Last day of the Underbelly Arts Lab

We're pushing ahead, trying to get our Underbelly project finished by tomorrow. I'm now able to manipulate my vocal effects using gloves and the visual output is projected onto the geodesic dome as smoke. The result is a far more expressive performance, as I can use my hands to 'draw' the sound rather than sit behind a laptop mumbling into a microphone.

Now we just need to finish the mixing surface so that Nick can mix individual tracks during the performance. We are all severely sleep deprived by the two weeks of intense experimentation but also buoyed by all the exciting projects going on during Underbelly.

We appeared as part of a story on the festival on ABC News last night, and also got a mention in this Herald article:

We are performing at 6:30 on Saturday 12 July and 6:00 on Sunday 13 July.
