		<description><![CDATA[In December 1877, a journalist writing in Scientific American noted there was a now 'a startling possibility of recording voices of the dead'. He had just witnessed Edison recording sound on his new invention: the phonograph.

In this live demonstration, I'll explore some of the stranger obsessions of the early adopters of audio recording, as I immortalise a voice from the audience by recording it on wax, using an original Edison Standard Phonograph.

Delving into the archives, I'll also examine a little-known curiosity from the eighteenth century, one which may have been used to record short segments of sound 150 years before the phonograph.

This event will include some short, musical interludes incorporating a few of my inventions. As I use the theremin to conjure up 'music from the aether', I'll reveal how the first 'electric servants' were also seen as tools for paranormal investigation.

At The Last Tuesday Society, 10 December 2010.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you ever thought artists like Kraftwerk were the first to embrace the machine aesthetic in their dance and music, this curiosity might interest you.

This fascinating dance piece uses steps that directly mimic the sounds and actions of mill machines. Although these steps were danced a century ago by female cotton mill workers, they seem strangely ahead of their time, forerunners of today's machine-inspired dance music. You can think of this dance as steam-powered Kraftwerk - or techno 80 years before Detroit.

We'll be performing The Machinery live in the Central Library, Birmingham UK, 13:30 prompt on Saturday 18 September , admission free . For the British Science Festival 2010.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Uncanny Valley is coming to the Hen &#038; Chickens Theatre, 26-28 August 2010. 

Musicians play live with decrepit dolls, theremins and robots in this eerie entertainment, exploring our fears of the almost human – from golems to ventriloquists’ dummies.

Hot from their sell-out run on the Brighton Festival Fringe, dreamlike musical and mechanical inventors Spacedog join forces with gentleman rapper Professor Elemental, known for his YouTube sensation Cup of Brown Joy, a paean to the pleasures of drinking tea.

Death ballads, unsettling live robotics and tales of the professor’s extreme taxidermy experiments. Read more for ticket details...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ghosts and machines, as they were imagined in the early 1920s, when Lankins slid under window panes and families soothed their babies with Amperes from the first electric servants.

Spacedog will be playing a selection of death ballads, darkest folk songs and twisted takes on the European song book, featuring theremin, vocals, robotic dolls, waterphone, saw and assorted electronic oddities. With spellbinding visuals from Roger Spy and Dennis Da Silva. This event is an ArtHertz collaboration for the Soho Shorts Festival. The show will include a live performance from dolly therematrix Clara 2.0 and the Ealing Feeder, my new robotic bell rig, first seen at the Kinetica 2010 Art Fair.

At the Apple Store, Regent Street, London, 5pm 23 July . Admission free but booking essential.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can an archaic bird training manual - published two centuries ago -  shed light on a mystery of avian intelligence which puzzles biologists today?

I think it might do - and I'll be explaining all in a 15-minute talk at Dr Bramwell's Catalyst Club, Thursday 8 July. Expect some evolutionary biology and live 18th-century music, wrapped up with some Easy Listening and contemporary neuroscience in this evening for the curious. ]]></description>

Here are a some technical notes and snaps of these objects, taken rather hastily during my visit. I've also plundered YouTube for examples of these machines in action...]]></description>

This year, Spacedog are teaming up with Professor Elemental to bring you a delightfully unsettling evening, probing our very human fears of the almost human, from zombies to ventriloquists’ dummies.

Accompanied by our home-spun musical robots, we'll be singing songs of love, death and the uncanny as we explore the darkest reaches of your mind. With theremins, taxidermy and strange automata...]]></description>
