The intensity of last week is slowly ebbing away, although building to a new pitch gathering momentum for imminent take-off.
I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing Francisco Lopez' concert on Sunday night, at Lanfranchis Memorial Discotheque. He creates an extraordinary immersive journey through sound, created from environmental recordings with intense crescendos in extreme contrast with almost inaudible times, building wild sweeping aural worlds. Lying on the floor of a cold warehouse in Chippendale, blindfolded, it felt as though every cell in my body had been rearranged by sound.

Then had a marvellous conversation with Francisco about composition, sound, music and other things - recorded courtesy of the fabulous ABC Radio, for a program I'm making on musique concrete. So even though my residency has officially ended this week, I have enough loose ends, and new projects up to be floating around the corridors for a while now.
Planning to be in the forests of Lithuania at the end of August, for RAM6 reapproaching new media.
Everything else in life has been suspended (possibly including sanity) to finish producing the radio program - almost there now. One day to go.
