		<description><![CDATA[In a sub-basement deep below Brighton Town Hall, I&#8217;ll be using theremin, stories from the archives and my own automata to recall the lives of Britain’s self-styled nuclear survivalists. In the 1980s, while most of us lived in fear of Armageddon, this small band of enthusiasts prepared for nuclear war with relish, as though it was an extended, underground caravanning holiday. This surprising, strangely moving and sometimes darkly funny show is based on rarely seen discoveries from the British archives. I&#8217;ll be accompanied on the night by actor Colin Uttley and by Hugo, our dilapidated, robotic ventriloquial sidekick who will be reading government announcements. This show started as a 25 minute talk at the Catalyst Club, Brighton, and the Port Eliot Festival. It provoked a flood of memories and high emotion from audience members who grew up in the shadow of the bomb. That’s why I decided to create a full-length show for the Brighton Fringe, with music and automata. Nuclear missiles marked our lives, even though they remained in the silos &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping this show will get under the skin. 8pm Tues 7, Wed 8, Mon 13, Tues 14 and Wed 15 May Sub-basement Old Police Cells Museum [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three publications arrived through the post this month. Each includes some of my writing on music, technology and culture: Material Culture and Electronic Sound is a new book from the Smithsonian Institution Scholarly Press, edited by Frode Weium and Tim Boon, with a forward by Brian Eno. This is a beautiful book, with many photographs, and articles on the Auxetophone, technology and apparent effort in performance, the use of rediscovered objects in music making, the Oramics machine, the early reception of the Hammond organ and more. I&#8217;ve written a chapter on musicians&#8217; early attitudes to drum machines and samplers, comparing the introduction of these machines to the early days of talking pictures. The book includes contributions from Katy Price, David Toop, Mick Grierson, Aleks Kolkowski, Tim Boon, Frode Weium and several other researchers with a particular interest in sound. Working with performer and theatre historian Caroline Radcliffe, I&#8217;ve also contributed a paper to the journal Performance Research. Our paper concerns a Lancashire heel-and-toe clog dance from the nineteenth century in which female dancers directly mimicked the loom, mule, shuttle, governor and other mill machines around them. It was written for a special edition of the journal on labour. The full [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Brighton Festival Fringe is fast approaching and I&#8217;m hard at work, devising a new solo show Horlicks and Armageddon which will be taking place in a city sub-basement from 7-15 May. Here, I&#8217;ll be mixing music, film, robotics and readings from the archives to tell the little known story of Britain&#8217;s nuclear &#8216;survivalists&#8217;. In the 1980s, while most of us lived in fear of nuclear war, this secretive band of enthusiasts prepared for it with relish, as though it was an extended underground caravanning holiday. This show includes a musical performance in which sounds are triggered and modulated live by a Geiger counter sensing radioactive materials. I&#8217;m looking for someone with expertise in nuclear physics to cast an eye over this performance, in rehearsal, and offer some informal advice. I can offer a small fee for your time. If you&#8217;re from a progressive science communication institute who might be interested in sponsoring such a venture &#8211; I&#8217;d love to talk. Do get in touch!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 30 March, I&#8217;ll be performing live at Flatpack Festival, Birmingham, as one of a series of events celebrating the heyday of Birmingham Arts Lab. Here&#8217;s Alan Moore talking to Flatpack curators about arts labs in the 60s and 70s. With its lack of hierarchy, its collaborative working and an atmosphere which encouraged wild creativity, the arts lab scene has strong affinities with hacking and making culture today. My performance is one of a series curated by Vivid Projects. I&#8217;ll be playing live on theremin, laptop and other electronics, accompanied by my robots -  details coming soon. In the meantime, here&#8217;s a photo of one of my latest works: Wolfgang, a Kling Klang-inspired robot drummer. Wolfgang had his debut performance earlier this month at Spirit of Gravity, Brighton, and is one of the machines joining me on stage at Flatpack. 7pm Minerva Works, Digbeth Saturday 30 March Tickets £5  (plus £0.95 booking fee)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Brighton Fringe is fast approaching and here&#8217;s a round-up of the shows I&#8217;m bringing this year. There&#8217;s a solo show of archival oddities and music, exploring Britain&#8217;s 1980s nuclear survivalists; a Spacedog set at Jane Bom-Bane&#8217;s music café and a theremin jam with Leila Dear, curated by Strange Attractor and Disinformation. Horlicks and Armageddon This new, solo venture takes place in a sub-basement refuge, deep under the streets of Brighton. I’ll be using electronic music, automata and spoken word to recall the secret lives of Britain’s self-styled nuclear survivalists. In the 1980s, while most of us lived in fear of Armageddon, this small band of enthusiasts prepared for nuclear war with relish, as though it was an extended, underground caravanning holiday. This event includes rarely seen documents from the National Archives. 20:00: 7, 8, 13, 14 and 15 May 2013 Sub-basement, The Old Police Cell Museum, Bartholomew Square, Brighton BN1 Tickets £8.50/£6.50 Book on the Brighton Fringe website. &#160; Spacedog live An evening with human, theremin and robot trio Spacedog, in the delightful Brighton music café of Jane Bom-Bane, the musician with mechanical hats.

