Excerpt from up4it & freshlick night Soundhaus 29/01/10
February 6th, 2010
This is the uncut 50 minutes version of the youTube clip. Did not intentionally set out to film this, as explained below, but strikes me as worthwhile, for a variety of reasons, to make an effort to film some parts of each night I play at from now on. I’m certainly having to give some thought to how to light the djs for the live feed that I currently screen, so it could easily become part of my set. An audio feed from the mixer would also be useful as I could mix it in later with the live sound from the camera.
Wonderful example of back to back playing at up4it and freshlick night in the Soundhaus big room. Great technique and interplay by Michael Hutcheson, Andy Hell and John Newall (names to be confirmed). Sums up the whole night though, great sets by all the djs, in both rooms. The usual SNAFU on my part, need to have a tape recording in the camera to keep the feed live so I can mix it, means I always end up with the last hour on tape. Respect to everyone and apologies again to IanM for taping over you
Flyers for the night
I take it that I’ve got everyones’ name’s right (for once). If not correct me in the comments below.

High Living

Theme for Great Cities, Sighthill remix. A few years ago I was sitting on the train waiting to get into Queen St when I noticed the thin side of the tower blocks above me had been painted. Nice idea I thought, shame they could’nt do the front as well. So I did…..remix of some old school visuals and classic Simple Minds tune from a while back.

New site design
January 13th, 2010
Started trying out some new ideas for this site. Using an XML driven flash template as opposed to this CMS version. Not sure if I will use it yet, but has been interesting to develop, and may end up combing some of the features with this Wordpress version
New Light
January 13th, 2010
Just got my hands on an ADJ Messenger LED light. The unusual design and set of features appeal to me.
Like the way a computer key board can be plugged in via a PS2 port and you can type in a 30 character message, offers chance to do some live ascii art.
A bit old now not as bright as the some of the new LEDs.

Somes ideas based on a fingerprint pattern but could also be a maze. Ignore the audio thats just for me, it gives me a structure to work within.
