the year in review:
----------
2002 was a great year for me. I performed a number of live
electroacoustic gigs: at immedia, at a house party with Keith Whitman
(aka Hrvatski) + Greg Davis, at Canterbury House in Ann Arbor, and at
an (OFF)SEAMUS event in Iowa City. I also played live with Telefon
Tel Aviv and DJ'd at Necto (Ann Arbor) and on WDBM (East Lansing).
One of the most important occurrences of 2002 for me was joining
thinkbox, a self-curating group of new media artists from the Windsor
and Detroit areas. I'd done a number of events with the thinkbox crew
over the past 2 years, and it was an honor and pleasure to be asked
to officially join the group.
Finally, I moved chromedecay from an informal tag I'd used for
projects (and the name of my website) to become a proper record
label. I released 'live at leopolds' in May of 2002, with the intent
of establishing chromedecay as an outlet for my personal projects. I
also released 'combine', a 25-copy release on Ypsi United which will
hopefully see a wider release in 2003.
