muus-nettle-flyer

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.

CONFIRMED SPEAKERS

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.

365 days out

So I have been living out of a suitcase or 2 for 1 year.

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 beÂ 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,Â 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, SÃ£o 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.

DJ N-RON Take Over Mix

n-ron photo michell haley

Sometimes people ask me what DJ N-RON plays live. Usually, I respond by saying corporate dance parties. But that oftenÂ seemsÂ 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.

Rich and Shameless

Since people have been asking, here’s a quick glance at the new Rich and Shameless EP from N-RON and $mall Â¢hange that is vinyl only (thanks Brooklyn Phono!).

The cover art is silkscreened, and reflects the excess of the record.

There are only a few copies left, I am afraid…I think that applecore might have a few, so get them while they are still hot:

Here’s track 1 from Side II from the record:
