How I'm listening to music right this second. The shutting down of This Is My Jam. And this post over here: The music Web is now so closed, you can’t share your favorite song. Reminded me to jot down a note about how Im listening to music right at this very moment. I only decided to start doing this the 2nd week, I had to go back through my last.fm played tracks to rebuild the first week. Once the playlist is made its time to switch over to Pro version of djay PRO. Which will happily queue up and play pl...

THE CITY PROJECT: Requiem
http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/01/requiem.html
Leonard Street, EC2A. This has also caught the eye of the Chaotic Semiotic. Who posts the full text. The poem (if it wants to be seen as that? Is certainly worth a read, resonating like something somehow familiar, a "lesser-known Wilfred Owen". Yet after several reads I still can't untangle the mix of sentiment sympathetic to the military (if not to war) with Temple Ov Thee Psychick Youth spelling. Writing about finding a lost book. I called the city opaque. Here it goes further into the occult.

What would you do to make London a better place? That's the question being asked at Co-Create London. The first project from the Co-Creation Hub.

Crowdsourcing suggestions for things that'd improve London. The co-creation bit: a workshop with contributors, "London experts", and Co-Creation Hub team members to develop these suggestions into clear ideas. Throu...

THE CITY PROJECT: Walk II: Regent's Canal east
http://city-project.blogspot.com/2009/05/walk-ii-regents-canal-east.html
Walk II: Regent's Canal east. So I went for a walk. The estate's boarded up, condemned - but I've lived in worse places than that, those blocks last alright enough so what do they want to go knock it down for? Ah, the canalside got cleaned up no longer a rubbish dump but an amenity. Too good for social tenants. So knock it down, build it up, sell it to the middle classes at £500 a square foot. That's the capital. But when she's this beautiful you forgive, don't you. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

THE CITY PROJECT: Dalston Junction station, East London line
http://city-project.blogspot.com/2010/02/dalston-junction-station-east-london.html
Dalston Junction station, East London line. Bleak, isn't it. Modern, antiseptic, safety-first-handrailed to funnel us in and funnel us out more efficiently – quite accidentally a beautifully smooth edge to grind a skateboard on, but no doubt they’re developing facial-recognition CCTV that’ll call security as soon as that thought even crosses your mind. I understand we weren’t going to get anything world-changing at dirty old Dalston Junction, but did it have to be quite as soulless as this? This is an on...

Audium | Time & Materials

On recording “Classical Music”. Distributed Creativity ». May 8, 2011. I moved to San Francisco last week! New job. Fun times. The other night, I tagged along with some new friends for a visit to Audium. According to their blurb,. Run since the 60s by composer Stan Sheff, it’s a pristinely-preserved little slice of history, from when I guess the ideas of Stockhausen, Xenakis and that lot were all the rage. It’s brilliant. If you’re ever in SF, go go go. But, to be honest, the sonic bit wasn’t exact...
