Emergent forms and themes in performance and culture in the first decade of C21 Edited By Peter Eckersall And Helena Grehan Online Now www.performanceparadigm.net PERFORMANCE PARADIGM No 4, 2008. Featuring reviews of recent books by Rustom Bharucha, Mike Pearson, Leslie Hill and Helen Paris and the enormous Performance Cosmology from CPR in Wales. We also have Meg Mumford’s detailed analysis of recent publications on contemporary theatre in Europe by and Maggie Philiips’ discussion of new work by Ramsay Burt . The articles section features new essays from a number of established and emerging scholars in the field. The topic of new forms and paradigms in performance emerges in essays such as Kate Rossmanith’s account of Bio Art, Jeffrey Morris’s discussion of digital music performance and Diana Smith’s account of Sydney based visual artists ‘The Kingpins’. We are especially excited to be publishing Meiling Cheng’s recent exploration of recent performance work in China.
Guitarist and composer Lily Maase and her band The Suite Unraveling release their album, Unbind. today. It includes a fascinating blind collaborative project of Lily’s called Vanishingpoint. I contributed some sounds to this project by improvising some short musical passages using samples of things recorded by other contributors.
Check out the album at CD Baby.
My RUhere has been included in a web-based exhibit presented by SoundLAB with the theme “soundSTORY.” The exhibit is presented as part of NewMediaFest 2007.

From the 2007 International Computer Music Conference in Copenhagen:
After an introductory survey of how feedback appears in common musical processes and situations, interactive compositions by the author are described, which have later been incorporated in complex feedback systems. In such systems, software is able to take on a voice of its own and become responsive more like an instrument than a composition. This highlights aspects of the changing roles of the composer and computer in musical creation and performance. A general model of feedback instruments is drawn from observations made in developing and performing these works in the past two years.
