PREDATOR 2: DVD
A hacked DVD of Predator 2, starring Danny Glover, Gary Busey and Rueben Blades and featuring soundtrack contributions by Andy Spore and Sneaky Snake should be available from the Night Gallery at the NADA Miami Art Fair. Although they didn't say anything about that in the email they just sent around.
A READ READER
XPACE Cultural Center now has a little book/sculpture of mine in their Curated Library section.
AUTO ITALIA LIVE
I helped out with some music for my friends' Jamie and Patricia's segment on this UK Internet Television experiment. You can watch the video here. I think the bit I was involved in turned out pretty well, even though I didn't have much to do with it coming out that way, good job Patricia and Jamie!

Is a radio show on Los Angeles' own KCHUNG Radio, audible within the Chinatown Area (1700 on your AM dial) that I am doing weekly with Nicolas Miller. Our archive website is here.
AGE OF THE WORLD SPREADSHEET (SCREENSAVER EDITION)
A self-running video feedback installation that provides a perpetual, low-stress, versions of the presentation from AGE OF THE WORLD SPREADSHEET. No posters, no fuss, no muss. Great for parties, or places where people are totally stoned and want to interact with video feedback while they are looped.
EFF IT (REPRISE)
The return of the low-intelligence, cute-pun-based collaboration with Bjarki Bragason. This time a bit more melancholy and maybe a bit more of a self-critique thing.

INTERNET ONLY EP
AKA Speciale is an EP of music actually made by the Aka pygmies. My friend Martha, who filmed that show in Malmö also sent me this CD-r of pygmy music, but digital burning process had failed spectacularly. So now it's an internet album.

Here's a video documenting the not-talking, not-singing part of this performance I've been doing all year. It's from Malmö, Sweden. The camera is by Martha Hviid.
NEU PHASE
Installation and scored performance for two drum kits at Mercer Union. Riffs heavily on Flux of Pink Indians, Steve Reich and (duh) Neu! Performed once. Not recorded.
PORK TATLIN
Replica of V. Tatlin's monument to the 3rd International made from pork. Unlimited edition: manufactured on request and couriered immediately to purchaser.
YOU CAN ORDER YOURS HERE.
SIMPLE PIECE FOR DRUM KIT CHOIR 1: MICKEY HART
Scored work for as many drum kits as possible. Strict structure, no jamming, uses Wittgenstinian ideas about 'private knowledge' and also leans really heavily on
Terry Riley.
BE YOUR OWN BOSS
Audio recording of four songs originally performed and written by Bruce Springsteen. Uncanny new arrangements: more critical emphasis on the rôle of capital on human relationships,
both to eachother and to ourselves. Can we dream? Are we anything without a system of exchange mediating every action and encounter?
YOU CAN ORDER A COPY OF THIS HERE.
YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS RECORDING FOR MONEY HERE.
