The 11th Annual Outsound Music Summit starts next week
We are exactly one week away from the start of the 11th Annual Outsound Music Summit. It opens next Sunday is the perennial Touch The Gear Night and continues throughout the week with a series of concerts. Some of the novel themes in this year’s series includes a poetry and music night, and “Thwack, Bome, Chime”, a concert dedicated exclusively to modern percussion. You can see the full schedule here, along with ticket information. All events are taking place at the Community Music Center (544 Capp Street) in San Francisco.
As a community partner, CatSynth will be provided live updates at all events via our Twitter @catsynth, and provide more in-depth after-the-fact coverage here on the blog. I will also be personally participating in Touch the Gear next Sunday, where I will be showing both iPad apps and analog modular synths that have been part of my solo work this year.

Weekend Cat Blogging: Light and shadow
This week, we have an exercise in light and shadow with this Instagram photo of Luna on the window sill. It was taking around 1pm on a Sunday, not the best time of day for photos. But with cats, you can to take the shot when it happens using the tools at hand. The lighting places much of Luna in shadow, which makes her dark fur even darker. But there is also a patch of light on her fur.
Luna is happy to be home after I was out of town for a few days on my desert trip, which was full of quiet stark landscape, intense heat, and “self discovery.” I already shared one photo for the most recent Wordless Wednesday. I am sure I will be sharing more soon.
By coincidence Jules is also showing off light and shadow contrast on his black fur this weekend as he hosts Weekend Cat Blogging at Judi’s Mind Over Matter.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt: Flash
It’s been a little while since we have done a combined Weekend Cat Blogging and Photo Hunt. This week’s theme is Flash.
I don’t often use a flash when taking Hipstamatic photos of Luna, but when I do I can get some interesting results.
In addition to the “laser eyes”, we see Luna posing with our heart-shaped kalimba.
Weekend Cat Blogging #368 is hosted by Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind Over Matter.
The Saturday Photo Hunt is up with this week’s topic Flash.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat.

Art Fairs SF article in Stretcher
My first article for
Stretcher is an online publication that “encourages dialog about contemporary art and visual culture in the San Francisco Bay Area.” It was a great experience writing this article with them, and I hope it’s the first of many.
