TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 7:00, At the FLYING SAUCER CAFE in BROOKLYN - AYA KARPINSKA and TIM PETERSON (See below for details) *** AYA KARPINSKA Aya Karpinska's research and creative work focus on the impact of technology on artistic practice, in particular computer-mediated music and literature. Her diverse output includes computer music, fiction, poetry, web and graphic design, and game design. She recently performed at Tonic in New York City with her electronic music instrument, container for sound. Ms. Karpinska received her Master's degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University. http://www.technekai.com/aya/ notes for container for sound A box containing sounds waiting to be released. The performer unleashes the composition by opening doors, flapping them like wings to manipulate sound samples. This electronic instrument was built to explore new interfaces for musical expression. Although it was designed to be simple to play, the performer's physical gestures translate into a wide musical palette. More information on the development of this instrument can be found at: http://www.technekai.com/aya/nime/ TIM PETERSON Tim Peterson currently lives in Somerville, Massachusetts. He attended Wesleyan University where he majored in art history and then went on to get his MFA at The University of Arizona. He currently works at M.I.T. Press. This is Tim's first poetry reading in New York, and to mark this event Portable Press at Yo-Yo Labs published his debut chapbook titled CUMULUS. The Flying Saucer Cafe series pares up new media artists with poets who instead of giving a reading present a talk relating to their poetry and ideas. Tim's talk is titled "Spontaneous Generation." It focuses on writing a gender by writing a world, and it also deals with issues of private language, the dialogic, and spatial metonymy: issues concerning Peterson's identity and his writing process. He says of this, "the two poles of understanding are on the one hand the urge "to be some body," an ideal self enforced by society, and on the other hand the limiting specificity of the question: whose body? in what situation?" *** THE FLYING SAUCER READING/MEDIA SERIES We will be having readings the first Tuesday of each month (August an exception). Please come and support us! Contact Brenda Iijima or Alan Sondheim for further information.

Sherry Miller Hocking is the Assistant Director of the Experimental Television Center. The Center acheives its' primary mission "to support the creation of work using new electronic media technologies, by providing space and time to artists for personal, self-directed creative investigations" through its' residency program. From the Center's first artist in residence, Nam June Paik, to the most recent artists, ETC has operated for over 30 years, committed to supporting and fostering work in an exceptional environment dedicated to experimentation and the development of artist-built tools and systems. Sherry Miller Hocking has worked with the Center from the second year of its' operation. As Assistant Director of the Center, she has worked on and organized conferences, screenings, exhibitions and events, from those that defined the initial possibilities, constraints and dimensions of early Video Art to more recent reflective efforts such as the Video History: Making Connections conference, which she organized with independent preservation consultant Mona Jimenez. In addition, she acts as the Project Director of the Center's Video History Project, an online resource for the documentation, study and preservation of early Video Art. This database driven application/platform began in 1994 and invites contributions to the protection of endangered or marginalized histories and the development of a "dynamic and inclusive" model for contemporary media art historicization. /* ======================= * v.002.1x532.pL * ======================== */ Peter Luining builds artware and interactive pieces which engage with art historical traditions and function as playful tools for the performance of live audio-visual media. As the founder of L-Foundation and ctrlaltdel.org, he has distributed his artwares, click environments, soundengines and audio-visual instruments since 1995. Working as the curator of the net.art exhibition NetAffects, he developed an exhibition which @ a critical time, foregrounded "the developments of autonomous work worldwide, with a specific interest in the situation in the Netherlands". As an artist and performer, he has contributed to the emerging activity of soundengine authoring while operating from a position deeply informed by his philosophic, aesthetic and conceptual concerns. His background in commercial music video direction and VJ culture, has made him especially sensitive to and interested in the relationships between perfomers and audiences, interfaces and artists and sound and image in responsive systems. /* ======================= * SYSTEM.REQUIRES * ======================== */ The criticalartware interviews with Sherry Miller Hocking and Peter Luining require Windows Media Player and are available as video and/or audio streams for various connection speeds. Internet Explorer is the recommended browser for these resources. /* ======================= * APPLAT.FUNCTIONALITY * ======================== */ Version 002.1x532 also introduces new functionality to the criticalartware application/platform including a new discourse() feature and a traceroute feature which maps recent network activity. /* ======================= * OPEN.CONNECTION * ======================== */ http://www.criticalartware.net /* ======================= * END.MESSAGE * ======================== */ If you are not interested in receiving criticalartware updates simply email: goodbye@criticalartware.net ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2003 00:26:12 +0300 From: "J.

