I was fortunate to give a talk to first year Music Technology students today about the Internet, Music and more.

It was interesting to discuss the various techniques available to them to get their music out there and to share some of the success stories I’ve had and how could improve their chances of success.

A good bunch of students and a good range of questions from these first year students who are just starting out.

I wish them all the best success and I am sure I will be back soon to talk some more about circuit bending and more in the near future.

It is always good fun to talk to other musicians and you can find out more about their course here @ Suffolk New College.

From time to time and when I have the time, I get to review games over at GamePeople.co.uk, and it’s great not only do I get to put my views across about new games but also read reviews by real people.  I tend to review more family and younger childrens games, that way I can share them with my kids and where possible include them in our daily activities. I  believe that video games are just as important as other ways of learning and communicating especially when used correctly.

I am the “Magnetic Gamer” making fun reviews on my fridge and you can read my lastest reviews of Starship Patrol, AiRace : Tunnel and Advanced Circuits on the DSi Ware.

There is also loads of info on the new Nintendo 3Ds here so go and check it out and join the debate.

Good fun was had by all and it was nice to meet several other artists making interesting things, I am featured in the video @ around 7:36 talking about “Childhood Remixed”.

Just a quick mention I am the sketchPatch featured artist of the month you can go and check outthe crazy things I have made and see the code behind it all.

You can also make and upload your own to show of your skills.

You can check it all out here on there amazing site here and be sure to follow them on Twitter here for updates here.

I was fortunate to have a chat with fellow artist Mark Dixon and discuss all things electronic and creative this evening, it is always good to meet other artists,  especially when there is dinner involved.  I was shown around his studio (which I am envious of) and some of the projects he is working on,  so hopefully there might be some collobarations or at very least more chats like this in the future.
