I have to been trying to catch up what happened 2 weeks ago in Umea - Sweeden but everything is happening to fast.

100 Km below the North Pole in a place where the sun does not go down and sponsored by red bull ( can you imagine the thrill and high beta brain activity that was happening there??) the Music Tech Fest was happening.

Amazing gigs, amazing talks and a 48h hackathon for the development of music technology and ideas. I was amazed by 3 amazing artists:

. My newest friend Ma Tan from Tel Aviv and owner of Shift ↑ שיפט talking about Dis-Co-Tech Music - Technology, the first Hackathon for Music Technology for Special Needs. How brave is to link the top of the pyramid (pro musicians) with the bottom of it (disabled musicians) and how grateful is watching their evolution and happiness.

. Ecce Cello: conceptually genius performance gathering actual questions such as ego and technology with a good sense of emotionality and humor. You can see it on this amazing TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hrVpx6bfY&

. And another one intrinsically genius because of the bright and skilled mind of the performer and the way it can visualize and conceptualize sound. You can see it here alongside with a synchronized cymatics production of his sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_hrVpx6bfY

In the end all the smart sketches that arises were all incredible.

Regarding our work, me and Horácio (the MuArts Team) have joint Fanny Fazakas to develop the project: #DoingSomethingSoundingBonding (http://www.hackathon.io/findingsomething-bondingsounding)
