NICAI Communique Podcasts

Will hopefully start podcasting the Communiqué Autumn Lecture Series this coming Tuesday. Thinking how podcasts could be used as input into an networked-electro-acoustical performance and composition with jon panther, a post-graduate student in the School of Music. This requires licensing to be sorted / cleared for reuse remix rebroadcast at the point of creation. Things happen fast.

met with jon panther for a bit today in NICAI courtyard to dissect possible collaboration / performance / action around internet as input into sound composition. harvesting urls containing sound extensions as input into live manipulations; audience control over input variants, tagging, nexts, similar artists. Last.fm radio playlists. audiences controlling networked clients creating on-the-fly station for input. even with global corporate media's licensing restrictions the 30 second song burst is a perfect metaphor for networked limitations of the antipodes. latency of cultural and economic dependencies.

Great CD that got delivered to the station ... and which I picked up. Canada! There's something in the water up there that makes great indie-pop-country bands. And whistling ... someone in this band can whistle which is always a plus in my book.
