So 2009 has brought much clarity contrary to the current climate of uncertainty. The rest of my year is more or less planned out and lots of wonderfully shocking surprises await.
Back from the wonderful Make Art (free libre open-source software – FLOSS) festival in Poitier organizes my the equally wonderful collective Goto10 and on the way to another weekend of Floss-ing in Bergen Norway at Piksel. So its been absolutely crazy these past months. The site has seen some welcome additions with a page dedicated [...]
[...] All this will climax on Saturday the 08th of Nov as One Man Nation will perform at the first of 3 experimental music/art/computing festivals, the noise infested MEM festival in Bilbao. End of Nov will be the Makeart Festival 08 in Pointiers France (28/11/08) followed the week after with Piksel 08 in Bergen (05/12/08).
3 weeks back, guess it is time for a full coverage and pouring out of gratitudes to the ones that made life enjoyable while far away from home. This is the follow-up post to Bye Bye Barna, Bye Bye Spain.
Some good, or rather great news coming from here. First off, One Man
Nation will be returning to Bilbao for the MEM Festival in Nov, this
will coincide with the week long Festival de Improvisación
Multidisziplinar (FIM) at L’Mono where I will be giving a week long
workshop on programming your computer to make it an improvisation
ready instrument (well try to at least).
So the time has come for the end of yet another wonderful tour! More on the rest of the tour since Spain coming soon plus new videos (once I get through the tedious digitization/compression process…). But in the meantime, a short update as to whats happening here -

Staalplaat last weekend. Since Staalplaat, I’ve taken a plane to Riga
followed by a bus to the little countryside town of Kuldiga. Its been 4
days since arriving and I’ve been taking it slow, relaxing in the woods
and getting natural body massages by the rushing [...]
Today marks the end of the mediterrenean maddness as I embarked on my flight to Berlin at 11 this morning. 2 days shy of a month, its time to look back on the wonderous events since setting off from my Rotterdam apartment June the 25th.
Porto was a wonderful surprise with the “Super people at Soopa” [...]
Things worked out really well eventually in A Coruna. There was a surprise show set up for One Man Nation on the Monday 07/07/08 in a squat in A Coruna. Special thanks to Cesar, Conni, Sande and Lucia for making things happen and providing food and lodging!
- One Man Nation tour has reached Gijon since [...]
Just arrived in A Coruna, unfortunately the show here got cancelled, so it means a couple of days of rest. Update on the tour, the show in Porto was wonderful, an unexpected amount of people came and organizers were amazing. So check out their site and work of some really forward thinking musicians in Porto: [...]
