Greetings,

This past week has had the music technology and composition students perform their works in various ways. The first years had a listening lounge; a continuous loop where one could come and listen as they pleased. The second years produced installations, ranging from an array of old speakers run by tape decks in a stairwell, to walking around with a fish bowl on your head. The third years (Aletheia) did a live streaming performance with RMIT from the other side of the country. It was a very interesting performance. I had the task of controlling the mixer and many of the technical sides of the performance. While other third years were contributing to the audio stream with their various choice of instrument eg clarinet, synth, guitar, laptop. I have a recording of the night which I will upload once I have combined the streams.

Wednesday night just gone, I did a solo performance with the Doom patch once again. I thought I would take advantage of the space and acoustics of the KK Gallery. The piece started off rather uncontrollably, but I managed to get it together and produced some rather, demonic sounds. That recording will be uploaded soon to the downloads page.

But today! A revelation has occurred. The Doom patch is no longer a static entity, the Doom patch is now abstracted and can be arranged and manipulated allowing me to create many streams that loop into each other and wherever I would like to send them. This is a great step as this combines the melodic qualities of the Machine patch with the feedback/chaotic qualities of the Doom patch. Ultimately this allows me to do what I do in both of those patches, with one freeform abstraction. It is also going to be of awesome help when I've created my feedback chambers.

That is all
