My new instrument




I have two new lives coming up, one in Tartu, one in Tallinn. In Tartu it's the annual Eclectica festival. Partly for that I made a new instrument to use in my performance. It's a bit noise oriented. A french Vtech smartbook, that I circuit bent with the help of a real electronics pro. It's wonderful seeing someone open up the circuit and read it like an open book.

Together we turned the half defunct toy into a french noise machine. I will include a sample of the sound.

The two performances will rely mostly on the N0NStars live, but the one at eclectica might start with a more minimal touch.

My customized sneakers

Hey,
I just finished customizing my white sneakers. They were quite cheap that's why I bought them. But they got dirty at the prison rave and I decided to redesign them.

How to do it? I chose the iconic zebra print for them. For the paint I used Montanas, as they are durable and even make the sneaker more waterproof. First I spray painted them pink. I taped the rubber parts to keep them white. I used the tape (instead of stencils) and taped the stripes onto the shoe. Sprayed it nice turquoise and there you go - beautiful DIY cyan and pink zebra print sneakers.

Good luck with your project!

Live at Robotanical Park





I just returned from playing at the Estonian festival Robotanical Park.
The three day festival was on a beautiful beach on the north coast.
I was performing my new N0NStars live (a little piece of it can be found here).
Wonderful people, the best weather and a fast beat and the party took off.
Probably some videos soon and a new party next weekend in an old Prison in Tallinn,
the Patareiv on the 15th of august .

Lego animation continues





Tonight I had some friends over to help me make the tiny legomen dance in the lego club.
It's quite an effort to move each and every1 of the 60 figures. I am very thankful fot the extra help from my friends. The video is about a blonde who brings the party with her, the cops stop chasing escaped prisoners, businessmen turn rave and princes arrive on white horses, while the Dj cooks some nice earcandy. We will be done shooting in september and then we'll begin editing. So the video should be out in october probably.
