    Greenland
    I've been making feeble attempts to go through a few thousand travel pictures and will be uploading a few to my galleries soon.

    Here are some aerial shots taken near the southern coast of Greenland a couple of months ago. On your next transatlantic flight, be sure to watch for these vast snowscapes, barren mountains, forbidding glaciers, and frozen lakes!

    On Thursday I went to see a free performance at the UT Union Ballroom by Saul Williams. Overall the show wasn't as solid as the last one I saw, but it featured a nice blend of humor and gravity. I took several pictures before my battery died, including these:

    Wow, for once a positive (though brief) opinion of my music from Frans de Waard at Vital Weekly:

    "AUSTINNITUS AUDIO SERIES (various MP3 releases)
    Perhaps I should, or perhaps I shouldn't ashamed, but I was in Austin fifteen years ago, and I don't remember much about it. I think we did our laundry. But Austin is a vibrant city of new music, or so Josh Ronsen tells us. He manages a website, nicely named Austinnitus, which not only provides the interested with links to local artists, but there is also a page where you can actually download music for free from (some of) these musicians. I haven't heard them all, but Ronsen send me a CDR of nine excerpts of these pieces. There was the total free jazz of EFCA, which I didn't care for at all. Thomas Fang's crackle of shortwave and electronics sounded much more interesting. It's somewhere between these two outer limits that things move here, but, fair is fair, more microsound than improvisation - or, rather microsound generated through methods of improvisation, but still sounding micro, such as the dream ambient (with esoteric vocals) by Book Of Shadows, Carlo Pozo's delicate drones or Cory Allen's more simple version there of. Lisa Cameron has a great piece of percussion and electronics which is very quiet and so is the piece for oboe, clarinet, chimes and electronics by Ronsen/Green. It's that I have much music on my plate already, but it's surely worth downloading these names." (FdW)

    The aforementioned free mp3 files are here:

    My track is a live excerpt from the Lovecraft-inspired performance in January at the Opera House.
