"Tumbarumba," a project I did in collaboration with Benjamin
Rosenbaum, premieres today. I'm very excited about this project and
want to avoid saying too much to avoid ruining the fun. It's in the
form of a Firefox browser add-on and can be downloaded at http://www.tumbarumba.org
. It was commissioned by the kind folks at Turbulence.org

"Media_N" recently published an essay I wrote about my Self-Portrait
project. You can read it at http://www.newmediacaucus.org/journal/issues.php?f=papers&time=2008_winter&page=ham

I spent September and October doing a residency at the League of
Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR). The residency culminated in a
performance of an early prototype for one of several vocoder-like
musical sculptures/instruments. It uses printer parts and a slide
whistle to replicate vocal pitches and to play Take The A-Train. You
can see the robot in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdoGTRbCTYk

Finally, I recently updated my website to have a more streamlined
design. Check it out at http://www.ethanham.com
