Utopia Lost: Why Digital Music Has Failed Us

fadi — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 16:43:18 +0000

Annie Licata is rigth when she writes for Hypebot.com "There’s no work involved in consuming music anymore, whether it be finding or listening or sharing — there’s no reward. Technology has stolen gratification in music."

Read the whole article at Hypebot.com.

There you go. That wasn't so hard now was it?

The Circus moves on

Last night's show was absolutely spot-on - and we were luckier with the weather this time, so Yuki and Phil could play a fantastic pop intro outside in front of the tent. Watch this space for a video!

The tent was packed again. I don't have the box office figures yet, but by the looks of it we pretty much sold out for both shows.

So, this is it now. The Circus moves on, and we're all back on the road. Thank you Linz. It's been a great week, and a great show. I'm really pleased with what we achieved.

We've made it!

I'm still not entirely sure how - changing light cues an hour before doors opened while Fadi smashed up his brand new Western Digital Players (who were doing anything but that) and brought in Linux and Mac machines to the rescue, god knows where from. All that after four hours of sleep. If you ever thought doing a Fringe show was bad, try doing a multimedia show.

Nightshift

We've got our get in tonight - starting at half nine, after the show that was in the space before us had left. Nobody's exepecting to go home before 3 in the morning... but things are going ok.

Rehearsals

...are going well.

Two days to go...

Two days to go until we will reveal the Way to Shambhala to you. We are very excited. Fadi is just adding some finishing touches to the masterpiece, while I fuff around with the website and tidy up some loose ends.

There are online mags aplenty on the world wide web. What sets this one apart is its distinctive mix of rather superb short fiction pieces, fresh perspectives on the current state of the world and some other thing they call "Talking Heads".

About the latter all we can say is that apparently it does not require editor and founder Yascha to have a preparatory shave. Nor comb his hair. Nor even get out of bed properly.

Shangri-La, projections of utopia

Shangri-La Poster 2

Shangri-La, projections of utopia invites its audiences to travel to their own utopia, into a temporary space without beginning or end, to the legendary utopia in the depths of the Himalayas. They are contrasted in musical and visual terms with the real utopias of the present. The visual and acoustic structures that the travellers step into react to them in real time.
