On the summer solstices in 2004, and 2005, I was involved in a wonderful event known as The Garden of Memory at the Chapel of the Chimes. In 2004 I made Monorails, and in 2005 I made Cranks.
Matt Davignon asked me to join in an interesting evening of sonic droning that he put together called Droneshift over in Oakland at 21 Grand, March of 2005. (Photos are by Peter B. Kaars). I "played" the grimiest beat-up old electric reed organ you could imagine, (outfitted with a contact microphone), by using coffee stirrer sticks to prop key stops open, and moving my hand over the open chord stops. It worked great, and I had a blast.
I finally did a little site for the Wartoys show at the Lab, May of 2003.
This year, 2004, I've been writing choral music for a CD I'm working on entitled "In the Cathedral of Airplanes". Urs, the conductor of the San Francisco Sinfonietta, has arranged to have it performed by the Sinfonietta's string section. Here's the poster for the world premiere.
Here is a finished sound piece from the CD. You can listen to it here. Use headphones and be patient.

I held two weeks of workshops at my house, May 1998, in which I invited friends, artists & the public to come in and build things with the tvs, reel-to-reels, hairdryers, etc., etc, that I had been collecting for the past twelve years, followed by a culminating event, wake and performance. It was called "Deconstructing Household Appliances", and this is the Manifesto I wrote for it.
I started a collaborative project. I got a free web site and gave the password to as many people as I could think of emailing it to.
A freind I never met shot a beautiful picture of the windmill and put it on his site.
Would you like to the windmill Charity & I made at Burning Man in '97?
Would you like to a 30 ft. structure that a bunch of second and third grade kids and I made in 1997?
