Well, its that time again. Let’s clean house. Let’s move some stock. Let’s get it going.

My favorite coporate dj, N-RON, has been releasing a number of tracks this year, and in an attempt to vertically structure the company, he has decided to use soundcloud. Inspired in part by parole and recent nasty behaviours by soundcloud that ripley notes in her blog, N-RON is looking to use the system to build the system.

So be sure to go HERE to get the latest from N-RON. 19 tracks so far, many more to come!

I stayed outside of Alghero, in a tiny town named Fertilia. There, I was first greeted by its stark minimal appearance.

After a scorching and beautiful day at the beach, the next I traveled by bus to nearby Alghero. There, I and a friend stumbled upon a french tourist boat heading to Neptune’s Grotto.

After a rather bumpy and exhilerating boatride, we docked rather precariously and scuttled into the 70 million year old cave.

Once inside, I was stunned, both by its pristine enormity as well as its peaceful self-awareness that it projected. Whenever I feel humbled by nature, it brings me a sense of such intense grounding in both the particular and the general that I can only laugh outloud. Which I did.

And the laughter resonated off of growing walls in a most remarkable way.

Last night, in the backstage room at Le Poisson Rouge in New York, I was talking with Raz Mensai (Badawi), and he mentioned a project he will do in Oporto, Portugal’s catacombs.

It triggered a memory of a film I once saw, where Hermeto Pascoal played a cave as an instrument. Little did I know, it was a grotto.

Hermeto Pascoal Grotto song

despite appearances, this ship of fools is still sailing. and I still blog. to the ether with this!

I don’t like violence much, but do like Peter Lamborn Wilson’s (aka Hakim Bey) Pirate Utopias

lots to report, but first let me try to catch up…
what I have been up to:

0. Completing the listening lab at the LHH, with Pod architecture. More on that in the next post. But stay tuned for the opening invite in May.

1. Possible. this is the name of my band. my myspace is myspace.com/possiblebandname
this record should be finished in May, after a year of travel, collecting new sounds and putting them together. Possible has teamed up with
Tunde Oyewole on upright bass, Alex Posell and Ismail Lawal on drums here in Perlin Studios in Brooklyn to complete the recordings. 14 golden new songs headed your way on the forthcoming debut album Anything Is…

2. New Crew, new Party: Pure Capital: dj n-ron and reganomics: new mixtape coming up: global capital. stay tuned

3. I twitter therefore etc…

4. This month: DJ N-RON at Que Bajo?!?, 30th of April…APT (419 west 13th, manhattan). Alongside Gecko, Uproot Andy and the masses…

yes, that’s it for the second…
except for this song
which might be by changorama. or not. but it is certainly La Cumbia del Reggaeton.

bad subject heading for a even more curt blog entry, but my aplogies for lack of detail…

this weekend I will be performing live video with dj/Rupture’s band NETTLE at Brandeis, in BOSTON, MASS.

Nettle will be joined by Grey Filastine, as well as others, in a series of workshops and events at Brandeis

Organized by the one and only Wayne and Wax.

For some moments sometimes it looks a little like this. But without the flash.

On Monday, March 23rd, I will be back in New York, presenting 3 new works at Pecha Kucha New York.

PKNY 6 – MONDAY MARCH 23RD, 2009

At Le Poisson Rouge

Doors 6:30 – Speakers 8:30

$5 in advance $10 at the door

Live music by the Sam Barsh Band

Followed by DJ Jon Santos of Common Space

Brought to you by PKNY in partnership with Performa

In Case you haven’t attended before, Pecha Kucha is a format where presenters are have 20 slides, 20 seconds per slide.

So each presenter gets 6 mintues to talk about his/her work, ideas and projects.Pecha Kucha originated in Japan, and is held regularly in 13 cities around the world.

I have presented once before, in Mexico City, and it was a lot of fun and a great way to learn and see.

Ok, hope to see you all there and everywhere.

It has been quite an accumulation of new experiences that would no doubt take more than a day or 2 to tell.

So instead of doing that, I am going to try to let pictures do much of the talking. I can only begin to begin to say thank you to the people and places that have been so generous with their time, spaces, ideas and feelings.

This year has been really transformative: A linear map would be  6 months in Mexico City (with 2 weekend trips to New York for Alex and Jessica’s wedding), to 1 week in Italy, 1 week in France, 5 days in Germany,  1 more week in Italy, then 2 weeks on the west coast of the US, back to Mexico for 2 weeks, then to New York for 2 1/2 months subletting while shooting and mixing the upcoming Listening Lab (more on that in a bit), to 2 1/2 months in Rio, São Paulo and Belo Horizonte Brazil. But it has not felt linear, probably due to constant flow of friends visiting, chance encounters and the small overlapping worlds within which I seem to travel.

All in all, it has been an amazing time, and I feel lucky to have been able to have had such a wonderful year of travel. As this is a blog, I can only hope that the few readers I do have are aware of how thankful I am that we were able to spend time together over this last year. It has been a lot of hellos and goodbyes (for now). In a strange way, it seems like a year of new beginnings…

It has been a wonderful year, and as I finish writing this from Rio de Janeiro, I am both happy and a bit nostalgic. Happy to have met so many wonderful people, and sad that I must leave this amazing city. But, as always (it has been 16 years back and forth!), I will return…Meanwhile, it is back to BKLYN at least for now.

Sometimes people ask me what DJ N-RON plays live. Usually, I respond by saying corporate dance parties. But that often seems too vague for many.

What came out in Rio de Janeiro yesterday was inspired in part by the sounds accumulated in travels, and in part by the collapse and contraction of other institutions of Kapital. After some refinement, we now have DJ N-RON’s Corporate Take Over mix here and happily on Blentwell’s Podcast.

As it is a party mix, it is best appreciated standing up or moving, or both.

Tracklist is below.
