I always love Bloomsday, and tend to forget that it’s coming. But each year that it does come around and I remember how profoundly and deeply I love this book.
It is truly the ultimate novel, something for everyone – brilliantly complex, engaging and gorgeous. Joyce had a profound influence on my work, mostly through the early (in my life) lens of John Cage’s utter devotion to Finnegan’s Wake.
I still haven’t made it all the way through Finnegan’s Wake, but I am continually enthralled by Ulysses. Listen to a section of Ulysses after the Jump »

I’ve just uploaded a new audio sample of Aqua Madora. The video on the page is still from the Permanent Wilting performance with Dani Beauchamp dancing. I’ve added a sample of the “Table” section of the Triplicate performance which was expertly recorded by Mike Rugnetta here.
I’m also including the sample after the jump. here

I’ve just posted the full length recording of Doleo Æternus on this page: ISIM Recording
The recording turned out quite well, and I want to say a big thank you to all of the performers who played so beautifully.
Take a listen.

Hot Karl
I never got around to posting links last week – we were performing Doleo Æternus at the ISIM conference and it was completely insane.
There is a Flickr gallery of images we took during our trip to Denver here and more coverage will be coming as we get images from the ISIM and finalize a recording for your listening pleasure.
In the meantime – here are this weeks sporadic and miscellaneous links:
Hot Karl action on Racked Racked is hosting a Karl Lagerfeld photoshop contest. It is epic and fantastic.
Mike Rugnetta’s YouTube page has tons of interesting videos Mike and Patrick have made
Michael Wiltbank’s stunning photo project was censored by BYU – it is a fantastic idea with beautiful pictures [via]

I’m sitting in the Denver airport on my way home from performing Doleo Æternus on Friday evening. It was a really interesting experience. Mike Rugnetta and Amali Premawardhana were fantastic. They played beautifully and I can’t wait to hear the recordings. Even though the performance is over, I still haven’t seen Ana’s video. I know we ended together and I’ve heard there were some fantastic moments of synchronicity.
I’ll be posting clips and sound samples soon.
I want to say a big Thank You to Mike and Amali, to Ana, to the Playground Ensemble, and to Kate and Conrad and everyone at DU and the ISIM. It was a great experience and I’m sure I’ll look back on this as the catalyst in the next phase of this piece.
