Two items of interest for the New York crowd, and I know there are a few of you.� First of all, at the CMC we are starting a monthly evening of laptop/electronic performance called F�n Nite.� The first one is Thursday.� See the press release below.� If its not fun, its poorly named, so come out and join the fun!� Second, I am starting a radio show at WKCR very soon and I'd like it to focus on live studio performances.� If you are interested in joining me in the studio, email me off list and I'll have you on.
Press release:
This coming Thursday evening (March 1) marks the inaugural event in a monthly meeting devoted to informal performance and discussion of laptop improvisation in the New York area.� We're calling these "CMC f�n nites" and our intention is to provide a dorkbot-like forum for artists and musicians involved in technological improvisation.� This first event will feature performances and talk by:
