I’m doing a tour called SWElectronica together with Raquel Meyers and Random. We’ll be in Moscow, St Petersburg and Petrozavodsk. More info at my live-page (or, well, not really). Maximum turbo acid, in training!

In 2006, I did an audiovisual DATAJAM in Gothenburg together with Dino, Yoki, Booger, Mortimer Twang and Optiroc. Live coding, music and graphics. Yesterday me, Frantic, Jucke and Dino made a similar thing at Hacknight #2 in Malmö. On this photo you can see five C-64s, a serato setup, midi drums, and a wersiboard. While me and Frantic improvised with defMON, he also used his drums and keyboard. Jucke scratched with C64-sounds and Dino drew his PETSCII live. Maximum data experience!
This weekend, the new edition of the Playlist exhibition starts in Brussels. I feel almost over-represented as I’ve contributed to exhibited works by James Dingle, Entter, Raquel Meyers, Mats den Andre, Erik Nilsson, Boogerlab and also in Rosa Menkman’s video with music made under the name Extraboy. Still, it seems to be a great exhibition. See it now! Also, there’s three live-shows coming up, with visuals by Raquel Meyers and a hacker-jam-workshop thing at a hacker space in Malmö.
June 4 @ Dance to the Bit, Rotterdam, nl w/ Flex Busterman, Computadora, Je Deviens DJ En 3 Jours & Microtterdam DJs. I’ll play an early ambient-ish set.
June 5 @ Crackbits 2.5, Tilburg, nl w/ Flex Busterman, R10T33R, Gameboys A Gogo.
June 11 @ Tresor, Berlin, de. VisualBerlin festival w/ e.g. Stu, Tonylight, Decrepticton, Notendo, Lance Blisters. I will also do a workshop/lecture here, and some undercover tom-foolery.
June 19 @ Hacknight #2, Malmö, se. Me and Glenn Again will improvise with Defmon and other secret C64-softwares, but also make a workshop entitled “Beyond bleep-blop: C64 as music monster”. Sign up for it here.
I’ll perform with Raquel Meyers at Demode Festival on Friday, alongside Danger, the Lowbrows and others. I’ll also do a presentation with a critical perspective on chipmusic and the demoscene, building on what I write at Chipflip. Btw, I published a tiny history of demoscene music at Rhizome.
29 April, London: HATEBIT w/ Neurobit, Shitmat circuit bending thingies, Spastic Burn Victim, d0us, and me. I will do a little jam together with Dan Stowell.
1 May, Stockholm: Release-party for the new and improved Brand – a 100 year old anarchist magazine (!). I will jam a bit with Rasmus Fleischer here, and Jossystem are VJing!