		<description><![CDATA[How do you write music for a love affair that blossoms in the arid setting of a clinical drugs trial? And how do you portray the head rush you experience when you fall in love or swallow a stimulant drug &#8211; that sense of heightened awareness and those rushes of excitement and panic that flood the mind and body? What sounds conjure the anxiety and visceral pain of depression or a dark, shared memory? These were problems I had to fathom last autumn, when I was invited by playwright Lucy Prebble and director Rupert Goold to write music for The Effect, Lucy’s new play. The Effect is a witty, surprising and moving play &#8211; a fascinating piece exploring sanity, neuroscience and the limits of medicine. Without giving too much of the plot away, it’s a chamber piece set on a clinical drugs trail, a modern love story. A co-production with Headlong, it opened at the National Theatre (Cottesloe) in November and will be running until the end of February. Found sounds The Cottesloe is a small theatre, with little room for live musicians, so I was asked to create a pre-recorded score. I knew I wanted to work with sounds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who shares my obsession with talking and singing birds might enjoy this juicy worm from Moon Wiring Club. Today Bread, Tomorrow Secrets is a new album from electronic artist Moon Wiring Club, exploring an uncanny world where humans and birds dine together at a bewitching, Edwardian post-theatre banquet. The album is available on CD and vinyl and curiously, different tunes are served up on each format.  The CD is packed with exquisite electronic tracks, in compound time signatures that lilt like a high Baroque dance suite. I appear on recorder, here and there, extemporising fragments of the kind of minuets and gigues that were taught to birds in the eighteenth century. The LP is largely cut from the same source material but is a more laid back affair, sans beats &#8211; an electronic lullaby of sorts. Moon Wiring Club told me about the album a few months ago, after hearing my Radio 4 documentary The Bird Fancyer&#8217;s Delight, in which I explored the curious practice of teaching birds to sing human tunes. Centuries before the invention of the iPod, the tape recorder or the Edison phonograph, trained birds were used in the home as primordial, feathered music machines. Caged [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has seen Lucy Prebble&#8217;s gripping new play The Effect may be curious to know more about the peculiar sonic undercurrent which is present at certain points in the drama. As this has been mentioned in a few reviews, I thought I should say a little more about it. Without going into too many details (and spoiling the, erm, effect), the strange sensation you&#8217;re experiencing is infrasound &#8211; an extreme bass sound which plays through the air and vibrates the seats, walls and other structures in the Cottesloe Theatre. Infrasonic notes are pitched so deep, they’re on the cusp of your perception. Descending in pitch from the bottom end of the piano into the infrasonic range is like stepping into the sonic abyss. Audible sound slips away as you drop further into the bass range and you&#8217;re left with a purely tactile sensation -  a sound you feel rather than hear. I&#8217;ve been experimenting with infrasound since around 2003, when I laced a concert in the Purcell Room with infrasonic pedal notes. I became curious about the musical effects of infrasound when I realised that some of the biggest pipes in cathedral organs were creating sounds so deep, they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apart from a few brief theremin performances, I&#8217;m stepping back from live shows over the next few weeks as I&#8217;m working intensively in the studio. This month, I&#8217;m composing music for The Effect, a sharp and witty new play by Lucy Prebble (writer of Enron). The Effect is a &#8216;clinical romance&#8217;, exploring the nature of love and sanity and the boundaries of neuroscience. The composition is somewhere between music and sound design &#8211; I&#8217;ve been engaged in a lot of last-minute Max/Msp wrangling to make the bleeps, clicks and drones of the laboratory and transform them into musical riffs. I&#8217;m working alongside the brilliant sound designer Chris Shutt &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping you can&#8217;t tell where his sounds end and mine begin. The Effect opens at the Cottesloe, National Theatre, on 13 November and runs until the end of February. It&#8217;s a joint production with Headlong and is directed by Rupert Goold. As soon as The Effect is open, I&#8217;m taking an excursion to Belbury. Spacedog are delighted to be working on a 7&#8243; single with Belbury Poly, due for release in early Spring 2013 as part of the Ghostbox Study Series. I&#8217;m also contributing to a code-based album and am [...]]]></description>

