My skin is the system boundary
Portsmouth 29th May
This week I am tired
I don’t know how to stop or switch off – unfortunately
I must be too tired as I just noticed I am making silly mistakes – evidently I was a Month ahead of myself in the postings yesterday – wrong month – unusual I am not checking detail but Not unusual as I miss-read things all the time.
Previewed some of the sound without visuals yesterday at a University event for the ‘Month of the brain’. It was interesting to see if the ‘soundwerk grey’ stood on its own 2 feet rather than being part of an interaction with image (thats how it will be shown on the 14th June at The Arts Catalyst)
It was this event ‘Whats the point of brain research’

where I was asked to preview the sound.
I burnt a trial CD of the one track and took my own sound system over to the Portsmouth Guildhall to set up – forgetting one lead which I had to go back for. Set up tested working pushed to one side so not to interfere with the main event. Ready for later.
I had signed up to attend as it looked to be a good opportunity to learn too. Sat – ready to take notes only distracted by the tea, scone and Cornish cream – tempting in the middle of the table (aspiehabit – I sat in same place as the other event I attended a few weeks before)
Debate passes quickly – too quickly – sought patterns – found patterns – connections – corroborations – metaphor
Played – listened to – tweeted about – questions too – explained residency principles – 99% very positive – i find that ‘she stands on her own’
