			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday I got myself down to the <a href="http://www.arnolfini.org.uk/">Arnolfini</a> for <a href="http://www.arnolfini.org.uk/whatson/events/details/255">Interesting Sounds</a>, an event that grew out of <a href="http://russelldavies.typepad.com/">Russell Davies&#8217;</a> <a href="http://russelldavies.typepad.com/planning/interesting2008/index.html">Interesting events</a>. I couldn&#8217;t stay for the whole day, unfortunately, but what I saw was fantastic. Adam Harding showed us his reconfigured guitar, moving the essential parts into a rectangular board that can be played like a dulcimer: the distancing effect of changing the relationship between player and instrument suited his delicate abstractions. <a href="http://sonicmarbles.co.uk/">Jon Pigott</a> showed us the Sonic Marble Run (see video below).</p>

<p>Grace showed us a video of the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5080422137">Dynion Dance Group</a> dancing on Swansea&#8217;s <a href="http://www.flintneill.com/swansea-sail-bridge/">Sail Bridge</a>, choreographed by <a href="http://www.zprod.org/PG/home.htm">Paul Granjon</a>. <a href="http://iamthemightyjungulator.blogspot.com/">Matthew Olden</a> demoed the latest version of Jungulator. Allen Argent showed us more MaxMSP madness, with a set of patches enabling collaboration and control across networks (my favourite was Netverb, which added reverberation effects computed from the shape of the network: echoes from a virtual room whose walls are made out of TCP/IP packets). We saw John Wild&#8217;s <a href="http://www.rupture.co.uk/Perimeter.html">Sounds from the Perimeter Fence</a>, recontextualising the site of the Olympics: gorgeous, bleak sounds, as you can see below.</p>
<p><object width="424" height="257" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/WjhBFsxxS78&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WjhBFsxxS78&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>I talked a little bit about an idea I had for making it nicer to be outside in cities:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=antibeep-090426105940-phpapp01&#038;rel=0&#038;stripped_title=antibeep" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=antibeep-090426105940-phpapp01&#038;rel=0&#038;stripped_title=antibeep" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>- it&#8217;s all a bit jumbled at the moment, but I&#8217;d like to try making an antibeep and see if it works. I tried to make one using two <a href="http://www.fm3buddhamachine.com/">Buddha machines</a>, but it didn&#8217;t really work.</p>
<p>And then I just had time to see David Hanford&#8217;s Sound Chair (a thirties chair with speakers in the back and base and controls on the arm like a supervillain, intended for the subsonics produced from the beats of two analogue oscillators) and <a href="http://bugbrand.co.uk/">Tom Bugs</a> demoing his analogue intricacies, it was lunchtime and time for me to go home.</p>
<p>I missed most of the rest of the day, but I think video and audio from the day will be up at <a href="http://www.interestingsounds.com/">http://www.interestingsounds.com/</a> soon. Can&#8217;t wait for the next one.</p>
