Sync/Lost is a multi-user installation for immersion in the history of electronic music. The installation can be used by three users simultaneously, with wiimote and headphones/soundspeakers. Each one interacts by choosing a style on the interface.  My sincer apologies for lack of posts… Wordpress issues hence the (accidental) new design.

Christ, where does the time go? If this blog was my wife she’d be off riding the gardener by now. I’ve been getting into the groove of this 9-5 work thing the past 3 weeks and I’ve invested my free time in becoming a vegetable and steering away from engaging my brain with anything more strenuous than ogling Rosie’s rack in Coronation Street. Today my gross neglect ends and here’s my brain dumps for the weekend!!!

First up its the album I’ve been waiting to come out for a while and finally got to listen to yesterday. 25 year old Brit Kissy Sell Out’s album ”Youth’ came out last week and I read the NME review before it came out (Thou shalt never read NME…but it beats Hot Press). Well lets say the review pretty much slaughtered it. It’s not a bad album though, tracks like Bubs and Bizzle use those  same old fuzzy bass lines a la french electro but it’s feelgood music and with electro music like Kissy’s isn’t that what it’s about? Tunes like Apple Jelly and Essex Boy are get dancey tunes with some Madness style cockney vocals. If electro isn’t your thang then don’t bother, if it is then don’t expect amazement.

Ebony Bones first came to my attention over a year ago when a friend waxed lyrical and said she’d be hoooooj. Nothing happened… yet. However this year is set to a good year for Ebony Bones with her debut album ‘Bones of My Bones’ set to drop soon. Pop over to her MySpace and take a listen.
