Some nice Monday listening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrGL...
I made this a long time ago, but was just reminded of it over the weekend. Hope you enjoy.
just a reminder-> its Bandcamp Friday so there isn't a better day to go have a listen to all the stuff I have up at coreofthecoalman.bandcamp.com
More than 20 years of sound explorations.
I would invite the curious to have a listen to the recordings on my bandcamp site which, in fact, go back 20 years, with one new album every so often. If you buy things off of here this Friday, I get to keep most of the money, which is also helpful:

All about what it is to communicate, or to know anything at all, emerging from a discussion of my new data-sonification-spatial-sound-installation-compositions.

Its Bandcamp Friday! What better time to go have a listen to my new tape Kilometric Chameleon POV over at the Core of the Coalman bandcamp page: coreofthecoalman.bandcamp.com

you can also write to the members of the executive board (the people responsible for firing our lectures and colleagues) here: www.ncl.ac.uk/executive/ex...
Newcastle University lecturers are being faced with unnecessary redundancies and made to pay for years of mismanagement enacted by a bloated bureaucracy containing some who make almost £400,000 pounds a year.

I've got a little piece (a version of my piece 'Cartesian Birds'!) in this wonderful exhibition curated by Shelly Knotts that opens this Friday at The NewBridge Project here in Newcastle! Opening is Friday 5-8 then exhibition runs until April 17.
Richard Scott and I are Water Lattice and our second show w/ new piece for two violas is MONDAY NIGHT in Central Bar, Gateshead. Also performing, the reverictic Jon Collin, the diaristic ferric spread of Red Brut, and the sonic topographies of Pinnel!. Come over: wp.me/p22xGR-IZ
Bohmans have arrived and the show goes on! All logistical deets in final photo. Unfortunately Wild Rani is stuck because of the storm, but Posset is rumoured to be filling in. Get down to Central Bar. Its not that windy here. In fact the air could use some more vigourous movement.
