Wednesday 10th March miniWofS at Huddersfield University including a performance of my most recent composition Monome Swirls and an untitled experiment by Adam Jansch.

Then I am performing at Interlace a series of concerts curated by Sebastian Lexer, Saturday the 13th March, Goldsmiths College London.

And as if that was not enough the latest inclusive improv podcast was just released 'WofS so far' presented by myself.

Going to be a busy week.

Currently working on a presentation about ChucK for some Max/MSP power users at the Huddersfield Uni GEMdays festival. Will be fun being the odd person out and there are a lot of other interesting presenters including,

• Oli Larkin will talk about some of his latest work, including new effects designs and externals.

• Alex Harker will discuss recent approaches to making complex and dynamic patches in MaxMSP - strategies include the development of reusable and reliable externals for MaxMSP.

• Dave Bessell will talk about convincing physical models for real time performance in Max/msp, with some illustrations from his piece Ophidian, for flute physical model.

• P.A. Tremblay will talk about his use of ftm-based concatenative synthesis (Diemo Schwartz's CataRT) in the design of his new laptop+bass instrument Sandbox#3.

and that was copied out of the email I was sent :)

Over today I have been helping on the ChucK manual sprint, a consorted effort to bring the ChucK documentation upto date.

Its always a challenge with a language still under development, to keep the documentation unto date.

And as is always the case I have picked up some more cool ChucK tricks.

You can find the manual (still under construction) here.

This summer the Huddersfield Experimental Laptop Orchestra (HELO) and the inclusive improv performed as part of the Sound and Music Leeds Expo.

Manchester based film maker Nathan Rae accompanied the groups and shot the camera work that is used within this documentary.