Sentinel is about seven years old but as As this is only the second electronic edition I felt a little explanation about what SenTinel is would be helpful' I am a successful songwriter and producer with my own studio. For many years I have been recording top quality song demos for songwriters under the name of ST Media. About seven years ago one of those writers, Terry Kew volunteered to edit a newsletter for all the ST Media writers and it proved very popular.. This year when the new subscription date arrived we decided that, since most of the writers were now on e-mail, we would save the rain forests and send the magazine out electronically. This means many of you will be receiving this for the first time. We hope you enjoy it! Up to now the paper based magazine was delivered through mailboxes in the UK. This means that many of you may find the content very English. Hopefully many of you will be moved to send in news, articles, reviews, comments, lyrics, requests for collaborators etc from your part of the world so that we may have a truly international flavour to SenTinel. If you wish to send anything for inclusion in future editions please send it to sentinel@stmedia.org. Remembering the print version we will from time to time include a colour supplement that you can download that will contian pictures and stuff we can't include in this text only e-mail version. Thank you for subscribing. Steve Thompson Songwriter/Producer Celine Dion, Elkie Brooks Sara Brightman, Elaine Page etc http://www.stmedia.org ============================================================ Editorial by TERRY KEW ============================================================ After my short break, I would like to say welcome to the August issue of SenTinel. We will feature more international articles that will appeal more to the International readership as well as some home grown ones for UK based writers. Surfers will tell you that there are a lot of songwriting magazines out there even more websites and so with a bit of luck, I will piece together some interesting addresses and also give you some information as to where to get your songs heard. Artists looking for songs will also be a feature so we will keep you posted if we hear of any artist looking for new material. The charts seem to be dominated with re-makes of old and classic songs so there is definitely a dearth of new material and ST Media have a strong family of songwriters creating new music. Last month saw the completion of my own album project, "The Struggling Writer" and the reviews are still coming in and I must see that I am extremely encouraged. One writer has written in to say that he is taking the album on holiday, which is high praise indeed. The album is now available and looks good. You can buy this album for just £5.00 post free. You can contact me via the ST Studio or e-mail me at muffinmusic@aol.com. Now that this magazine is going out via e-mail to a lot more people. I hope that many of you will e-mail your feedback and of course any contributions that you would like to go into the magazine. Enjoy the rest of the magazine ============================================================ SONGLINK TIP OF THE MONTH ============================================================ Each month Songlink kindly provide us with a FREE tip of the month.

WE DON'T DEMO SONGS WE S.T. THEM! ============================================================ Dry Times (or Once Around The Block) by Rob Woodard ============================================================ Many (I wonder if it's most) writers, whether they work with songs, poems, short stories, novels or plays, suffer a 'dry spell' or 'writer's block' at some point in their careers. There are many reasons for this (perhaps as many reasons as there are writers!) and certainly too many to list here, but I guess some of the principal and recurring ones are pressures and demands on a writer's time by work or family commitments; a change in the writer's lifestyle, attitude or environment; being emotionally distressed; a loss of confidence or a lack of success; being stuck in a rut etc. etc. For a lot of writers the reason may be totally inexplicable! You just lose the songwriting muse; the spark fails to ignite you anymore. Whatever the reason though, and depending on the length of the inactivity, a dry spell is worrying to the writer. A writer may sense that he/she is completely burnt out/dried up and may despair that he/she will ever write again. For a writer then who genuinely loves writing and needs that outlet for emotional release and self-expression, a writer's block can be extremely traumatic and genuinely distressing. What about the experiences of professional songwriters? Their very livelihood depends on their ability to keep writing good songs. Perhaps their experiences may offer us some explanation or consolation. One of the best brief discourses on writer's block comes from American singer- songwriter Suzanne Vega: I hadn't written in two years, since I wrote 'Luka'. 'Cause so much had happened in my life that it took a while to find the rhythm of writing again and get my confidence back. My career had gotten in the way of work. I was trying to write, and I couldn't come up with anything, and I felt horrible and horribly impotent. 