Ok lots of stuff to choose from, first up BBC Radio 3 The Late Junction with Verity Sharp from the BBC website here, a very eclectic radio show. BBC Word Service The Strand interview with Dan Damon and article on chiptune music here, and finally last but not least BBC Radio Wales an interview with Adam Walton regarding music and technology here from Sunday 26th for a week. Enjoy!

I am never quite sure whats going to happen next, but this is a nice suprise. Music from the “Obsolete?” concert piece will be performed on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction with Verity Sharp, very excited the program always features an eclectic range of music and I have tuned in for quite some time now.

There is a Facebook event page here and more information as well as online listening and listening again from the BBC website here.

Enjoy!

I am providing some music for a new play by Zay Amsbury and directed by Web Begole. Featuring David Marshall, Aidan O’Shea (Turing) and Amanda Rhines. Performances are April 23-25, 2009 at The New School for Drama, 151 Bank Street, New York, NY. If you are nearby, pop by.

“An Alan Turing Fantasy, a new play by Zay Amsbury and directed by Web Begole, asks the question: What if Alan Turing used the resources of British Intelligence to push his theories on machine intelligence to the limit? In a retrofitted Royal Air Force hangar, Turing creates an artificial intelligence that grows beyond his imitation games and holds the promise of ending his loneliness forever.” For more information visit the website here.

After lengthy consideration, I decided I would rather have my Game Boy / Game Boy Advance music software be used by everyone it can be used by, instead of just the few.

All of my my music software is now free for download on the software page, please read the FAQ’s before emailing me questions, Enjoy!

I am doing a lot of work in music and music education, the software is now even being used in some UK schools for students to do their GCSE music composition on.

Make music, make friends, have fun.

“IED” Instrumental was debut’d last night on BBC Radio 1 on David Hoopers Disgusting Electronica.

You can listen again here, lots of good music, fun and frolics. “IED” from the forthcoming album “And The Revolution” coming soon. I am working very hard on it and other projects at the moment, more info as soon as I have it myself.

It’s also on my MySpace page so you can add it to your profile.

Pixelh8’s most recent work “Obsolete?” is a audio and visual study of the people, machines, history of The National Museum of Computing, Bletchley Park and looks closely at the themes of mathematics, logic, code-breaking and enciphering. The project was funded by the PRS Foundations new music award and commissioned by The National Museum of Computing.

The music itself is composed using some of the oldest and rarest computers in the world such as the WWII code-breaking machine Colossus Mark 2 Rebuild, and the 1960’s Elliott 803 largely used for mathematics and some of the more commonplace machines such as the BBC Micro. With over thirty machines studied and utilised within the music, it is a combination of both sounds from the internal sound chips and the external electro-mechanical sounds. In addition to this, the piece also utilises such items as the early non-electrical mechanical adding machines.

The project was comprised of twelves pieces of music and accompanying visuals and culminated in two performances at the prestigious Bletchley Park Mansion on March 20th and 21st, 2009.

As so many of you have requested them and you will have to wait a little while to hear the music again, I have uploaded some clips of “Obsolete?” in the mean time.

“Math” from “Obsolete?”

“Rewind The Tape” From “Obsolete?”

“Monster” from “Obsolete?”
