Today was the first day of freshers at Hudds Uni which as a post grad just means more people about.
But in the post grad word today we set up a Facebook group for SOMP (Society of Music Post Graduates Huddersfield), so if your are a PostGrad or about to become one at Hudds why not join it.
Really enjoyed the ICMC was a good laugh and made a number of interesting contacts. Have enjoyed meeting the big names in a very nerdy way.
I'll take this moment to thanks the University of Huddersfield for funding my trip across to present paper, as without there assistance I would have been unable to attend. Thanks alot guys!!
I right this sitting in Belfast airport awaiting my very delayed flight- argh airports; though they have just given me a food voucher.
Well chuffed to find a BT OpenZone wireless service which I can use thanks to my FON account.
BT Home broad band users can opt into the FON service for free which i would strongly recommend doing.
Anyway hope the plane is sorted soon as I can't wait to get back to S.
A short day for me as I spent much of the day working on some code and composition however the evening concert was quite enjoyable.
Michael Youngs Oboe_prosthesis was very interesting and played incredibly by Chris Redgate. Adam Greig played, Philip Reeders, BY RESPONSE very well illustrating much control over the extended playing techniques in use.
The panel on Network Performance was very informative with a strong understanding of the issues. The first hand experience of remote and tele-presence was informative and will be of use to elements of my own going work.
The MoPhO performance was enjoyable. I particular enjoyed the relationship between the physical gestures and the sonic material.
