Well said.

Steve, Jim, and Tony, when Steve's studio was still in his house on N. Francisco Ave. -- live room in the basement, control room in the attic.

Poor aul Steve Albini. What an incredible musician, songwriter, producer & advocate. His ‘sound’ is embedded in my psyche - been with me since I was 9 years old. His attitude to navigating the music industry was inspirational. This is a tough one. Condolences to his pals & family

Many people I know use iPads solely to turn pages whilst playing acoustic instruments…

Was really quite something to catch superhuman performance from Zubin Kanga in the National Concert Hall this evening. Stellar works from himself & Dr Laura Bowler (Wells) with a dazzling 2001: A Space Odysseyesque new piece from Alexander Schubert… cyborgsoloists giveth yet again… fair play

Toi toi toi to my main man Joe Cutler for this new work!

On Friday I’m giving a talk/hosting a chat for the CMC Ireland on collaborative composition. I will draw on some of my own work and the practices of Sol LeWitt, Fluxus, and the AACM to start a conversation. All welcome!

Retweeting this cause it’s still true, and in-fact worse…

Looking forward to seeing Zubin Kanga play tomorrow in National Concert Hall Dublin tomorrow. If you’re in town, head along!

Suggestions for contemporary composers using samples/samplers (& if possible breakbeats). Loads of Hip Hop/ tech based ones & of course the pioneer of music concrete, El-Dabh (hello black erasure). Goebbels, C. Stone, Steen-Andersen, Lizée, Nobuto, G. Prokofiev. Any more? Thx!

On Tuesday at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, I'm premiering Alexander Schubert's Steady State. Featuring brain sensors from ANT Neuro controlling music and visuals. A future-retro combination of a science experiment, a mysterious ritual and a rave.
