I was very fortunate to meet and chat with most of the speakers Chris Serle (The Computer Show) , Sophie Wilson (ARM processor and Acorn Computers) , Dylan Smith (the Tweeting spectrum) I even asked some questions during the Q&A’s for both Sophie Wilson and O.M.D. who gave an amazing Q&A and performance of some new songs and classics. The volunteers at the museum also took to giving presentations at the museum Peter Onion on the Elliott 803, Tony Frazer on the Witch, Delwyn Holyroyd on mainframes of the 1970s, Tony Sale on Colossus and our youngest volunteer Adam Bradley on the Cray series computers which the crowd loved.

I also gave two performances in the mansion which were good fun because of the small audience size, people could ask questions during, for the chip tune performance I even took them through the code for the visuals. The second show on Sunday was was a re-showing of Obsolete? and a Q&A which I am beginning to like doing more and more. For the rest of the time I was directing people round the museum and talking to exhibitors.

All in all it was a great weekend and good fun was had by all, I even picked up a second BBC Micro.

You can hear BBC’s Broadcasting House’s report on it here around 54 minutes in to the programs, also report on the event at the BBC Technology website here.

Very pleased to be featured on BBC Radio 5′s Outriders took the time to have a closer look at Pixel Art and Chip Tune Music, I was interviewed alongside the excellent Simon Cottee director of Pixel – A pixel art documentary and the amazing Tristan Perich creator of the 1 bit symphony and I am very pleased with the coverage that this documentary brings to these areas. You can Listen on the radio on BBC Radio 5 it is broadcast on Tuesdays at 0300 in Up All Night or you can listen now online here. You can also have a go on a re-creation of the circuit bent NES at Childhood Remix here. Enjoy!

“Current Affairs” is also done and music video is in progress, very excited about it. I am thinking I won’t release any singles from this album either especially not physical releases as singles, however I feel after doing a project like “Obsolete?” I will make a music video for each of them or at least most of them.

There are about 15 other tracks though some are 75% done and some are just ideas, but either way I am super excited. The album spans from euphoric and pleasant to dirty and noisy electronica already, and yes I am still gonna have a few guests, it’s just very slow to organise as everyone seems to be doing their albums at the same time.

But yes, things are going well. Rehearsals tomorrow for gigging season and I have some new songs to play so a little nervous about that but will get it all sorted tomorrow.

I had been up since 6.30am as I was so excited, so by about 10pm I was absolutely exhausted. I did Q&A afterwards and a tour of the museum.

I was interviewed by Dan Damon of BBC World Service, Future Music, Goldsmiths Radio, ZDNet.co.uk and several more did loads of photoshoots.  At the end I was happy it went well and I was happy to get back to the hotel, eat cookies and sleep. But I left the laptop on and got loads of nice emails and twitters, which I woke up to peek at every now and then.

More of the same tonight but with a full house, pictures will be about on the net soon, as we have a Flickr group arriving, and loads more press.

Just hanging out at The National Museum of Computing now and Just got to meet Peter Onion creator of the Elliott 803 emulator, a fantastic man who is very knowledgable about the 803. Also bumped into Dr Sue Black at lunch who has been helping raising awareness of TNMOC and Bletchley Park.

This message was transmitted from Bletchley Park.
