Confluence



The commission project that I have previously mentioned is now up and running. The first showing of Confluence took place on Saturday 9 July within the Nanoplex Caravan at the Custard Factory in Birmingham. I went along to see it and the rest of the festival and of course got caught up in the bomb scare. Went down with some friends. As a reminder this project is a collaboration between myself, Candice Moule, Sean Clark (Cuttlefish) and Steve Gibbs of Bathysphere.

After the Custard Factory we were having some food in China town, got evacuated from China Town. An alarm was sounding just before mixing in sound with a jazz combo playing in the area. Initially thinking it was a over zealous car alarm or shop alarm. The workers at the chinese cafe came out after we started eating said we had to leave brought the bill and we were gone. Thought about going back to the Custard Factory, but decided to leave the city straight away after talking with a police man.
