Hi, things have been busy over the last couple of weeks, the Art>Harp Project is in full swing! I’ve finshed the first 20 artworks, with more to do still, so order up! Here’s a video of me making one of them. More info, pictures and the order form can be found by clicking here.
From August to December 2008, I am making a limited edition series of personalised, commissioned artworks, to earn the rest of the money needed to buy a harp. Each artwork is commissioned; you can choose what you would like painted, and then i paint it!
well, i’ve got a new favourite drum machine. its called glitchDS and it rocks. its a homemade piece of software for the nintendo ds and you can get it here! it’s like having an MPC in your pocket! yay.
i had the pleasure of conducting a monome and reaktor workshop yesterday, but not to your usual tech nerds and electronica buffs. the crowd was mainly over 40’s japanese women who conduct a lovely english speaking class in fukai.
after disappointing by not being able to play waltzing matilda on the monome, i got serious and we all rocked the beats, big time. this is the thank you note i got after the session:
‘Hello,Kris.
Thank you for all your work for us.
We could know the new way of music closely.
The drum beat was so nice!’
Needless to say, it was a great day out.

In other news, red plum and snow mixing is going well, and the harp is proving as troublesome as ever.
