‘normal’ blogging will hopefully resume soon. in the mean time, yet more links… GTG Synths Highway Bridges and Feasts: Heidegger and Borgmann on How to Affirm Technology Pop, art, and and Zizek Progress Audio Tiny Tiny RSS I’ve been so lost in music-making of late that I didn’t notice two big pieces of news from the end of last year, both of which Rock My World ™: WordPress 2.0 has been released (I’ll have to upgrade all of the Alias Frequencies blogs, probably after the Now now festival) and Kristin Hersh, one of my favourite singer/songwriters, has released a free online EP of music by her new band, 50 Foot Wave. bcontrol forum The catalogue of UK Entrances to Hell electro-music Electronic Music 411 Freeware 2005 VSTi/VST Roundup The Grey Commons – strategic considerations in the copyfight How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP KVR Audio SIR – Impulse Response Processor Inspector and InspectorXL Synthedit and SynthMaker Tech Talk with Exile theoria: Zizek! s0metim3s has given us her favourites of 2005. I wasn’t going to do this, but since I’m waiting for South Africa to be bowled out before I head out for the rest of the day… Favourites of 2005 I’ve restricted this to things that were published/screened or events that happened in 2005. Albums 50 Foot Wave – Golden Ocean It was mainly pop/rock for me this year – I even bought a guitar (which I still can’t play)! The sort of experimental music that I’d usually obsess over, this year I’d generally listen to once or twice before moving on. See Utility Fog for all the postfolkrocktronica that I should’ve been listening to. Blogs Too many – see the blog roll. It has been a privilege to have participated in the blog phenomenon and to have met so many amazing people. Extra love to those who have commented at, or linked to this humble blog. Films Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I didn’t go to the cinema nearly enough this year. Games Dragonshard Live Music Ben Byrne & Clayton Thomas @ Disorientation I also played live more often this year than any other. Highlights included a solo performance at the National Gallery of Australia for Liquid Architecture 6, Canberra; a technically disastrous but well-received set with WUAL for Liquid Architecture 6, Melbourne; better WUAL performances at Disorientation and Electrofringe; duo performances with Rik Rue (at if you like improvised music…), John Jacobs (at e)scapes) and Ben Byrne (twice, at the NOW now, and a VJ performance at Science Fiction); a solo performance at The Night Air Audiotheque; a solo performance and a Time Being DJ performance at Disorientation; performances with the Splinter Orchestra at Liquid Architecture 6, Sydney and Science Fiction. TV Arrested Development Thank goodness for broadband. What’s In / What’s Out What’s out: CDs What’s in: TEH INTERNETS! The Ars Technica Motherboard Guide The Aussie Wordpress Blog Improvisor Leiter Reports: Nietzsche etc. Nietzsche’s Moral and Political Philosophy Six Re-Views of Chris Marker: The Art of Memory Anarchism and Political Theory Anarchism, or the Revolutionary Movement of the Twenty First Century Blogging for Independent Artists and Creatives The Chappelle Theory EFF’s Jason Schultz explains how Sony BMG is about to be so pwned! Minimalist menace: The Necks score The boys Vidomi The Visionary Art of Luke Brown this year has had a cumulative *weight*, culminating in recent events in sydney (and the blogosphere, etc.) which all but silenced me. i almost deleted this blog a few days ago, feeling that i have nothing to say, especially when everyone else seems to be saying so much. listening is what i do best, but the relentless cacophony can be overwhelming. in such circumstances it is normal for me to retreat into my own private space. but today feels relatively peaceful. the sun is shining and there is a cool breeze. i’ll be spending the evening with dear friends with whom i always have great conversation. perhaps my voice is returning… |
