March 2002
Anyone in London might be interested in a free Scanner show being recorded for BBC Radio Three’s Mixing It show. I will be improvising live with David Cunningham on guitar, sharing a live bill with Sand and Capitol K. It’s at Ocean 2 in Hackney on March 20th but if you are not sharing the cold wet nights of London then you can listen to the performance at 23.00 on BBC Radio Three on Sunday 24 March but even then if you miss it, it will be archived for a year afterwards.

Scanner – Have noise, will travel
We’ve reached the second in our user interview series and this time we talk to Robin Rimbaud a.k.a. Scanner. What is this fine noise merchant up to and how does he work? To put it in his own words: “- My projects are all over the place. They’re very rarely normal as in “artist makes a track, releases another record, does a tour, does a remix”. I never followed the idea of being a jukebox. I’m one of those odd characters that shift between different projects and adapt like a chameleon.”
You can also download/listen to a track of his containing PrimeSounds samples. Enjoy! (2002-04-02)
Well, back to swimming in the sunshine for the moment and enjoying the delights of Australia.
Ciao
Robin / Scanner

Scanner + I/O – Biospheres: Secrets Of The City (FREE)
Brisbane Powerhouse Friday April 5 @ 19.20 sharp
Biospheres: Secrets Of The City explores the hidden resonances and meanings of sound and image that lie beneath our everyday surroundings. Taking the urban environment, architecture, streets and the neighbourhoods that map the framework of the city itself as the inspirational focal point, this work attempts to re-assemble Brisbane and its surrounding spaces through its fringes. Focusing on the sounds that have become invisible through familiarity, Biospheres: Secrets Of The City also explores the neglected architecture that dominates the urban environment.
