CatchUp

I have been neglecting the blog here lately, the project in fact has been more dense than I originally thought.  Those of you who are looking for more audio, no problem, please be patient, it will come.  I’m going to go ahead and just make some entries, but I will make them separate in order that the log stays searchable and so on.

The past week was spent crunching hard getting another project of mine together, that is tightly related to the DAREDX project, so closely, in fact, the audio from DAREDX is played in this other piece.  Its called the Office of Spectral Ecology, and is on view at Oboro, another super great artist run center in Montreal.  I’ve really begun to understand the ecology of these centers here in Canada as an outsider from the US.  They are so great, non-profit, and very reminiscent of my days at Artists’ Television Access, but funded by the government.  The spaces are fantastic, and I think contribute very much to Canada’s strength in the Arts.   DARE-DARE is of course very unique with no ’space’ but public space.  It reminds me of Creative Time crossed with ATA.  All the people here have totally gone out of their way here to help me out in so many ways.

Have a look at the Office of Spectral Ecology, and Oboro’s site too.

Speaking specifically about my on the air experiences, well, there have been many more, mostly on the 20 meter band.  In my location, its interesting at the time that I am here.  When I arrive at 5 the band is ususally filled with europeans, and it gradually shifts to the UK and Ireland, then I start getting the US and places south.  My furthest South has been Paraguay, and I’ve only heard that country once, so that was a real treat.

So on with the rest of the catchup…
