I just got back from performing at the STRP Festival<\/a> in Eindhoven; a new technology, music and arts event.<\/p>\n

There were many superb performances. There were many fascinating installations<\/a> and many sensor driven robots<\/a> \/ things<\/a> one of which was exceptional<\/a>. Many runners ran on this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The staff were gracious<\/a> and perfectly organized<\/a>, the hospitality first class. The punters<\/a> were of the highest intelligence and good taste.<\/p>\n

The event took place in the former Phillips factory, Philips of course, being the inventors of the Compact Disc.<\/p>\n

Many years ago, I wrote some essays<\/a> on CD and digital audio which caused controversy and triggered accusations of ludditery against their noble author.<\/p>\n

Now 14 years later, I perform a set of Fine Art Noise<\/a> whose very nature is absolutely tied to and created from the specification of Compact Disc, in the very building that saw its initial development.<\/p>\n

Another circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