They asked for some music to celebrate so I put together something sparkly: a version of one of their favourite tunes (with apologies to Hot Butter), using samples from my Ealing Feeder (robotic carillon): If you came to Rocket Lolly, our evening of vintage science films in Edinburgh last April, you&#8217;ll have seen Project Moonbase make a rare visit to planet Earth. Their weekly podcasts are packed with electronic sounds, 8-bit ditties, library music and other exotica and are always worth a listen. Spacedog are hoping to team up with Project Moonbase in Edinburgh again soon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 12 October, along with my fellow Spacedogs and Professor Elemental, I&#8217;ll be fulfilling a life-long ambition to play electronica on the end of a pier.  We&#8217;re joining forces for the brand new Arts by the Sea Festival, Bournemouth. Book tickets here:  £7 (£6 concs.) or £12 (£10 concs.) for combined ticket with Paper Cinema Odyssey. As well as performing our own music, we&#8217;ll be asking the professor to join us for some rarely-heard acoustic versions of a song or two from his own repertoire &#8211; including a number about man owls. Ray Lee&#8217;s marvel, The Ethometric Museum, will also appearing at the festival. You can hear a taster of our set for free on Saturday 29 September when we&#8217;ll be playing at Cafe Flirt, Bournemouth (no booking required). We&#8217;ll be there with at 10:30pm with vocals, theremin, percussion and our famous uncanny robots. Do come!]]></description>

In some recent experiments, we&#8217;ve wired a mediaeval bell tree to live video projections so his bell strikes can control part of the show. You can see this small electrical wonder in action on Sunday 30 September, when we&#8217;ll be playing free in the Brighton Digital Festival closing party. Expect a set comprising theremin, wired percussion, robots, peculiar scientific films and wires.]]></description>

This clinical romance is a funny and moving piece exploring questions of sanity, neurology and the limits of medicine. It&#8217;s a co-production between Headlong and The National Theatre, directed by Rupert Goold. I&#8217;m composing music for this play, working alongside sound designer Christopher Shutt &#8211; a new and exciting venture for me.

