Robert Irwin and Eric Tillinghast

My friend Eric Tillinghast visited today, we had an excellent time drinking coffee, visiting museums and checking out the art at UCSD. I'm pretty pleased with these pics of Robert Irwin's work on campus...

Amsterdam 2012 Trip: May 14-16

The last few days at STEIM continued to be productive. My friend Iris van der Ende brought her harp in, and we were able to test out some spatialization ideas, as well as have her play with my improvising software. That Monday evening, was an epic night out with John Dikeman and Jasper Stadhouders...so much fun! Time spent at a great jenever bar in Centraal.

After my tourist shots, you'll see what I heard Tuesday evening: Jasper Stadhouder's "big" band...what fun...Wilbert de Joode, Ab Baars, Felicity Provan, Jasper, Mark Morse, Michael Moore, Michael Vatcher, Joost Buis...great gig and a lovely walk home. Flight back the next day.
