Inspired by Radio Cycle, 2003, the Marvelo project will be activated by a collaboration between a group of young Folkestone residents and Kaffe, to make a suite of works for radios, maps and bicycles, carried played and performed by visitors to Folkestone during hte 3 month exhibition. The group will explore routes, mapping personal histories within the context of the town, scoring new sound pieces from their stories and encounters, marking and drawing on local maps, replacing notes written on a traditional musical stave.

Unfortunately I had bicycle accident in London the night before leaving so was tipped onto the plane from a wheelchair with a fractured elbow and knee like a melon so that combined with jetlag, lecture giving time the next day was not as had been anticipated. Thanks to Marina Rosenfeld for the invitation, David Behrman, Maryanne Amacher, George Lewis and Barbara Esse for inspiring company.

Having stayed away for 3 years, it was good to be back and having decided to, strangely bearable to finally acquiesce and hand over iris scans and finger prints to the US government.

Wednesday 19th - 27th: In residence in New York to make "Viewing_1", a stereo work for the World Financial Plaza.(WFP)
Developed walking and mapping technique for score making initialized through London May Taxi Commission. However, damaged bike accident knee and site shockingly being the WFP rather than Battery Park as had been agreed, resulted in a much more static and observatory role in both picture and sound. Financiers on lunch breaks and enthusiastic tourists combined with residents and dogs working out in this soul-less corporate nothing space of hard surfaces: I worked with sky searching clouds of horns and strings and glass bent tones indented by snippets of eavesdropping. Inspiring to be wokring small in headphones and stereo for ear listening whilst walking rather than bum rubbing whilst lying.

For Public Sounds Exhibition, 15th to 20th August 2007. A Roulette commission.