		<description><![CDATA[Seen at this year&#8217;s Port Eliot Festival, the Odditorium is a collaboration with a handful of other salon speakers who share an interest in the arcane. The Odditorium is curated by David Bramwell, host of Brighton&#8217;s long-running Catalyst Club. David and I have performed together at The Last Tuesday Society, The Horse Hospital and TEDx &#8211; here&#8217;s how David describes our latest venture: &#8220;The Odditorium is a portal to the fringes of culture, its mavericks, pranksters, adventurers and occultists. Our team comprise Sony Award-winning broadcasters, musicians, best-selling authors, roboticists and comic-book heroes, here to share their passions through slide show lectures, musical performance, live experiments, audience participation and mischief.&#8221; At Port Eliot, I spoke about ventriloquism, early sound recording and the Victorian obsession with rehearing the voices of the dead, as I recorded a voice from the audience on wax using an original Edison phonograph. I also spoke about the bunker arrangements of self-styled 1980s nuclear survivalists and reprised my talk on musical and talking birds. &#160; Also on the bill were Sue Bradley, David Bramwell, Matthew Clayton, Tim Pilcher, Ross Gurney Randall and Colin Uttley. They spoke about postal art and pranks, the history of the ghost train, utopian [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to all of you who came to see Spacedog and Project Moonbase at Rocket Lolly this weekend. I had a wonderful time, playing theremin and sharing my archive of peculiar vintage science clips. As you can probably tell, I spend a lot of time in the archives, hunting for treasure. We&#8217;d love to take the show to other destinations so do get in touch if you&#8217;d like to host a Rocket Lolly evening at your venue or festival. Those of you who came to the show might be interested to hear this number from the archives again. It&#8217;s a wonderfully optimistic song about the future of women&#8217;s lives in the age of electricity, recorded in 1935 by the Norwich Corporation Electricity Department. The song features Helen Raymond and the Sydney Baynes Orchestra. It&#8217;s available from archive.org under a Creative Commons Licence.]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be there with fellow Spacedog Jenny Angliss, my theremin and a few of our robot pals. Our set will include a new number featuring The Ventricle, my ox blood red 1960s handbag which pulsates like a human heart. The Megadork is at the Showroom Cinema, Sheffield, 7pm, on Friday 23 March &#8211; see the Lovebytes website for tickets. On Saturday lunchtime, we&#8217;ll be performing for free in the Winter Gardens for the Lovebytes headphone festival. On Friday night, we&#8217;re sharing the bill with some very fine fellow hackers, including one of my heroes Paul Granjon. If you&#8217;ve never seen him in action, here&#8217;s an early film of him with his cybernetic parrot sausage&#8230; Curated by brilliant live coder Alex McClean, the Megadork is the latest offering from Dorkbot Sheffield.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back in Brighton after performing at QEDCon, a festival of talks and performances exploring science, technology and skepticism. Thanks so much to the organisers and volunteers for making the weekend run so smoothly &#8211; Stephen Hiscock and I had a fine old time. Those of you who saw my talk &#8216;Voices of the Dead&#8217; might enjoy this video. It features the voice recording I made on wax during the show, using an Edison phonograph. You can hear three voices. The first is Helen Chorley, reciting a poem, and the last is me, signing off. If any of you can pass on the name of the plucky individual who talks between Helen and me, I&#8217;d be really grateful. First demonstrated in 1877, the Edison phonograph is an entirely mechanical device, the first machine which could record and play back sound. As it uses no electronic amplification, people have to speak loudly with very good diction, directly into the phonograph horn, to make an intelligible recording. It&#8217;s fascinating to hear how contemporary voices take on a harsh, clipped quality &#8211; a sound we associate with Victorian speakers &#8211; when they&#8217;re recorded on this machine. Men tend to sound alarmingly like old [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Find Us is a miniature I&#8217;ve composed using sounds from the Voyager