More publishing, inspired by Antarctic Scientists

I'm at the SCAR conference in Kuala Lumpur and it occurred to me last night that I could put up the few bits and pieces there are, scattered about on the internet, that I've done already. I think there are four, starting with "A Boy Leaves Home", the cd I made in 1994 with Lol Coxhill, Sylvia Hallett and Evan Parker, with one track available on youtube. I played this tune in the "Discovery" Hut at McMurdo in December 2011, though not this version. If you would like the full cd please ask me and I will make a copy for you. There's quite a nice little cartoon someone made of the cd cover, showing the motorbike involved, a Ducati Sebring 350cc 1971.

Then there's a talk I did in Perth, Western Australia, at PICA for the Tura New Music Festival, "Elephants and Suffering in Dusty Corners", which seems to be available only as a download. The photograph which says it is of me is not of me, but of someone at least a generation older, with the generation before that as well. If you have a look, you'll see what I mean. I do have an audio recording of this talk, complete with music, and one day I shall release that too.

Helen Petts made a short film with my music, in memory of my friend Paul Burwell.

Lastly (for now) the personal project I did at Canterbury University, NZ, in 2012. The title is actually "Paths are Made By Walking".

I'm trying to type up a pioneering work entitled "The Mathematical group Structure of Australian Marriage Class Systems" from 1981, before the original fades away, but it has big matrix arrays in it and I keep putting it off...
