Monday the 9th of November I have the opportunity to perform 'Dense' as part of miniWofS.

miniWofS is the one day version of the Week of Speakers project organised by the inclusive improv collective.

You can find out more about miniWofS here.

'Dense' is a solo laptop piece performed using ChucK code and just the laptop keyboard and mouse. Performed using live coding techniques 'Dense' has been created for miniWofS.

Playing another gig so if your in the manchester area this is unmissable.

Will be live sampling, processing, coding and general laptop-ing.

All in support of....

On September 27th and October 3rd 2009 I am leading a workshop on the Laptop as a musical instrument in Manchester UK.

The workshops are being hosted by The Noise Upstairs and explore methods of improvising and performing with laptop computers.

On Saturday I am attempting to walk the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, 25 miles and a total climb of 5,200 feet.

The route will take us up Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.
