Back from Sound Summit/This Is Not Art, and what an amazing experience it was. Lots of chats with Keith Whitman (aka Hrvatski, current electronica king in my opinion - read his “pithy summaries” here), DJing after the Fat Cat Daves, who played awesome sets and enjoyed mine, as did Hrvatski - and Keith played an absolutely awesome laptop set before. More distorted amazingly programmed beats than you can poke a stick at, ooooooohhh…
And that was just Sunday night! Not to mention Stinky Jim, wonderful dub producer/DJ from New Zealand, who runs Round Trip Mars records… lovely conversations with him too. So many promo CDs shoved at me, and gave various important people (see above etc) copies of Digital Manipulation…

Some excellent forums (I was on one with folks from Creative Vibes (*koff*) and Inertia, Mark from Synaesthesia in Melbourne (easily the best record store in Australia), and Ben Frost from Big Star in Adelaide (undoubtedly one of the next-best)… talking about independent distribution (or trying to talk over Heidi’s platitudes…) - got some nice comments from people about what I had to say.)
And went to a great laptop production workshop by Keith Hrvatski, Paul Pimmon, Nigel from Cindii, and the excellent Jeremy Yuille from Melbourne as well…

Just some of the highlights! Wowowowow.