'Cause the more I would try to write the more I would feel like I was just doing nothing. >From the article 'Vive La Vega' by Steve Pond, Rolling Stone magazine (n.d.) Certainly the case with Vega is that her songwriting muse came back. Writers always hope that it will, but with many there is that nagging doubt in the backs of their minds that they've lost it forever. There is no sure-fire remedy for the cursed block but there are techniques and practices, which may help. 1. Force yourself to write. Set aside a regular time to write, either with pen and paper or with a musical instrument. At these times go over some of your older, completed songs. Recall how, why, where and when they were written. Read them. Play them. Sing them. Look in your notebook at any unfinished lyrics or tunes. Can they be reworked or edited? Can a number of unfinished songs be combined to make one song? While the inspiration to write new songs might not be coming you may still be able to 'polish off' incomplete older material. 2. Immerse yourself in different/new kinds of music. Seek diversity! Be eclectic. New melodies, rhythms, styles and instruments may create a spark, lyrically or musically. 3. Do lots of walking! Many writers from William Wordsworth to Virginia Woolf have been devoted walkers. Plenty of songwriters have been too. Oscar Hammerstein II was a devotee of walking and has said so in print. The relaxation, change of scenery, new observations etc. may be beneficial to your songwriter. And it'll help your fitness too! Pete Townshend believes in the benefits of walking but he obviously doesn't believe in writers' block: But ideas for songs come from an inner thing. You have to need to share, to communicate for some reason. What you write about comes from what you see and do. It doesn't come from space. If you're short of ideas get your ass up and go walk around in the city. You'll get an idea in fifteen seconds. >From the book Written in Your Soul by Bill Flanagan (Contemporary Books, Chicago & New York 1987) 4. Watch 'live' performers, especially those performing new or original music - You may hear a line, a title, a riff, a tune, a whole song which really affects you, moves you, inspires you. 5. Take a breather, a change of scene, a short holiday (and that's not always easily done), or even just a Sunday drive somewhere completely different. 6. Talk to other songwriters. Again, they may motivate you, encourage you, collaborate with you etc. etc. 7. Don't get too despondent and think you'll never write another song. Believe it's only a period of inactivity which will pass and that your writing talent will re-emerge. Perhaps you might try a new hobby, pastime or interest while your songwriting is 'on hold'. 8. Read widely - fiction, history, current events, poetry, biographies of musicians and songwriters you admire etc. A line, idea, comment, piece of knowledge may enthuse you to write about it. Try reading interviews with and articles on songwriters and see how they approach their writing. You may find out how they deal with song writing droughts and come across pearls of wisdom like this one from Sting and which seems like a good place to cease my waffle: I see songwriting very much as a craft, which is learned by trying to handle almost every style. And once you've got your chops together, songwriting is a modular system. You chop, you change. I'm quite adept at writing songs. What you can never be adept at is being in tune with inspiration. That's the Great Accident, the Great Imponderable. I used to get so terrified of not being able to write a song. "What am I going to write about? I'm totally empty of ideas and inspiration." And then I realized after about five years of this terrible block that some of the time you have to be on 'input'. You just have to receive and then retransmit it and hope it comes out as something else. >From the article 'The Rolling Stone Interview: Sting' by David Fricke Rolling Stone magazine. n.d. (c) Copyright Rob Woodard. October 1990 Rob Woodard has written reviews for a number of publications. He has also written plays and enjoys walking for inspiration. ============================================================ Words From ST Steve Thompson ============================================================ Into Battle - ------------ Many of you may well know about this by my postings around the Internet so I apologise for droning on! I got an e-mail out of the blue this January from a total stranger who informed me that in 1983 one of my songs was recorded by Celine Dion. I have since found it on numerous compilation CD's on current release and thanks to her fans have exhaustive lists of vinyl, cassette and CD releases world wide. You may find it strange but my first thought was not for 20 years of missing royalties but for missed career opportunities. Also there was the obvious fact that my demo service would most probably have benefited too. Look at it this way, if you are a writer contemplating having someone produce a demo for you and you find a guy whose demos have been cut by one of the worlds biggest acts it's bound to make an impression, right? Well. it's now eight months since I brought this to my former publishers attention and I am no further forward. I am therefore about to instigate legal proceedings. I therefore can't talk too much about this right now but I will print below some opinions from key industry figures who have given me their views on this. =========================================================== Pete Waterman - ------------- I was somewhat disappointed by your e-mail. I am shocked, like you, that he would forget he had a cover by Celine Dion, I wish I could forget such things. I would have thought it not an inconsequential amount. I think your fight should