Current Projects
Currently looking at a project to utlise Web and PD integration. Also Processing and PD with Processing.js and openFrameworks also. This is old ground mixed with unfamiliar territory for me and have been testing and researching hard to find solutions to integrating them with each other.

Krust / psuedo George Kurtz
A fresh EP from Krust’s alter ego George Kurtz is being released in 2011. I have currently been working on the stems of this EP to create a reactive version of it to co-incide with release through RJDJ. After multiple discussions of new performative techniques through new technologies such as reactive music/iphones etc in discussion with Krust about creating a bespoke setup for him to move away from the traditional turntables, perhaps two iPads instead?!?!

After meeting Imogen’s sound engineer/producer at Music Hackday London I began conversation with Imogen about a a geo-location based RJDJ project to coincide with the release of her project “Love the Earth” DVD. This should be later in the year July 2011
