Year Ender List for 2008

As 2007 careens towards the end of the line, I type away before 2008 bites me in the face.

Shortlist of to do/expect for Tengalization 2008:
(I'll start from the hardest to do to the easiest).

1. Interactive video + sound installation for 4 video channels (with speakers), headphones, turntable + infrared. (Soon to be disclosed).

2. Website and specifics for a NEW and OFFICIAL archival company/label, SABAW (to be registered and patented.)

3. Short film entitled PORNO.

4. Release 5 albums (tentative):

a) Miniaturist Jazz album - Jazz without melodic improvisation, each song composed with 50 notes or less. (Early 2008)
b) Live improvised performance with Malaysian sound artist, Goh Lee Kwang, guitarist/sound engineer genius, Arvie Bartolome and a few surprise guests. (Early 2008)
c) Pinku - J-pop for the 21st century schizoid short-term memory kids.
d) Sequential Boredom Series - Part II of the series I started (Drones for the Bored, released 2006) in 2006.
