

I don't really get isaac's programme - to me it is another factor analytic approach like most attempts at tagging. I can't see how it helps music criticism other than setting down a limited set of ...

I am a fan of user testing in the arts - you've got a clear goal for who you'd like to play your work and working with those people to find a way for that to succeed makes complete sense to me.

I wouldn't contrast intuition and intelligence so strongly - it doesn't seem supported unless you think of intelligence as a mode of description ie the ability to describe the process whereby an outcome was achieved. Intuition seems to me a partic...

Greg: I appreciate your dry humor and in trying to outdo your irony I may have accidently strayed into something actually useful - life is full of risks, I guess. Even without mass transit, cell phones have allowed concerts to suddenly break out ...

lol on the dancers - but the original idea was an ironic comment on my inability to generate much of an audience at all. ie I might as well play my stuff at the lights with the windows wound down. In particular I was thinking of my bandcamp site a...

The more I think of it the better your Strassbahn concert sounds. It would be a really fun party.

sounds very pleasant Paul - I would love to do such a concert. Australia is conservative and conformist rather than refined. and I was only joking in my comment - I shuold have put a smiley up - I thought it was a good idea too, although it is il...

Greg: Well Australia is obviously too refined for such a concept to work. Actually in Bremen, Germany it is considered fashionable to hire a Strassbahn (streetcar) for an evening and you and 20 firends can scoot all over town while drinking as muc...

This rings true to most artists I think and is not at all inconsistent with being pleased when others like what we have done.

comes across to me as yet another crank trotting out the same old same old misinformation that's been shown to be rubbish over and over again.

suburban concert series and audience development

As part of my audience development programme I shall be driving around the local suburbs and playing my music at a reasonable volume with the windows wound down. In particular I will be seeking audiences at stop lights, although people walking through the suburbs will also be able to get a brief listen as I drive slowly by. If this concert series is successful I will open it up to other composers and performers.

Danny Boy

There's been a bit of popular song up here lately so I dug up this old version of Danny Boy for found singer and signal processing.
Takes a while to get going.

an old improv

I found this trawling my hardrives for files to delete. It's a duet with Eugene Carchesio on sax (and bumping into a cymbal :) ) and me on guitar. Free improv, there might be an overdub of guitar drone, but maybe not. Either way it was mainly played straight out as a duet and recorded live at my house. Or at least that's how I remember a session from about 20 years ago :)… Continue

more field recordings



The sound of English seagulls. Australian seagulls are not like this. Our pigeons are however the same. There is a nice fly-by at the start. Good for headphones.
recorded in Brighton, England.

also the long version of brighton fireworks is there as well

I shall be using the "orphans" album for all sorts of field recordings Continue