be from the restoration of your royalties and the interest lost in that period. Jimmy Webb - ----------- Dear Steve, In my opinion there is no way to overestimate the positive effect that a cover by an artist of Celine Dion's stature could have on a songwriter's career. It could literally be a turning in the road toward a whole different and more positive future were this fact used as a creative tool to enhance the songwriters visibility and reputation. Andrew Gold - ----------- It is totally outrageous. Your career AND the royalties were adversely affected by this. Your publisher at the time, royalty societies BMI or ASCAP, Celine's record label...all is at fault I think Colin Blunstone - ---------------- I have always been a huge admirer of Steve Thompson's songs. I believe that if he had been correctly credited with writing a song for an artist of the stature of Celine Dion, his standing as a composer would have been greatly enhanced.. It is incredible that he has had to wait twenty years for the recognition he so richly deserves. =========================================================== Remembering The 80's - -------------------- A webmaster got in touch with me recently asking if I would write and article for his website Metal Gods. I'm afraid I have to own up to having been a heavy metal producer in the late 70's early 80's and I found bands on his site that I have no recollection of being in the studio with! Anyway I began the article and it grew and grew. It's remarkable how much you remember once you start to write it all down. Anyway, unless there is a howl of protest. I'll start to serialise it here. There is some funny shit in there! The earlier Senintels carried some of my auto biographical stuff and If Terry still has the files maybe we could run that too. I used to feel a bit uncomfortable talking about myself but I've found if it's done in a non egotistical way people can be quite interested. Octorama - Far from the 3 minute pop song! - ------------------------------------------ Last year I designed an exhibition space for a digital arts event that took place this Feb. It consisted of a 14- meter diameter installation into which the public could enter and see eight large projections and hear 8 sound sources. The event was a huge success and as a result I have designed the successor to this installation, which will be more portable and more interactive. It has just competed a run of four days in Stockton UK. The sound in the first exhibition consisted of complementary ambient sounds, eg children playing, running water. The new installation featured a program of different exhibitions including the original one but this time I decided to write a piece of "music" to work in an environment like this and I called it "Time, Space And Reality" I worked on the music using Propellerheads "Reason" software and a Terretec 8 output soundcard. I have this setup in my studio so I worked on a piece that had different notes, beats and samples coming from 8 different speakers within the installation. In my studio I had to imagine the spacial effect as I was working with just two speakers. It was fantastic to eventually hear this piece in the environment it was designed for. You can check out some images plus the visitor book at http://www.stmedia.org/octorama Traditionals and Copyright - -------------------------- Anybody remember the Animals? Being a Geordie (Newcastle North East Of England) I do. I used to come across some of the guys from time to time. They came to mind as I have been reading a bit of a debate online about copyright and traditional music. A piece of music is sometimes labeled traditional (trad) because it has long since fallen out of copyright. You may make recordings of these tunes with out having to pay the composer who is, by now, long dead. It is an interesting fact that if you arrange a piece of traditional music that, as arranger you may claim royalties on the sale of that piece of music. So ......... The Animals recorded a traditional song "House Of The Rising Sun". Alan Price was the leader of the band so it was just a matter of practice to credit him with the arrangement. So he ends up with all the royalties on a mega hit. By time the rest of the guys realise this it's too late and despite their pleadings he would never share the dosh! I've always thought it a little unfair given that the most striking think about the record was the opening guitar riff that must have been generated by Hylton Valentine. Of all the Animals I got to know Hylton best. He is a very easy going chap and he never spoke of this to me. I recall one night at a party we handed him an acoustic guitar and asked him to play "Rising Sun" and he was so pissed he couldn't remember the chords!. I came across Chas Chandler (now deceased) many times. He regaled one and all with his Hendrix tales. Chas is responsible for my one and only brush with Hendrix but that's another story. Finally, I engineered a session with Alan Price and I was warned to expect a hard man to work with. When I met him I found him to be a wonderfully "couldn't give a shit" character. So completely self obsessed and would shoot anyone down with a harsh word that came anywhere near him. But he wasn't rude just completely matter of fact. Hard to describe. =========================================================== Pitching your songs/Interesting websites =========================================================== Hello, My name is Chris and I am a singer and looking for some songs to potentially record.

