Nice post Olivia! There's so much cool damn stuff going on in Detroit this month. Follow the link in the previous post to see Jeff performing a digitally hot-rodded table saw at the 2000 Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and read the rest of the article this statement was taken from: "I spent a great deal of time attached to a portable cassette recorder used for diary purposes attempting to capture conversations, experiences, numerous moments of my life. My early obsession with recording grew out of a fear of losing that time that was passing. Reflecting on my recorded life ultimately was very beneficial. Reinterpreting the fragmented perception of my everyday revealed things, things that are a foundation for my recent sound-based work."

Speaking of the DEMF, Pop Culture Media's three year contract is expired and the festival rights are currently in the hands of city council to bestow on the best team for 2003. There is the potential for Detroit's biggest annual event to simultaneously return to its grass-roots energy and be transformed into a world class cultural festival on par with SONAR in Barcelona... or even bigger and better. Right now we wait and see.
