See the Elephant!	See the Elephant! See the Elephant! is an immersive four-screen video installation with surround sound audio that features convergent viewpoints during the 2004 Republican National Convention (RNC). The Republican National Convention was held in New York City at Madison Square Garden August 30th through September 2nd. The four video trajectories take place inside the RNC, outside the venue with the authorities, in the streets with the demonstrators, and at arms-length with mass media. Content for the projected piece includes natural sound, impromptu interviews, and overlapping content which creates an intelligible, multi-linear, political narrative.

Adoriction Clock	ADORICTION CLOCK // PROJECT DESCRIPTION: hours = Doritos + minutes = inhaling + seconds = jumps Our daily functions are controlled by clocks that are meant to keep us on par with the external order of things. Desire exists on par with addiction as breathing exists with asphyxiation and eating exists with intoxication. Adoriction Clock focuses on our interdependency with the patterns of consumption. Modern time is globalized, accelerated and unstable, it is experienced in us by multiple fragments of ingestion, ingestions of both physical and abstract bites. We live and breath through these highly processed and mechanized bites and we knowingly adopt them as addictions that we are told will neutralize our deepest anxieties. Notions addressed in Adoriction Clock: Elemental vs Complex Organic vs Synthetic Singularity vs Multiplication Lightness vs Fatness Habit vs Mutation Immediacy and Mobility Food as Narrative Bites as Seconds More information about the Dorito Project can be found at: http://www.madxs.com/projects/doritoproject/index.html Adoriction Clock was first exhibited in the St Etienne International Biennial in November 2004

The point is to think of more questions. A few minutes into Anna Geyer's Arapadaptor (I Feel So), the first question I have is: If the Beatles were doing the White Album today, would that infamous track sound like this? And what would it look like? Number nine. Number nine. And isn't that Lena Horne singing the snippet that keeps popping up in splices, before and after the accordion with the acoustic guitar? Number nine. Number nine. And finally: How did the dog cemetery get into the picture? But of course, we don't ask why. Just how. ...

	Current review for Saul Stokes' live album Radiate - " Saul Stokes is at his hip, subtle, glitchy best with Radiate, a combination of recent live and studio tracks. The title track oozes cool as only Stokes can, blending odd noises and buzzes with jazzy notes dropping in every now and again. Though the familiar Stokes bite is there, the edges are little softer, the tone a bit quieter than he's sometimes been. “Wave Image Wave” is a subtle drone piece, with occasional ticks and abrasions to give it Saul's signature touch. “Nano Flame” has a nifty clicking sound that is so crisp it is like listening in 3-D. “Oceans Light The Shore” starts on the abstract ambient side but then develops a bit more structure, at least compared to the rest. Still, even as it approaches a form of musical cohesion, it is more sound collage than true notes or melody. “Hard Landing” is an awesome rendering pure science fiction, starting like Forbidden Planet but then moving to quirky sparse alien sound worlds. Two studio tracks close out the disc in similar fashion, the primary difference being that “Curve Of Symphony” and “Vast” have a definite beat to them. Radiate is another piece of unique understated brilliance from the musical mind of Saul Stokes." © 2004 - Phil Derby / Electroambient Space
