upcoming events ---- Warren Burt ----

Greetings All!

***This is a one off message. You have not been placed on any junque email
lists!***

(And apologies to those who have received this more than once! I'm having
trouble learning my new email program!!!!)

Having just celebrated my 50th birthday, I thought a few performances were
in order.
Here's a list of my activities in the next two months. If you're in
Melbourne, come along! If you're not in Melbourne, if you think really
hard, you'll probably be able to
hear some of them on the psychic ether.

Cheers,

Warren Burt

sound.
It might not be an artificial intelligence, but it'll make a pretty
good
attempt at imitating one....)

Fellowship. Ripponlea installation/performance also made possible courtesy
of the National Trust of Australia.
