Two performances of the Weathermatrix were given in Kiasma Theatre and attracted quite big an audience of clearly over 100 people each time. I’m really glad about all the positive feedback we got, although many people (including Helsingin Sanomat) assumed a connection between the showing of weather pictures and the recent road accident in the middle Finland. Guess that made the performance a whole lot more actual, but also a bit more tragic than CNCD intented.
For me the gigs were yet another proof of the fact that there is a point in programming your own tools for live performances. Who knows how I would have dealt with the 80 gigs of weather pictures, 9 screens streaming from the harddrive at once, without the aid of Perl scripts, threaded programming, the OpenGL interface and free libraries and compilers. Huge props to the authors of transcode, wget, ImageMagick, gcc, Perl, FTE, SDL, OpenGL and Debian Linux - your tools are the greatest (and of course, completely free of charge). I’m planning to release the live Weathermatrix tool I used in the near future myself. More info on that once I get some work done on the subject.
Last, a small observation on a quite different subject: Disco released their newest album “Pitkän päivän matka yöhön” this week and in the thank you list you can find Amfibio-oliot - translating into Amfibio creatures, and referring to me, Pauli and Maippi naturally.

The first batch of Grey Zone: Weathermatrix performances were given in Fylkingen @ Stockholm and seemed to be a success. Props to all the people in CNCD, Nursery (the organisers in Stockholm) and Pixelache for help, patience and of course, the opportunity - it was a very nice gig to participate in indeed. The gallery shall be updated as soon as someone points me to the videos and pics that were taken of the event. Also watch out for the another showings in Kiasma Theatre this thursday and friday.
Some surprise visuals were thrown in the same space by me and Teemu K/Amfibio for DJ Coolof who concluded the night with a great set of harsh electro. Nothing like some video clips and audio synced computer graphics to accompany new remixes of old Nitzer Ebb tracks!

Disco are about to embark on 4 gig promo tour and Maippi/Amfibio, Pauli O and Antti S will provide the visuals as usual. There will be 4 new songs and hence the same amount of new visual clips. No performing though as the videos will be shown from tapes. See gigs for dates and locations. Also, the Grey Zone: Weathermatrix performance with CNCD is shaping up nice, just two weeks to go before the first showing in Stockholm. There’s a specific page to be found for the project here.
I recently read the Communist Manifesto by Marx and Engels for the first time and in many ways it is timeless. Here’s an online version in English and in Finnish - I think everybody should consider reading it especially since it will not consume many hours of your time.

All right, the Altparty draft version of the latest Antti S/Markku Reunanen collaboration Micery is finished and released for Mac OSX. I’ll post a more complete news item and put the prod for download once the Linux/Windows/etc ports are finished (probably this week). In the mean while you may watch this pouet.net space for some praises and mockery. For those of you who missed it live at Altparty, fear not: I promise a plenty of this material shall be recycled for VJ’ing purposes.

The Alternative Party starts today at Helsinki and although there’s almost nothing assembled as we speak, we should release a demo there. We’ll know that in a few days time, won’t we.
