Sorry Tumblr, but in the 3-4 days I’ve been on Facebook I’ve gotten some heavy blog coverage for one of my projects, 1300 hits on one of my videos and inquiries for two or three gigs in North America. Plus connecting with a hundred or so people I haven’t been in touch with in a while. Stuff that never happened here.
I try to say all this without sounding egocentric, but it seems like I should be putting a lot more effort there. I’ll keep these pages up as an archive but don’t expect a lot of fresh material here.

I have an email address, I have a website, I have two Tumblrs. For some folks that is not enough. Reluctantly joining The Book to see how things go. You can always find me at macumbista.net and we’ll see how this other social networkish thing works out…
I will be the general assistant for this upcoming hacklab/workshop scenario at CTM.13 in Berlin. It’s a very interesting bunch of characters involved, and the application process just started. So send some shit in!
MusicMakers Hacklab @ CTM.13 – “Indeterminism Machines”
Submission Deadline: 11.1.2013
Hacklab Runs: 29.1 – 1.2.2013
We don’t want to just talk about the future: we want to invent our own Golden Age. The MusicMakers Hacklab at CTM.13 will be an open, collaborative environment in which participants can learn about new technologies and get their hands on making their own musical inventions. It’s a space in which people can build a rapid prototype of anything they imagine, creating new ideas around music making and creation, from composition to performance and DJing.
We’re inviting people across media to encourage collaboration: musicians, developers, artists, designers, people working in skills like sound and music, but also code, fashion, visuals, and industrial design and craft.
Throughout the week, we’ll welcome artist and developer presentations from Keith Fullerton Whitman, Imogen Heap, Lucas Abela, Tim Exile, Ali Demirel, Native Instruments, Ableton, and others to be announced. Participants will share hands-on skill sessions on topics like physical computing and custom controllers, wearable technology and fashion, live visuals, Pure Data/libpd, Max for Live, Reaktor, OpenSoundControl, Quartz Composer, Processing, and more.
PARTICIPANT INFO
Selected participants who have proposed a project idea will be named official Hacklab Fellows and be provided with:
* A free CTM Festival Pass;
* Highlighted profile on CTM and createdigitalmusic.com websites;
* The chance to show your finished work at the live showcase at Berghain Kantine on 1 Feb, as part of the CTM.13 program.
In that spirit of sharing and community, the Hacklab will be open to walk-ins from both hackers and the general public.