Unfortunately I am usually working on some project or other. Last year when I went on holiday to the Channel Islands, I was phoning around trying to arrange singers etc for my Video session. I was also writing songs for that project. This year I had none of that. Instead I had time to indulge in my other favourite pastime and that is visiting the record shops. Whenever I go on holiday to somewhere new, I usually make a point of visiting the local stores and just browsing through their racks. This year, I went to Dorset and lo and behold, I found a box set of tracks from Britain's own legendary hero Cliff Richard. To be honest I've not liked everything that Cliff has recorded although my wife is his greatest fan. So seeing this 6 CD set, I thought that I would just have to buy it for her. Firstly I bought it from the princely sum of £27.99, that's less than a fiver for each CD. This collection features the entire singles collection from this great artist. There are 127 solo singles featured here. As you can imagine, this collection is pretty comprehensive featuring songs like "What I'd Say", the Ray Charles classic that was recorded as a single for release abroad, so this is a rarity for many collectors. There are two other export only singles on this collection. I would be very surprised if anyone has all these tracks on vinyl. I for one would have loved a 7th CD featuring the duets that he recorded with Olivia Newton-John, Phil Every, Sarah Brightman etc. This then would be the ultimate collection. The set starts with "Schoolboy Crush" released in August 1958 and finishes with "Let Me Be The One" released in April 2002. In between is all the classic stuff "The Young Ones", "Summer Holiday", "Devil Woman" "We Don't Talk Anymore" plus all those classics Christmas Hits. This set is certainly value for money and let's face it, there is not another artist alive that can boast 127 solo singles or a career spanning 44 years. Over a hundred of those singles actually charted in Great Britain, which is amazing. As I said, it is amazing what you can find in local stores. I don't think that I will ever lose my love for browsing. ============================================================ SONG CONTESTS IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SONG.JUST ASK THE ISC JUDGES ============================================================ The International Songwriting Competition offers you the chance to win $100,000 in cash and prizes and to have your music heard by some of the most influential and high profile members of the music and recording industry.

Our regular readers may remember it. Looking at the papers over the last week, I came across some really Strange and funny stories Okay they’re not music related but sometimes I think we all need to smile a little bit so here are some amusing titbits that I have picked up on my travels. Dog owners in New York City are up in arms because they say that their pets have suffered electric shocks from currents flowing through footpaths from frayed wires It really makes you want to say that they should look where they are going. Paws for thought! Now a story that is sure to get the ladies up in arms. It’s to do with Ladettes, those beer swilling females. It seems that binge drinking among 18 25 year olds have been found to affect parts of the female brain which controls thinking and memory. So now you know when they wake up in the morning they really don't know What happened the night before which is just as well for us lads who may have put in a bad performance. Another news story is that here in the South East, we are shortly going to be experiencing the tropics within the next 50 years due to climatic changes, we will need Malaria shots if we are going out to the top of the road to buy a newspaper. Mosquitos, which carry malaria have already been found in Essex and within 50 years will be found in the Thames Estuary, East Anglia, Kent, Surrey and Sussex As we have gone past Valentines day, I thought I would share a story with you of the romantic student who wanted to surprise his love by leaving a single red rose and a card and candle on a chair in her bedroom. However the idiot lit the candle, it toppled over setting the room ablaze, severely damaging the room. A fire spoke person said that the girl wasn't very impressed Apparently she was fuming. The weirdest story has got to be the disaster with the American Submarine. It seems that a guest on board admitted pulling the lever which sent the submarine to the surface thus destroying a Japanese trawler Nine people are still missing from the trawler that sank off the coast of Hawaii It seems the Captain asked if anyone wanted to pull the levers and this guest said he would like to do that. It takes you back to the days of Ronald Reagan when he jokingly put his finger on the nuclear trigger and said Now what does this button do. Finally an Ice Hockey team had a close escape when chunks of frozen faeces fell out of the sky narrowly missing the places and smashing large holes in the rink during practice. It was just as well that the stadium was empty of spectators or it really would have been a case of the shit hitting the fan. ============================================================ Creating A Stand Out Chorus ============================================================ One of the most common musical traps songwriters fall into is having a chorus that sounds too much like the verse. Remember that the