Early 2018 I’ll be heading to Northern Africa as I am invited as keynote speaker at Fez Gathering III and a short artistic residency at Fez Medina Project in Morocco. Will be also my 1st (field recording) visit to that part of the continent.

My artistic residency at Lijiang Studio is coming to an end. Tomorrow is my last full day and last chance to make some fieldrecordings in rural Yunnan. Fridaymorning I may witness a Dongba ritual, in the afternoon I’ll be flying to Shanghai for an extended weekend of fieldrecording in a urban environment. Next Tuesday I’ll be crossing the Pacific Ocean direction Montalvo Arts, California, USA for my second artist residency this summer.
