Sunday Synth Jam: More of an electroacoustic avant garde jam – this video captures The Crank Ensemble performing String Theory:

For the Garden of Memory annual Solstice performance at Chapel of the Chimes in Oakland, June 21, 2009.

Excerpt features Bronwyn Ximm as “stimulator”, with Hugh Behm-Steinberg, Mark Brest van Kempen, Vicki Olds and Bodil Fox as “tuners”, with Mary Behm-Steinberg as “knitter”.

Sound is generated by placing piezo contact microphones on nylon string, and embedding them in knitting needles. Knitting concept by Bodil.

something to think about

Part of being a successful artist is to make amazing art, seemingly effortlessly. But this is the rub: to make amazing work you have to make a lot of stuff that kinda sucks.

That may seem obvious, but when you reach a place where you’re work is selling at a consistent pace and supporting yourself and your, ahem, habits, it’s very easy to feel like you’ve got it all dialed out.

Making work that sucks suddenly doesn’t seem like an option, it feels like a waste of time. — Whitney Smith
