I did a performance yesterday (Sept 28th) as a part of Culture Days which was hosted by Holophon audio arts organization based in Saskatchewan. Here are some small clips from it plus some fun little experiments with my excess ice that I had laying around.

A celebration of art

Saw him DJ at the Mutek festival in Montreal a few years ago. Last set of the festival and a very early flight in the morning.

David Bryne also has a new book out that looks pretty interesting "How Music Works". Here is a little blog post about it on Brainpickings.org

I made a little jam session for myself about a month ago. Thought it was all rather nice and this came out of it. I think I'll probably post all of the 58 minutes some times soon, but this is the first of them. Hope you like it. I haven't edited any of it, I liked it as it was. The music almost has a classical edge to it when I listen to it. Gusher pt1 by guidewire ------------------------------

This week I'm on a little music tour around Saskatchewan. We are going to Yorkton, Moose Jaw and Saskatoon. The Dorkbot Ensemble concerts feature Ryan Hill, Ernie Dulanowsky, Jeff Morton and John Hampton (all of Regina). We just finished our first show in Yorkton and it was a good start to the whole tour. Worked out some kinks and it seems like we picked up a few new fans ;-) More to come over the next few days. Here is a vid of some of our past performances...

So, I played the "opening" set, in the chill tent, at the Connect Electronic Music Festival this year. It started around 6pm on the friday of the festival. When I got there to set up some other guys had been playing there for 2 hours already...so it wasn't totally the "opening" set, but it was close enough. I had a fun little setup of my computer, midi keyboard, delay pedal, and microphone. There were some sounds set up in ableton live (Clark, Matthew Dear, Guidewire, sound scapes, beats....so on) and some strange sounds coming from my voice. I captured about 3/4ths of it, but I find its a pretty decent, fun mix. It's definatly something to listen to more than once. » Check it out « more sets found here

I was just listening to the album "Situation" by Buck 65 and I was pleasantly surprised. The last few times I've heard his music I was slightly disappointed. Generally I listen to his music and I enjoy his choice of words and the production, then I see him perform and get distracted and off put by the wordiness. Situation was produced by Scratch Bastid and it's got some nice sounds. Totally enjoyed it. SCRATCH BASTID IS AWSOME.!..!..i might ad. I'm thinking I should try my hand at music reviews here. I'll keep you posted.....if there is a you. I'm trying to work on a nice report of a trip I took to Toronto recently. I saw a bunch of great concerts worthy of note and visual documentation. Hopefully I can gather up something to note. I'm slightly discouraged by the whole BLOG thing. I can see some of the benefits of it. But, then you sit down and try to write a little something and it goes nowhere. I suppose it has something to do with Engl...

I think there may be an influx of new shows from myself in the coming months. I had two shows about 2 weeks ago and I've gotten to putting one of them up on the net and I'll be nice and try to space out the other one so you guys out there in the "net" can think about what you listened to and then maybe try to match it up with the other show. You listen and download the show and I would love to hear any feed back. I have my other shows up on my " guidewire " show page. I'm kinda trying to figure out what I should be using the page for. At this point I was planning on putting up mostly my performances, but I've thought up putting up some remixes and such that maybe couldn't be sold but would still be fun to hear. I'm also still into the idea of "selling" music of mine, but don't really seem to want to "buy" it. Also, I would love if people felt it in their hearts to donate/tip/fund to my musicalness, but I'm a...
