Cloudbuilder setting up @ Sound of Mu, November 8th 2010.
It's been a while.
This was supposed to be a project-blog. A place where I could share and write about my projects but as time progresses there isn't much time left.
So.
What's been going on?
Firstly, my duo Cloudbuilder (with Arne Borgan) has been playing gigs in Trondheim, Bergen, Oslo and Kristiansand. We'll be back with more gigs in the new year but for now you can check out photos, videos and audio here:

Sadly there hasn't been much activity with DUNLOPE HIGHFLEX since playing at Kulturnatta in Kristiansand in May 2010 (with Beneva vs Clark Nova) but we'll be back in the spring with a gig in Oslo, more info will follow.
And then. What else? Well, the Circuit Bending Deed is growing. There are several different units waiting to be modified and give the chance of a happier existence, the field recording libraries are growing but not as much as I would like. My laptop is now filled with a strange mix of Ableton Live, MaxMSPJitter, Reaktor, MetaSynth, Reaper and just far too many pieces of great software to list here.
Some videos of some circuit bent videostuff can be found here:

And a recent remix can be found here:

Things are moving and shaking, rattling and humming.
But, then what? So what?
More will follow. This will be the arena where I will battle on with electronics, programming and video. Soon I shall commence work on the open source, hackable synth MeeBlip. This will be an ongoing and prolonged project, and all details will be posted here. I'm enthusiastic and hope others will be as well, with their own projects.

- Feb 06, 10I have finally gotten around to circuit bending the Casio SA-8 I've had lying around for a long time. I bought this on ebay for about $2 and finally put it to good use.
The controls on the left side are glitch randomizer and fifth step. With thanks to capserelectronics. com for great tips. The controls on the right side are worse: connected directly to the timing crystal, creating quite weird drony/noisy/random note generation. Alas, to end this weirdness one has to switch the Casio on and off. Fun, though... - Feb 02, 10

It's time for another DUNLOPE HIGHFLEX LydMøte (SoundMeeting) in Kristiansand. Our first in 6 months.
The meetings are always refreshing and gives great focus towards our understanding of improvisation.
We contributed on the Trente Osieaux "Tori no Kaigi [ichi]" compilation released in 2009. This is a free download, and can be found here.
Also, our myspace can be found here. - Jun 07, 09
"you walk for days among trees and among stones. rarely does the eye light on a thing, and then only when it has recognized that thing as the sign of another thing: a print in the sand indicates the tiger's passage; a marsh announces a vein of water; the hibiscus flower, the end of winter. all the rest is silent and interchangeable; trees and stones are only what they are."
