yay happy birthday to me!
having a fabulous time, thanks to all the lovely friends, here there and everywhere.

even working the emotional state of glitch yesterday into my sound process - nice synthesis of life and art. swimming helps too, refining ideas and thinking through structure, content. all coming together, I hope. will definitely be more personal than originally intended - something about punking up my life has a good effect on the art, or so it seems. more free, more real, more related. still definitely on theme - 'border transmissions', although more interpersonal borders and states than political, geographical ones.

anyway, I'm all pink from the sun - yes, finally made the trip to sentosa, coincidentally for a birthday bloody mary, but also to record the suspension bridge there. beautiful, finally, singing cables! a little late but plan to come back, so will develop a live component for next time. and it's very poetic - apparently the southernmost point of continental asia - although we did ask: 'what are all those other islands out there?.' Guess not part of the 'continent' - now I really have to go to Turkey and get the Bosphorus bridge into my ears, perfect resolution, the other side of asia linking europe.

ok now, enough talk, time to recover from last nights hardcore punk socialising, love you guys!!!!

picked up dvd of performance art piece on the bridge last week, doing a little more with the sound before I watch it, so not trying to fit to image - which doesn't come first in this case! garlanded with gorgeous scented frangipani's by the lovely lynn, and now watching a movie with kelly, very low key.

more talks on sunday at nus cultural centre, if you haven't heard enough about bridges already - on live 938 radio living room yesterday, in business times today... time for a little anonymous lounging.
