some stuff I am doing now. update. robot II. etc.

The Art in Motion show went off as planned. What a wonderful experience.

I have about a week before I'm performing my robot work in front of people @ Spoke the Hub. Luckily, my robot works and stuffz. I am getting wheels to build another one tomorrow... THEN... I think I will do the 'final' soldering... can't perform with a breadboard... can you?

I think I might implement some membrane drum models or something... but maybe later.

I am going to ASU officially and it is mostly funded, so that is good.

I have park permits for the ExiTrip performance... and performers lined up...

A tap dancer might perform 'in which...' which(!) would complete one of my goals for the beginning of this blog... (ha). If that comes to pass, I'll prob. also try to get the origami piece played, maybe by the same ensemble... (including me)

Started working on a music + architecture proposal with an architect whom I met during tango...

I don't have a huge to-do list besides the obv. for my performance in a week. I have to do some work on the proposal for next week... Then, the to-do for ExiTrip... (prob. need to come up with an actual name for the piece)..

Just kind of working steadily...

catch up

So it is looking very likely that I am going to ASU, for the Music Composition DMA with a specialization in Digital Media and Performance...

It also looks likely that I've got a residency in Nebraska this December: Kimmel Harding Center for the Arts. Yay, maybe! I got an email asking me if I could switch dates. The dates are during finals (for ASU) in December, but I said yes: hoping that I can finish things early, etc.

I have the dance performance in two weeks-ish so rehearsals are eating up more time... Art in Motion..

I have an performance for my new robot at the end of the month, so I really need to get cracking on it. I am meeting with 3 people this week to see the bicycles/bicycle wheels. Once I get those, I can really start working. I need to hurry up on it.

I still need to book the ExiTrip project... emailed The Tank but have not heard back. (GAH). Thinking about having the performance in a public park...(need to apply ASAP) may send CV/portfolio to Issue Project Room just in case its not too late (have nothing to lose, right?). Need to get on THAT soon, as well.


So:
1. Art in Motion
2. ROBOT!
3. ExiTrip!!

It looks like my subway project is prob. caput.. Maybe I will just start recording my actual travels instead. Hmm... could be a good idea.
