Photos from my latest commission in Manchester for the Futuresonic festival.
a Locative media based installation - enabling the online world with an offline
presence.

The project worked on numerous levels - from the free distribution of earplugs
within many of Futuresonics evening performances, to the installed pre fabricated
sound units visibly present around the festival. By far the best location was on
Oldham Street above the shop front of Bambers Art Space ran by Mark Kennedy.
And the end of the project the global web counter read +13000 hits, thats potentially
over 13000 sonic sounds emitted throughout the festival over the three days!
a great success, that will be once again exhibited at F.City in Lancaster this September.

Circuit bending with colleague Matt Kane Green at the Stills Gallery open day in Edinburgh, demonstrating different
hardware hacking techniques and how to interface circuit bent instruments with computers and micro controllers.
Participants are able to have a computer control the sound of their chosen instrument interface and be able to use
their instrument with midi sequencers and games controllers via max/msp to make music. This workshop is easy to
understand, for greater involvement the user does require some computer knowledge. Also explained was how the
same skills could be used to generate and control video pieces, as seen in the works 'TAO JOYSTICK' and 'MARRAKATTAK'.
