Apr 2011

I went to SouthBank for the Ether festival the other night and caught two very inspiring performances by Anna Meredith and James Blake (among others).

blog  A Space Odyssey Live with Philharmonia Orchestra.

Apr 2011

I went to the SouthBank Centre the other night to see Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey performed live with the Philharmonia Orchestra. It was extraordinary—almost moving, even though I've seen the movie a dozen times already!

blog  Ryoji Ikeda.

Nov 2010

Last week I discovered the work of Ryoji Ikeda [official site] and soon got hooked up by it. It's kind of strange because if I just listen to the songs without watching the videos that accompany them, they often bore me after a minute or so (with the exception of songs such as data.matrix, or test pattern [[ a really cool live performance of latter at Barcelona's Sonar festival can be found here)

blog  Jeff Beck live at the Royal Albert Hall.

Oct 2010

Quite an amazing evening with Beck rocking the RAH out the other night; the man is well over 60 (born 24 June 1944) but still performs with great confidence and inventiveness. I loved every minute of it!

blog  PLOrk @=> Spring 2010 Concert.

Jun 2010

I just watched online a number of very inspiring performances from the the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk), as part of the their recent Spring Concert. I usually do livecoding on my own, so I'm really impressed by the results an enseble of livecoders can get!