whole point of having different sections in your song is to have variety. As a general rule of thumb, different musical sections such as verses, lifts, choruses and bridges should contrast each other. This makes each section unique, which keeps the song musically interesting. This is especially important in the chorus section, which really needs to stand out from the rest of the song. So how we can apply this idea of creating contrast to the music? Since music has three fundamental components (melody, harmony, and rhythm), we have three ways of creating a contrast between different musical sections. Let’s explore each of these methods of contrast a little more carefully. Melodic Contrast To create an effective melodic contrast, make sure that the chorus is higher than the verse. The easiest test of this is to try and draw a line representing the melody in your song. If you have a hill or peak in the chorus compared to the verse, then you’ve probably done your job. On the other hand, if you end up with a fairly straight line, you have what I call a flatline melody (it means exactly what the term implies - the song has been pronounced melodically dead). Often this happens if a writer begins the verse in their highest singing register. When they get to the chorus, there’s nowhere higher they can sing, so it stays in the same range. The end result is a melody that doesn’t move enough. The simplest way to avoid this trap is to write the verse in a comfortable, but low melodic range. This gives you plenty of room to move upward in the chorus. If you write the chorus first, try to keep it in your upper singing register. This will give you room to make the verse melody lower while still creating an effective contrast. Naturally, you have to keep an eye on the overall range to make sure it’s not beyond a typical singer’s range (usually an octave plus three or four notes). Harmonic Contrast A second way to make different musical sections contrast is harmonically. The chords used in a song supply the musical foundation for the melody as well as establishing the emotional feel of the song. If both the verse and chorus use the same chord progression, there’s a good chance those sections will sound too similar. The same goes for the bridge or lift section. Try to consciously choose a different chord progression for each different musical section. The easiest way to achieve this is to start each section on a different chord. If the verse starts on a G chord then begin the chorus on a different chord like C, and your bridge on an Am chord. For example, the verse to the Grammy award winning song, Wind Beneath My Wings (Henley/Silbar) starts on a G chord while the chorus begins on an Em chord. This doesn’t mean you can’t start both your verse and chorus on the same chord, but if you do, be sure to include some other method of contrast. Rhythmic Contrast A third way to create an effective contrast between sections is by changing the rhythm of the melody between the verse and chorus. The best example I can think of is the perennial Howard/Arlen song, Somewhere Over The Rainbow (which contains a bridge or B section rather than a chorus). Try to imagine the rhythm of the verse melody in your head. Hear those big long half notes on words like way and up? For the most part, the verse rhythm is composed of half notes. Now try to hear the bridge section of the song (someday I’ll wish). Can you tell the difference? The bridge section is comprised mainly of the quicker rhythm of eighth notes, which creates an effective contrast to the half notes in the verse. It’s also interesting to note that both the verse and the bridge begin on the same chord and are in the same melodic range. The rhythmic change supplies the only musical contrast between the verse and bridge sections and it’s enough to keep us tuned in to the song. If you’re solely a lyricist, rhythmic contrast is a great thing that you can build into your lyrics by simply paying particular attention to the rhythm of the words in each section So when you’re looking for a way to create a distinctive chorus, remember you have several options. Hope to see you on the charts. Danny ============================================================ THE LAST WORD TERRY KEW ============================================================ Welcome to the last word. They say a week in Politics is a long time, well a week on holiday is gone in an instant. Let me tell you that no sooner had I packed to go away, I was back home again. It was a break and also the first time that I didn’t write anything although I was sorely tempted to go in for the talent competition because I felt that I could have won it. Had the prize been a bit different (a bottle of wine), I may have entered. It seems more and more bands are playing to backing tracks these days. The group at the camp consisted of a female singer, a guitarist and a keyboard player. They were augmented by a mini disc player supplying a rhythm section and they would have sounded brilliant had it not been for the fact that the whole thing was run into a central amplifier and blasted out of speakers all around the room. There wasn't any separation and at times it became one continuous sound. A little stereo sound would have been nice. I think that perhaps I should my ST backing tracks, the next time I go away. To be honest, although I have a small desire to perform in front of an audience, I think I would be more comfortable if I had other musicians