Inspired by da Twoop, here's a list of what's been happening, complete with appropriate (or maybe even inappropriate) links.

For starters, most of my blogging has been here. There's thoughts on shows, life stuff, and even an article on the death of Banter/3.1.

So, with that phase of the Banter Cycle done, what's next? Something Like Banter & the Cybernetic Inevitable All-Stars. I began work on a show called Horses changed my life, which was/is a fully integrated performance (music, film, theatre) based on a found object. However..

My Mac crashed. Hard drive failure. As of this writing, I'm still not sure what percentage of that show, and oh, the last year's worth of work, might only exist on that hard drive. I stand to lose a lot of work, but..

...the fact that this has forced me to use my old pc as a music machine has had some benefits.

First is the fact that this machine has a very nice sound system on it. Which, although awkward, I consider portable. Meaning that not only is my studio listening environment improved, but that will be used live as well. To that end, CockSlap has been having virtual rehersals, building an interactive machine to be played* by the audience. *details available at performance**, **details to follow

Another benefit is that I'm in the mode of teaching Pro Tools, so this is forcing me to deal with the tool in the pc environment. Plus, 8's coming out in time for the hollandaise, and while it may not be wise to put all my eggs in this basket, I think there's a fair chance that Santa's gonna bring me Pro Tools 8 for xxxmas.

Alright, well I seem to have drifted from news to musings so I'll bid you farewell..
