We recently did an Interview with Ric Holland from Wacom Australia, discussing out music and the use of experimental interfaces for realtime electronic music performance.  You can see the interview and some pictures HERE

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.

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.
