Wrote this on a redeye to St. Paul in 2007.  I recall this beautiful, almost full, moonlight across the tops of the dark clouds below as I floated through the night.

Live Set written for an interactive building in Bangalore.The set represents the 'Meditative' mood of the house and contains three activity levels: low, medium and high.Each activity level has 5 parts and any can be played in any order within or across the activity levels. The house will determine a mood every 5 minutes or so and then the exact part and activity level will be triggered by participants exploring the house. 

I've rendered out an example of roughly once through all the parts of each activity level in order.

Jaaga - Meditative

I spent the week of 19-9 to 25-9 in Barcelona and one night as I was getting ready for bed there was this loud clanging sound coming from all around.  Although I'd done a 40K bike ride that day I got dressed again and went out too see what was going on.   

All over people were on their balconies banging pots and people told me it was because the Spanish Government had just announced they were sending thousands of police to Catalunya to stop the upcoming referendum.   

As I walked down Gran Via towards the University the street filled with people wearing flags, laughing, chanting, singing...Not just students, but a good number of middle age and older folks were on the streets as well.  Over the next few days I encountered more spontaneous protests all over the city and recorded them whenever I got the chance.  The Cacerolazos continued most nights in every neighborhood I happened to be in.

I left Catalunya before October 1st to make my way up to the norther coast of Spain but last night sat watching the news and President Rajoy's speech with my Basque friends, our hearts saddened by the violence perpetrated by the Spanish Government on it's own people, acting peacefully.  

This piece is a witness to what I experienced and my own small way of making noise to call attention to the unnecessary violence of yesterday.