golden record. You can download it free as part of Soulless Party&#8217;s album Electronic Encounters &#8211; Special Edition. This year we&#8217;ll be celebrating two thirty-fifth birthdays. In November 1977, Columbia Studios released their blockbuster Close Encounters of the Third Kind, arguably the film with the most gratuitous use of the Arp 2500 modular synthesizer. And just a few weeks earlier, NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2, probes which took stunning images of the outer planets before taking a slingshot around Saturn and Neptune to journey out of the solar system. Voyager 2 is now around 11 billion miles from Earth, in the outer reaches of the heliosheath, the bubble of solar wind which envelopes the solar system. It will soon be out of the heliosheath and travelling into deep space. In case it&#8217;s intercepted, each Voyager probe carries an interstellar greeting message, etched onto a gold-plated copper phonograph record, along with instructions on how to play it. The message includes a wealth of sounds from planet Earth: greetings in 55 human languages, music from around the world, whale song, dog barks, thunder claps and other meteorological noises. There&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a thereminist who performs live with robots, the only time I suffer ukulele envy is when I have to set up or strike a show. After years of arm ache and stress before gigs, I&#8217;m trying to adopt the carefree life of the ukulele player by re-engineering my equipment so it can be carried on the bus, wheeled onto the stage, plugged into a DI box and played. The life of the ukulele player doesn&#8217;t need to be the stuff of fantasy &#8211; that&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve thrown myself into this re-engineering task &#8211; a job that&#8217;s unglamorous but essential. Currently, you&#8217;ll find me obsessing about flight cases and castors and pouring over ebay pictures of old prams. The first instrument to get the plug and play treatment is the Ealing Feeder, something I originally designed as an exhibition piece. I&#8217;m currently rebuilding it into a flightcase on wheels. If all goes well, I&#8217;ll be able to reinstate the responsive lighting effect I had in the original instrument &#8211; something I ditched long ago as it was so troublesome to take on the road. A video of the original Ealing Feeder from Roger Spy. I love performing live with the [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s called Juice for the Baby and you can listen to the whole album, download it or buy a physical CD here. Spacedog creates live music for theremin, vocals, saw, percussion and our famous uncanny musical robots. Our work reflects our obsessions with defunct machines, faded variety acts and the darkest English folk tales. The album is packed with my original compositions, as well as our unusual takes on some of the darkest English folksongs. We&#8217;ve been honing our live set for many years and have packed all our favourite numbers onto the album. The Electric Lullaby, For Laika and Submariner are among them &#8211; you&#8217;ll hear me playing theremin, saw and keyboards alongside Stephen Hiscock&#8217;s percussion and Jenny Angliss&#8217; exquisite vocals. We&#8217;re delighted to be joined by some wonderful guest voices, including the marvellous Professor Elemental, who performs an owlish number with us; anarcho-dandy pin-up Michael &#8216;Atters&#8217; Attree who reads from MR James; Colin Uttley who gives a beautiful rendition of Submariner; Flora Dempsey who speaks some eerie lines from The Wife of Ushers Well and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Pod Delusion is a fine, weekly podcast about science, skepticism and other interesting things. And this week, I&#8217;ve contributed a short piece on the phonograph &#8211; a taster of my talk at the Fortean Times Unconvention. You can hear it on the Pod Delusion site from Friday morning (11 November 2011). The 7 minute piece starts with some curious words used by Florence Nightingale as she laid down her voice on a wax cylinder for the first time in 1890. If you enjoyed this taster, you can hear the whole talk at the Unconvention, Camden Centre, London, on Saturday 12 November. During the talk, I&#8217;ll also be performing on the theremin and recording a voice from the audience on wax, using an original Edison phonograph. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

