Hi everyone
As I have access to more than one Capybara/Kyma system I am selling my Capybara/Kyma 320 with 12 processors and the flame firewire interface on eBay. This is the synthesis system I use for all my realtime work - it is an amazing system, clean sound, fast to work with and interfaces easily with the WiiController, Wacom Tablet, Motormix etc and also talk OSC, timecode and MIDI
Electric Gongs - an experimental music installation
The use of electyromagnets to excite these gongs provide a bow like responce which allows people to play particular pitches - looks like great fun
This Create Digital Music » iPod Touch/iPhone for Music Round-up shows an extraordinary range of music performance software coming out for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It is not entirely surprising as they include the same base OS frameworks as a full blown Mac - ie. Core Audio and Audio Units. It makes for an interesting future of micro-bands
We have a new CD titled Surface, Texture, Line, coming out this month, just in time for our Australian New Music Network concert at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music on Saturday September 27 at 6:30PM. You can book tickets online or purchase them at the door.

Love these kits from Bleep labs - the thingamagoop is a small one led performance instrument for electronic sounds, glitchy blips etc
They also have a thingamakit which is a 2 LED performance interface, but you need to build it yourself, so being handy with a soldering iron will help

Sonogram Visible Speech is a very cool visualisation program for producing 3D sonograms. It is developed by Christoph Lauer and runs in Java and is cross platform.
The Australasian Computer Music Conference (ACMC 2008) is happening at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music - The University of Sydney this week - Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Michael Atherton and I (SYNC) are performing a new work for electric guitar and live electronics on Friday night and on Saturday night I am playing a new work for flute and live electronics, titled Fue Sho which I wrote for the Aurora Festival earlier in the year.
A special guest of the conference is Robert Normandeau, one of my favorite electroacoustic composers.
I recommend you check out the Concert Program and come and listen to all the great music. There are day time and night time concerts.
