I’m renting a studio at the Gibraltar Point Arts Centre on the Toronto Island for the month of September, where I’m preparing for a couple of upcoming Toronto installations: Respire at Nuit Blanche (October 3, 2009), and Domestic Wireless, Dust (as part of the Leona Drive Project, October 22-31, 2009). Glorious weather plus water and wind and trees equals bliss! But little did I know that there are a series of AM radio transmitter towers down here. The business of broadcast never stops…..

…. and perhaps I ought to slap a warning on my little work shack out here:

I’ll be back in the business of hanging radios in a week: going out west to perform Respire at the Surrey Arts Centre for their Sound Thinking 2009 symposium (Feb 28), then journeying on up to Kamloops and the Thompson Rivers University for a little presentation and performance there (March 2-4), hosted by Ashok Mathur, Canada Research Chair and Director for the Centre for Innovation in Culture and the Arts in Canada. After that it’s back down south to California, to do a peformance and lecture at the Centre for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University (March 10).
There will be ladders. There will be batteries.