Do come to our gigs at the Marlborough Theatre, Brighton, on Friday 9 December, and the Horse  Hospital, London, on Wednesday 14 December, and help us celebrate the launch. We&#8217;ve been hard at work, recording and editing our favourite numbers &#8211; Ekranoplan, the Electric Lullaby and the Tommy Cooper song among them. And we&#8217;re thrilled to have some distinctive guest voices who will be adding some wonderful spoken word into the mix. One is our dear friend, the brilliant Professor Elemental, who will be performing as you&#8217;ve never heard him before. The others we&#8217;re busting to tell you about but have decided to keep tip-top secret until the release. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On 12 November, I&#8217;m delighted to be joining experts on the sasquatch, hermeticism and Gef the Talking Mongoose at the The Fortean Times Unconvention. Jon Ronson will be talking about The Psychopath Test, Jan Bondeson will be discussing some canine intellectuals and Gail-Nina Anderson will be presenting her popular history of the Egyptian mummy. I&#8217;ll explore some of the stranger obsessions of the early adopters of sound recording as I immortalise a voice from the audience by recording it on wax, using an original Edison Standard Phonograph. I&#8217;ll also discuss a little-known sound recording method, one which was used to bring popular music into the home, 150 years before the phonograph. And I&#8217;ll reveal some outlandish experiments with radio, from the early 1920s, as I play some live aether music on the theremin, accompanied by fellow Spacedog Stephen Hiscock and Hugo, my ventriloquial sidekick. I&#8217;m excited to hear that Nina Conti, comedian and ventriloquist, will be at the Uncon on Sunday 13 November, showing a film of Ken Campbell&#8217;s work with ventriloquy. Many years ago, I saw Ken perform his show on &#8216;knee pals&#8217; &#8211; his work has always been an inspiration. This year, the Uncon will also be presenting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This must be how it feels to see a unicorn. Six months ago, I came face to face with a machine I&#8217;d read about often but never expected to see. A one-off invention, this oddity had been a dreamlike presence in my life, hovering into my consciousness at unexpected moments, something I imagined but couldn&#8217;t fully sketch in my mind. I&#8217;d dreamed of it since I was ten, a time when I was obsessing over a cassette tape my dad had given me. On it were some electronic sounds he&#8217;d recorded from the radio &#8211; sound pieces composed by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. I was already playing music by the age of ten &#8211; reading the dots as I lolloped my way through the odd score. And unusually for a girl in the 70s, I was quite the inventor. Rather than conforming to stereotype and tucking my dollies up in bed, I was tying them into ski lifts (cardboard boxes) and winching them across the garden using Meccano and string. My sister Jenny and I had annexed my poor old dad&#8217;s record collection and were recording excerpts, fading them in and out and adding little voiceovers to create imaginary radio [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m taking my theremin, phonograph and robot pal Hugo to Manchester in March for QED, a two day festival of skepticism and popular science. There are some fine speakers on the bill, Maryam Namazie, Steve Jones, Ophelia Benson, David Aaronovitch and Robin Ince among them. I&#8217;ll be exploring some of the stranger obsessions of early adopters of sound recording as I immortalise a voice on wax, using an original Edison phonograph. And I&#8217;ll be delving into the archives to reveal a bizarre, long-forgotten recording method that was used to bring music into the home 150 years before the phonograph. QED Con is a celebration of rational thinking that&#8217;s also a fundraiser for Sense about Science and a charity very close to my heart: The National Autistic Society.]]></description>

