I’m pleased to announce a new side project that isn’t actually in itself a music performance project. It is in fact a manifesto-like set of ideas that I’m putting together in collaboration with Russell Bender, a theatre director (and old friend of mine) from the UK.

We’ve decided to move our work over here to my blog, and over the next 2-3 months I’ll be talking through all the material on here, and Russell will guest-blog from time to time.

We’ve got to the point where we’re keen to encourage interactions and opinions of other people, and my hope is that by re-blogging everything, we’ll be able to crystallize and distill the ideas into some kind of coherent structure.

We need a new name for the project that actually reflects what it’s about (see next post!), but for now all the posts will be labelled with our old working title, ‘Arts 2.0’.

More soon.
