Craig and I were chatting on new year's eve, bemoaning the fact that we haven't felt particularly musically-creative of late. So we decided that we'd do something together. I felt that a more loose, improvised thing would be good to do (in the past, my live performances have always had a certain improvised nature to them - tracks are broken down into their component parts, fed into some sort of sequencer and then 'mashed up' live).
So anyway, after two rehearsals (which ended up being pretty different in their musical output), we have our first gig.

... how many people who are currently bleating about their photographs being misappropriated from flickr are/were quite happy downloading music without paying for it?
Just asking.

Just in case you're a last.fm user, just a note to say that I've uploaded the 2003 release 'Available from Namke Communications' (originally released on Leeds' Fencing Flatworm label) up to namke communications' last.fm page - also available there is the 2003 single 'ice-9'
Let me know what you think - leave comments ;-)

I've just come back from my local camera club ('York photographic society') where we had an 'exhibition' - actually a couple of CD-roms of prizewinning entries to a couple of competitions. The first was the FIAP: " FIAP 23rd Colour Slide Biennial 2004". Now, Ok, this is a few years old now but I thought it might be interesting.
Wrong.

Over the next week or so I will jumping onto the bandwagon currently being driven by Radiohead (but following on the heels of such net-label luminaries as Kikapu, Hippocamp, and phonocake), and will be making some of my music available for free download from this site. Higher-quality versions of the EPs will still be available on CDr (at a price of course).

I've started selling up some of my accumulated clutter in order to buy some stuff I actually want. My list (currently) is:
- Fender Jazzmaster guitar
- Ebow
- Some form of digital SLR
- A decent photo printer (A3+)
Of course, this is all going to take some time, and may require the shedding of a lot of stuff...

My creative side has been gradually becoming more and more bipolar:
On one side, I love new technology - whether it be digital video captured from a camcorder; pure computer graphics created in Blender/Quartz Composer; or simply digital stills caught from my PowerShot; or on the audio side perhaps some new softsynths or plugin effects running within Logic.
