‘RPMs 2’ cassette now online
My 2011 ‘RPMs 2’ cassette was released in 2011 by Altered States. Now sold out, it’s been reissued online for free streaming/download by Shame File Music. This is the second in a series of albums I released on various labels from 2010 to 2012 documenting the RPMs series of compositions for turntables (see Discography for details).
Performances – May 2016
GAIP ‘gather’
GAIP in conjunction with TESTING GROUNDS presents gather a 24 hour performance event on May 14/15, 2016 at Testing Grounds, 1 – 23 City Road, Southbank, Saturday 6:00 pm. until Sunday 6:00 pm.
From the GAIP website:
gather will function, in part, as a closing ceremony, marking the end of a chapter for Testing Grounds (which will undergo a major upgrade over winter).
There will be no programmed performances, instead, spontaneous, adhoc, on-the-spot collaborations, and an improvisational approach to performance of any material will be the predominant mode of relation, forming a constantly negotiated improvisational ecology.
Video from a GAIP event at Testing Grounds in 2014 below:

Carmen Chan’s “Do You See What I Hear?” wins second prize
Carmen Chan has taken out second prize in the Chapel Street Art Town awards. Carmen’s work drew on a four hour street performance earlier this year with myself and Llara Goodall, and incorporated video, audio and visual art work created during this time into the resulting multi-media piece. Congratulations, Carmen!
Carmen’s and other works are being exhibited at Chapel Off Chapel until 14 May 2016.

Two unique performances I’m involved in are coming up in the next week:

@ Conduit Arts 83 Brunswick Street, Fitzroy
4-5 Apr: 11am-11pm
6 Apr: 6am-6pm
Ren & Carmen say:
Over three days, we will create a conversational space within the walls of Conduit Arts through performance art. We will explore the common boundaries of public and private domains as artists, and attempt to articulate the shift of energy that is an integral part of the processes of our respective artistic practices.
We will interact with each other; with our hosts; with our guest artists; and with anyone who enters the space.
I will join them at 6am on Wednesday 8 April for a dawn performance at Conduit.
Entry by donation.

Do You See What I Hear?
Carmen Chan’s multi-disciplinary piece continues to reinvent itself with different scenarios and artists. On this occasion, I will join Carmen and Llara Goodall to perform on the footpath in Chapel Street, Prahran, as part of the Chapel Street Art
Town festival. If you’re in the area, we’ll be situated near the corner of High Street – wander by and have a chat with us about what you think it might mean to be a musical thinker…