I'll be performing with my fellow Spacedogs, participating in a pecha kucha session and running a drop-in workshop on optical flow.

		<description><![CDATA[Spacedog are thrilled to be participating in Sonus, an homage to the analogue age and incandescent light for the Rushes Soho Shorts Festival. Filmed in a secret location in Chelsea, this short film was devised by Arthertz and filmed by Ridley Scott Associates. It explores many of our shared obsessions with early analogue technology (as outlined in my recent talk Ghost Radio). Here is a preliminary still from the film shoot, showing Spacedog vocalist Jenny Angliss as the medium, channelling 'the other side'. I'll be providing some incidental music, composed of theremin, radio static, with Stephen Hiscock on bells...]]></description>

But were birds ever used as primordial, feathered music recorders? Did we use them to bring popular music into our homes on command before the advent of the phonograph, the gramophone and radio?...]]></description>

In this brand new night of music and robotics, Spacedog summon the spirit of John Logie Baird as we perform with flickering projections, created live on our working reconstruction of Baird's original Televisor. 

You can catch the Spacedog Televisor set one more time at Bom-Bane's, Brighton's friendliest and most diminutive venue, Tuesday 24 May. Here, we'll squeeze in the theremin, vocals, percussion and our famous, uncanny musical robots. Spacedog's music will be given an an extra kick from tip-top percussionist Stephen Hiscock (Ensemble Bash).]]></description>

Do let me know if you spot any other midi triumphs &#8211; I think this has the makings of a fine album. This mp3 of the ringtone shows you how it plays on my Mac, using General Midi. If you want to investigate the ringtone yourself and make your own version, there are copies on various sites. Here&#8217;s one version of the original Kraftwerk song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK5_BrTUXjE UPDATE Following a tip-off from Stuart Childs (see below), here&#8217;s a ringtone version of that Beastie Boy&#8217;s stomp Intergalactic. Stuart mentions the interesting timing &#8211; I also love the florid midi guitar. The original ringtone is here &#8211; do download for your own experiments. http://www.sarahangliss.com/supposedToBeIntergalactic.mp3 And here&#8217;s the original Beastie Boys number: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qORYO0atB6g]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some Christmas fun, I added ten bright, white LEDs to the petticoat 0f this 1950s-style dress so I could move around parties in my own pool of light. You can see the dress in action in this video, taken in Brighton on a very snowy night in 2010. The electric dress has already survived a couple of parties and I'm planning to wear it to some future Spacedog gigs.]]></description>

		<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. 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>

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>

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.

		<description><![CDATA[It's the press launch tonight of the Brighton Festival Fringe. 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.  Marlborough Theatre, 5 May 2010.

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>

Thanks to everyone who came along to the Arthertz stand at the Kinetica Art Fair and said 'hello'. The Ealing Feeder survived admirably and is now back in my workshop until its next outing. Coming soon to the Brighton Festival Fringe and Battersea Power Station...]]></description>

Stay posted for more news of this hugely exciting event, including ticket details.

		<description><![CDATA[Here's an Edison phonograph recording, freshly made at the London Dorkbot Christmas party, December 2009.

Dorkbot is a meeting for 'people doing strange things with electricity' so the phonograph is an odd guest as it records and playback sounds using no electricity at all. As you can see when I lift the lid (see video), this machine is entirely mechanical.  You turn up a handle to wind up a spring. This unfurls over several minutes, supplying the Edison with energy. Sound recordings are made using nothing more than a heavy stylus and a horn...

		<description><![CDATA[An utterly chilling poem that I stumbled on today. It's from the pages of The Electrical Age, a pioneering gadget magazine, produced from the early 1930s by the Electrical Association for Women:

Hushaby! baby. Mother is near,
Don't you cry, precious, take an ampere,
Cuddle down, sweet, near the dynamo's brush,
The current will put you to sleep with a rush....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Finally someone has released a rather fantastic mind reading app that genuinely triggers that “wow – how did you do that?” response.” Phillis, Derren Brown Blog. Ever wanted to read someone&#8217;s mind? With Telepath, you can convince almost anyone you&#8217;re a mind reader. Telepath is a new mind-reading iPhone app that the talented Richard Wiseman and I are releasing today. The idea is simple:  Someone chooses a picture and mentally sends their thoughts to the iPhone. When they turn over the iPhone, they&#8217;ll be astounded to discover their thoughts on the screen. Here&#8217;s Telepath in action &#8230; I hope you like it! This is my first foray into the worlds of app development, Objective C  and ESP. As we say in the video, Telepath can also be used to predict numbers, cute animals, cards and dates &#8211; so can even improve your love life. Feel free to guess how it might work &#8211; and if you buy the trick from the app store, let us know what you think (but please don&#8217;t give away the method!). Update: Thanks to all of you who have mentioned the app and given it a try. We&#8217;re so glad to hear so many of [...]]]></description>
