Goede reizen [21 May 2006]
The second day of the exhibition (actually also the last day) went pretty smoothly, except for the intrusion of some fierce, venomous bees from outside. Though Pei and the others were very much bothered, the exhibition still managed to attract a lot of people who were interested in sound art. Good job, guys!

Fleaing to the market [14 May 2006]
To start the day, James held a listening session for the workshop participants to share their experiments done yesterday, for the exchange of ideas and problems (ideologically or technically) encountered, and to serve as kind of platform where people can develop from. During the session, it turns out that they all had a good grasp of the direction, but the fine tuning with equalisers and setting up of PCs/Macs still require more experimentation and instruction. But as dear old Samuel Beckett put it: “Fail again, fail better;” I believe things have a way to sort themselves out.

From now on there is light...and sound [12 May 2006]
The first day of the sound art workshop began with a lecture given by John Heijmans, the mentor from Dutch Art Institute, on the connection between sound and science, and how our perception of music can be interpreted somehow in a mathematical way. The sound artist James Beckett, who grew up in Zimbabwe and studied in UK, gave a more in-depth look on the possibility of sound art employing the concept of ‘playback,’ which forms a cycling and re-cycling process of a particular recording.
