I started a NEW BLOG! After a 3-year hiatus, when my writing took a more coherent and focused turn for Viator... It feels like time to celebrate the rambling tangential entirely ungrammatical wordplay in my own inimitable style. Why? You may well ask. It's a one year project for the tenth anniversary, with all the bells and whistles, over on wordpress. You can even leave me a comment - not that I promise to read and respond but I will try to remember... it all seems to be going in circles just now, wanted to make sure that if you check in here you will know there's still some bridge activity going on!

I'm celebrating ten years of Singing Bridges!
Already started with a fabulous trip to visit the Menai Suspension Bridge for an on-site audio walk and concert event in April, with Bangor Sound City. Also took the ferry across from Holyhead to Dublin and listened to the Samuel Beckett Bridge there, by Santiago Calatrava - the undeniably brilliant Spanish bridge architect. I love his bridges, stripped back and skeletal, his cables are like harp wires, and they all sing. Working on the follow up plans now, back in my temporary abode and studio in Berlin Wilmersdorf. I love it over here, out of the hipster zone and somehow very peaceful, only 15 minutes by ubahn if I feel the need for lively streets.
Next up, the new and improved sonic bridge manifestation with sound and light in various forms - not quite the sculpture I had in mind, but it's going to be briliant - developing in collaboration with the excellent Andy Holtin.
Exhibition on the way to being confirmed at a very exciting Berlin location in September. More plans underway.