on stage with me. Now If I could only convince my son to join me but alas he is far too busy with his own career. He has just finished working on backing tracks for a friend of his who is currently touring Cyprus with a stage show featuring my son’s tracks. Jason Kew is an accomplished pianist and plays very much in the style of Elton John. During my relaxing holiday, I managed to pick up a couple of albums. One set Cliff Richard, I have reviewed in this month’s Listening Post, another is the Doctor Hook singer Dennis Locorriere. It’s his first solo album Out Of The Dark that I managed to pick up for a fiver (five pounds English Money) and very good it is too. They are some old Doctor Hook tracks on it for good measure as a tribute to Shel Silverstein, ie Sylvia’s Mother Balled Of Lucy Jordan and my all time favourite track Years From Now. It’s hard to believe that this CD is four years old. I know Steve Thompson is a big fan having seen him a few years ago in concert up there on Tyneside. I have been a fan but more so since I've had a CD installed in my car and I've been playing my Best of Doctor Hook album. I would like to thank everyone for the encouraging remarks on my Struggling Writer album. It has certainly created a good response from everyone who has heard it. So far I haven't had any really bad criticism, so I must be doing something right. Anyway I must finish off this issue and one again a big thank you to everyone that has sent stuff into S.T.Media. Please continue to do so, if we can use it, we most definitely will. Keep writing and plugging away. I will be back again next month. ============================================================ SENTINEL August 2003 Issue 7 ============================================================ An ezine for everyone interested in songs and song writing subscribe or UNSUBSCRIBE at http://www.stmedia.org/sentinel/ ============================================================ Top quality demo recordings for songwriters http://www.stmedia.org/demos ============================================================ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2003 19:29:17 +1000 From: "][mez][" <netwurker@hotkey.net.au> Subject: Fwd: ORB // remote is now launched >To: netwurker@hotkey.net.au >Subject: ORB // remote is now launched >Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2003 17:04:15 -0400 >X-OriginalArrivalTime: 10 Aug 2003 21:04:15.0502 (UTC) >FILETIME=[F4DD0AE0:01C35F82] > > >ORB // remote is now launched at: >http://www.ORBremote.com > >I want to thank the participating artists for their interesting projects. >ORB // remote, an online part, assembled by me, of ORB, organized by >Pio Diaz, Copenhagen, which will continue until September 2004. > >The idea of ORB // remote is not to be a net.art.project but to assemble >digital projects by artist's, dealing with social, economical, cultural, >political and >scientific issues, tracing invisible structures in society. > >ORB //remote will continue until September 2004, to live online in >different shapes. > >Best, >Eva Sjuve > - - pro][rating][.lucid.txt - - - - http://www.hotkey.net.au/~netwurker http://www.livejournal.com/users/netwurker/ _ _cr[xxx]oss ova.ring. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2003 09:06:40 +0200 From: "JavaMuseum" <agricola-w@netcologne.de> Subject: Perspectives'03 - Call for entries JavaMuseum - Forum for Internet Technologies in Contemporary Art (Java=Joint Advanced Virtual Affairs) www.javamuseum.org **extended deadline 1 September 2003 for *Perspectives'03* 2003 competition and show case - call for submissions JavaMuseum organises this event online and offline in cooperation with Computer Space Festival Sofia/Bulgaria and Goethe Institute - Internationes Sofia/Bulgaria.

This Special Issue will explore just one key area of e-Health- the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the communication of health information and advice - both to patients/public and between members of the public. Health policy documents in many countries suggest that the greater availability of health information via the Internet will necessarily lead to the emergence of more informed patients who are better able to assess the risks and benefits of different treatments for themselves. The now widely used notion of 'informed choice' is indicative of the greater agency and sense of empowerment said to be experienced by such patients. Such thinking exists within sociology, too, where, following Giddens' notion of the 'reflexive consumer', there is some support for the idea that the overall expansion in medical knowledge via new media technologies such as the Internet will empower patients. This Special Issue of iCS seeks to explore the assumptions embedded in this 'informed patient' discourse through empirically-based papers which explore the extent and nature of Internet use in a range of settings and its relationship to patient empowerment and more equitable practitioner-patient relationships. Topic areas we hope to cover include: · Creation and use of health information websites by both health care professionals and the public · Use of the Internet in consultations between practitioners and patients · Online health chat and self-help groups Key cross-cutting themes we hope to examine include: · Access and equality issues · Information quality · Practitioner-patient relations · Information and empowerment Deadline for submission of papers: Monday 17th November 2003.

