This Friday ( 7/08) at Kung Fu Necktie under Philly’s fabulous Blue line El tracks: The wall of sound you’ve been waiting for!

Pointcloud, Speed Skating, & Music for Headphones. Though getting out-of-genre & playing with these bands has been one of the high-points of the year, it looks like this could be my last Fishtown show for the near future.  I’ll be re-locating to the wilds of central PA, where musicians & visualists hide among the trees, with their MacBook Pros balanced on their knees and … ok, maybe it’s not that remote. We’ll see!

Needless to say; I’ll miss playing in dark places under the El tracks! See you there!

This month’s show on July 2nd will include Tony Ness, syl|CMYK, L-Tron… and, oh… yeah gwEm!

Doors at 7:30pm.. The door is to the right of those trashcans Google Maps street-view is so lovingly immortalizing for us. See you in Brooklyn!

As part of Philly Tech Week, I’ll be performing at PhilaMoca on Thursday, April 28 @ 7:30pm.

This show includes music by an0va,  Chipocrite & Philly fab favorites:  Cheap Dinosaurs! This show’s presented by 8static, Third Generation and PhilaMOCA and begins with an early panel/presentation.

I hope to premier some of my latest work (wonder why I’ve been in the cave so long?) at this show.  Most notably, my first live-coding performance!

These virtual designs can be viewed starting today from any GPS & Camera endowed phone running   Apple’s iOS or Android OS. To view it, you’ll need to download a free app from your respective app store called “Layar” and search for “VBLANK” or “VBLANK Graffiti.”

You’ll have to be in the Philadelphia area to see them, and need to be near 8Static for the full parade. More planned to coincide with future visual exhibitions & shows.

This series is only viewable when the viewer breathes on the mirrored surface of each image. Despite a very 1880’s look, these devices are packed with microcontroller goodness.

This dark series, and images from two more of my “dead-technology” sets will be on display Friday the 1st through the end of the month. The party is on this end starting at 6pm

Info and directions Here!

I will be spending July 16-18 at the Next Hope conference in NYC.

At the top of the todo list? 3 days of wall-to-wall talks by some of the worlds most recognized hackers, and digerati. Oh yeah, and 2 nights of blow-out concerts!

While I’m not spraying video on the walls of the Video Temple, I’ll most likely be found demoing kits and giving impromptu workshops in the Hacker Village’s rendition of Philly’s Hacktory.

Way too much info at the Hope website, so I’ll leave you to them…

The Weekend of October 9-11 is P A C K E D with must-hear goodness in Philly.

Saturday night is the -O N E – Y E A R  – A N N I V E R S A R Y of  8STATIC!! and as if you were thinking about going to sleep…. The party continues down the street at PI LAM, with an all-night all-ages show to kill off any remaining chiptune-deprived. Anamanaguchi, minusbaby ENSO on projection, and DJ Billy W. of Kungfu Necktie’s Robotique fame (itself a recent 1-year institution).

If you’re not sleeping for those unaccounted-for 5 hours on Friday night, you may have time for Design Philly, Philadelphia Open Studios (POST) or Swap-o-rama-rama. hmmm.

I’ll also be running the visuals booth all night at 8static with special effects requests for Lissajou, DOS goodness for Disasterpeace, and watching the  self generated video and music of Jeff “noteNdo” Donaldson.
