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

YEHHH for Dr BLEEP

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.