MelbourneDAC +streaming wor(l)ds+ was the first major academic conference on streaming media, computer games and game culture, hypertext and interactive film in Australia. It provided a platform for critical discussion on the implications technological and creative innovations are having on us as globally networked communities. MelbourneDAC brought together producers, theorists, critics, designers, new media artists, educators, filmmakers, curators, researchers and students who share a passionate interest in digital arts and culture. Of the conference and its themes, DAC Chair and RMIT Lecturer, Adrian Miles said "Art and research though have much in common. Both can be considered, in idiosyncratic ways, independent creative and critical activities with their own suspicions, argots, and vernaculars. Both perform fundamental and crucial roles in teaching and research, but much more importantly, once we enter the properly digital as a research and applied field, these differences blur dramatically. This is the power and the risk of the digital, its blurring of boundaries, disciplines, and epistemes. It is also its pleasure."

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, zum dritten Mal prämiert das MARS-Exploratory Media Lab des Fraunhofer Instituts für Medienkommunikation hervorragende studentische Arbeiten aus den Bereichen Medienkunst, Mediengestaltung, Medieninformatik und erstmals auch der Medialen Inszenierung und Vermittlung. Am 21. Juli tagte die sechsköpfige, renommiert besetzte Jury aus Kultur und Wirtschaft im Schloss Birlinghoven in Sankt Augustin, um die Gewinner des diesjährigen »digital sparks« Wettbewerbs zu ermitteln. Vorab hatte eine Expertenrunde 46 der 135 online eingereichten Wettbewerbsbeiträge aus den Bereichen Medienkunst, Mediengestaltung und Informatik sowie Mediale Inszenierung und Vermittlung vornominiert. Nach einer zehnstündiger Sitzung und engagiert geführten Diskussionen, standen die Preisträger fest. Die Gewinner des diesjährigen »digital sparks« Award sind: - ---------------------------------------------- „Machines will eat itself“ – ein Internetprojekt von Franz Alken, HGB, Leipzig www.superbot.tk - ---------------------------------------------- superbot.tk reagiert auf die massive Jagd auf Nutzerdaten (Spionage), wie sie von kommerziell orientierten Institutionen im Internet betrieben wird. Einer der Hauptansätze des Projektes ist es, das "datamining" an sich ad absurdum zu führen, indem bots, ausgestattet mit virtuellen Nutzerprofilen, die Firmen gezielt mit ihren Daten versorgen. So wird der Wert der Daten gemindert, indem die Datenbanken der Konzerne systematisch mit nicht existenten Kunden gefüllt werden. bots können auf der Website des Projektes gebaut oder gezielt zu URLS geschickt werden. den bots kann beim Surfen und Ausfüllen von Formularen "live" über die Schulter geschaut werden. - ---------------------------------------------- „Loser Raum“ - eine interaktive Rauminstallation von Anja Kempe, KHM, Köln - ---------------------------------------------- 'Loser Raum' verbindet den realen mit dem digitalen Raum in einer interaktiven Installation. Im Zentrum des Raumes liegt eine Bodenplatte. An den Ecken unter der Bodenplatte sind Waagen angebracht, die die Gewichtsverteilung auf der Bodenplatte messen und den Schwerpunkt feststellen können, wenn mehrere Personen diese betreten. Auf den Wänden rings um die Plattform sind Bilder der Wände des realen Raumes, in dem man sich gerade befindet, projiziert. Betritt man die Bodenplatte, geraten die Bilder der Projektion ins Wanken, abhängig von der Masse und dem Schwerpunkt. - --------------------------------------------- „how-to-bow.com“ – ein interaktiver Internetguide für ein besseres Verständnis japanischer Kultur und Lebensart von Nora Krug, UDK, Berlin http://www.how-to-bow.com - --------------------------------------------- how-to-bow.com ist ein animierter Internetguide zum besseren Verständnis japanischer Kultur und Lebensart. Animierte Figuren erläutern Geschäftsmännern und Touristen aus dem Westen exemplarisch die japanische Verhaltensetikette. Die drei Kapitel 'make business', visit home' und 'have a drink' helfen, die gewöhnlichen Fettnäpfchen zu vermeiden und bringen dem Besucher unter anderem bei, wie man sich verbeugt, wie man seine Visitenkarte überreicht, wie man eine japanische Toilette benutzt oder wie man Karaoke singt. Die Preisträger erhalten je ein Produktionsstipendium in Höhe von 2.500,- Euro. Die Preisverleihung des Wettbewerbs »digital sparks« 2003 findet während des „Ars Electronica Festivals“ in Linz, Österreich, am 10. September 2003 um 19 Uhr im Sky-Cafe des Ars Electronica Centers statt. Dort präsentieren die Gewinner Ihre Arbeiten dem interessierten Fachpublikum.
