 The Coffeejam Collective I busted out my Wii controller and some Max patches for a fun afternoon of sound synthesis at Degroovia Guitars in DeKalb. It was part of a monthly series of performances hosted by my long-time friend and musician, Byron Wise. *photos by Toni Close http://burningcicada.com/coffeejam 
Disposable Rocket Band @Heavy My, my, my how the gigs at St. Joe's in Albany have grown since Chip Fasciana and I put together Obsequi back in 2007. I happened to be in Albany this week so it was only natural to get back on the rocketship and rock out with Disposable Rockets Mat Kane and Rachelle Smith-Stallman. Some press from the gig: nippertown -

 NIU School of Art displays I've been teaching at NIU's School of Art for the past year and they asked me to design/program a calendar/announcement/slide show for the displays hanging in their hallways. The logo and background were designed by Ola Giza. Later this year, I might add some Kurt Ralske inspired abstractions for it...  Midwest Museum of Natural History Touchscreens Beginning in February I began redesigning two interactive kiosks for the Midwest Museum of Natural History in Sycamore, IL. The museum has a large display of mounted animals divided into North American and African exhibits - with a touchscreen kiosk devoted to each. With my friend and photographer Jeremy Schulz we began by photographing the animals. I then spent the majority of my free time for 3 months building out the interactive screens using Flash and Actionscript 3. Each kiosk has an "about" page, animal descriptions, habitat and conservation maps, and an interactive quiz game. As of June, the kiosks are working and on display, but I will likely be making adjustments to the design and code for a few more weeks... Please visit this unique museum.  Tele-Colonization released on Deep Listening Telematic Circle Tintinnabulate Ensemble - Pauline Oliveros, Director SoundWIRE Ensemble - Chris Chafe, Director A group improvisation based on a music concept and adaptive sound scapes by Jonas Braasch with video design by Bart Woodstrup, Tele-Colonization is a compositional concept for a semistructured group improvisation for two or more co-located ensembles. It was recorded during the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) in Montreal on June 26, 2007, where the work was performed by two ensembles: Tintinnabulate and SoundWIRE. The main site was located in Tanna Schulich Hall at McGill University. Members of the Tintinnabulate ensemble performed in Montreal under the guidance of Pauline Oliveros. Three remote /site/sites contributed to the concert: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with members from Tintinnabulate, Stanford University and KAIST in Seoul, South Korea. The SoundWIRE ensemble, directed by Chris Chafe, performed at the latter two locations.
