Got a Grant from the Canada Council
I recently got a senior grant from the Canada Council’s ‘Spoken Word and Storytelling’ program to do a specific project described at http://vispo.com/wombamo/wm.pdf.
Basically, the idea of the project is to scream my fool head off while playing Jig-Sound and dbCinema as instruments.
You’ve seen musicians play an instrument while they sing. Well, this is similar. Only I’ll be telling a story between (or perhaps during) screaming bouts. And the instruments I’ll be playing are Jig-Sound, which is sonic, and dbCinema, which is visual.
The first job is to fix dbCinema. It’s um temporarily out of order. Google changed some image search stuff, so dbCinema’s google image search stuff isn’t working. Am about half way done that fix.
Should be quite the shriek fest.
