Destiny finally came back from the Florida Keys where she spent the last six months at Seacamp (www.seacamp.org) working as a Junior Camp Trainee and Water Sports Instructor. Inspired by fish eco-systems she's planning a nation wide tour investigating coastal marine life. I know this has been on her mind for quite some time now so It'll be interesting to see what she brings to the table. She's promised a few surprises, one of them I know is a revealing video shot underwater of her interacting with some fish... and I'm pretty sure we will play a song or two... come with questions!

Synthinetic in the book "Handmade Electronic Music"


Synthinetic, a kinetic noise instrument I built together with Alex Abreu is going to be published in the book "Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking" by Nicolas Collins. The first edition of this book is what inspired our first experiments. It's really informative and inspiring and contains fun and easy DIY projects. Check it out here.
