BEAM 2011 – Saturday pt 1

The end of my time at BEAM today, part one:
Petcha Cutcha thing – ‘listened to various participants talking for three mins about their work. The session was pretty badly organised, unfortunatley, and people didn’t have ppts set up properly, just a bunch of single slides in a folder. it got a bit painful watching the tech trying to do stuff on the mac – he was obviously not a mac person…
anyway, DJ Sniff said something really interesting along the lines of ‘building electronic instruments is a good way to become a good electronic musician’. Brilliant. After the presentations, the two chairs opened the session up to discussion, i left part way through the first weary question from the audience.
Here’s a pic of a piano:
