The FM kbrd is featured (along with 100 hackers from all over the world) on the DVD that comes with the second edition of Nicolas Collins' - Handmade Electronic Music - The Art of Hardware Hacking.
It's a huge pleasure to take part of a book that was/is such an inspiration for my own work. If you're into analogue electronics and all sorts of handmade sound machinery you should have this book too.
You can buy it here but It should also be available at good bookstore near you.

The life of my digital camera (Canon PowerShot A85) which I have owned since 2004 has radically changed. For some strange reason (probably Chip-related issues) it's now manipulating everything that it captures. I've decided to document this glicthing behaviour by recording short films with it. You can find them by clicking here.

A couple of months ago I was interviewed for Jotta.com (ex-fifizine), an online project created by the CSM's Design Laboratory. The website is meant to work as a platform for students and recent graduates to network and show their work to the "outside world". The interview has been online for while now but for some reason they seem to have edited - shortened - some of my answers. If you wanna read the non-edited version click here.

I played a gig at Public Life (shoreditch) as a part of the Super Collider workshop tutored by
Nick Collins
and John Eacott.
My programming skills are very basic and therefore I played a very short set (4ish minutes). One of the highlights of the night were Slub , a live code trio. Make sure you check them out!
