news

Dear all,

a long absence from the digital waves as I have been busy on a contract for the Royal Opera House Creative Partnerships putting together educational reseach projects.

I did however manage a short excursion to Madrid, playing/singing as part of Thomas Koner's “opera digitale” The Futurist Manifesto at Festival Rencontres Internationales. It's always a very enjoyable experience!

In May I also played at Sounds at the Muse, trying out a new idea putting together voice sounds with some of my drawings. I'll put up an extract on youtube shortly. Mark Beazley from one of my favoured bands, Rothko, also played.

More recently I spend some time in Italy, recording a few noises with my good friend Andrea Gabriele, performing a beachside concert at Ecoteca at Plinius (thanks Fabrizio for the fabulous moogerfooger...) and finally having a look at the abolutely wonderful Pollinaria where I'll be spending some time next year. Sadly I had to cancel my residency last year as my mum was very ill. As usual, I took (too) many pictures... some from Pescara and some from Pollinaria. I hope you'll enjoy them!

Another bit of good news, from October I'll be doing a practiced based PhD at London College of Communication with funding from the AHRC. I'm very much looking forward to it!

Bye for now
Iris
