Malath is a brilliant artist, producer and games designer championing collaboration. We chat through his journey to Dundee from Baghdad to forming Biome games collective in Dundee. After moving Liverpool in 1991 Mal found his love of computer games through PC gaming titles like DOOM when he was at school. He then recalls saving up hard to get his hands on his first console, the playstation. After technology and gaming captured his interest he decided to study programming at university and then went on to work at several different games companies. Mal first came to Dundee for the Dare to be Digital festival and a while later decided to create a company with a model to challenge traditional games companies. He co-founded Biome collective - A co-working space and company for people who want to create, collaborate and explore games, digital art and technology. Although games is primarily what Biome works on they tend to explore a much more experimental and more art based practice. It’s great to see someone challenging the traditional model and using collaboration to diversify their practice. Killbox, their drone warfare based experience is more of an art installation. It’s currently on a world tour and I first got the chance to play it a couple of years ago at the Dundee Design Festival. It delivers an experience of drone warfare from 2 perspectives the pilot and the target. In traditional gaming there is no sense of empathy in blowing up a target but Killbox is carefully crafted to invoke a powerful and often emotional response to a horrible reality. It shows gaming in a whole other light and how powerful it can be used in a different context. We also talked about Mal’s experience of visiting GDC one of the biggest world wide games conferences. He was denied entry to the United States due to a trip he had made to see his family back in Iraq a few years previously. After he was denied entry a bit of a social media frenzy helped him get a visa and all was sorted out. I’d also like to say thanks to this week’s sponsor – Joan Clevillé Dance and their production of The North on at Dundee Rep Theatre on Saturday the 30th of September at 8pm. The performance will be BSL interpreted by Jennifer Ramsay and you can join the discussion with Joan and the dancers after the show.

The land of ancient gods, wild animals and strange creatures. The home of the Terrible and the Sublime… After their acclaimed debut Plan B for Utopia, Joan Clevillé Dance returns with The North, the bleak yet whimsical story of John, a young man who finds himself lost in the harsh yet delicate wilderness of the North with only himself and two eccentric Northerners for company. Without any memory of who he is or where he comes from, John searches for his own identity in an increasingly unpredictable environment, a place where being lost is the norm and letting go the only way to survive. Blending elements from dance, physical theatre and puppetry, The North features cinematic visual and sound design with original music by Luke Sutherland and an eclectic soundtrack from Wagner to Frank Sinatra.

Welcome back to series 2 of the podcast. After a bit of a summer break I'm back and feeling refreshed. There's loads of great things lined up for the coming weeks but to get us started it's the last of the batch of recordings from Punch In/Punch Out at the Dundee Design Festival. If you haven't listen to one before it's a collection of mini chats with the visitors to this year's Dundee Design Festival at West Ward Works. There was an amazing range of people at the festival and these episodes document some really interesting insights into their working practices and thoughts on life. I'd also like to say thanks to this week's sponsor - Joan Clevillé Dance and their production of The North on at Dundee Rep Theatre on Saturday the 30th of September at 8pm. The performance will be BSL interpreted by Jennifer Ramsay and you can join the discussion with Joan and the dancers after the show.

What use is an F-call? I recently spent some time talking about the Grey Line, about the way it moves around and how it will help you make contacts along its path. If you recall, the direction of the Grey Line changes throughout the year. As the tilt of the earth affects the direction of the sun on your head, it also affects the shadow line that's drawn across the planet as sun-set and sun-rise occur at your QTH. Of course, you already know this. We experience this change as our seasons. So, if the Grey Line changes direction, the obvious question is, "Which way should you point your antenna?" If you are using a vertical, there isn't much pointing going on, but if you have anything that is rotating, even a mobile station qualifies, there is benefit in actually aligning yourself with the Grey Line. Of course you can look online and see a lovely Grey Line map and use that, but that does require that you have access to the Internet, or a phone with an App or some other technology. But you don't really have to get that technical at all. The antenna you're using has a beam-width that is going to be several degrees wide and local environmental factors are going to impact on your experience, so, here's some figuring. At the equinox, the Grey Line runs North - South, that is, twice a year around 20 March and 22 September. For our quick and dirty calculation, March and September is more than accurate enough. At summer and winter solstice, 21 December and 21 June, the Grey Line runs at the maximum angle, the tilt of the earth, 23.5 degrees. So, every quarter of the year, the Grey Line moves about 23 degrees, call it 21 degrees. So every month the Grey Line moves by about 7 degrees. This is about equal to the width of a man's fist held at arm's length. (104mm) So in December, you'll see the Grey Line running at about a bearing of 21 degrees, in January, about 14 degrees, in February about 7, in March about 0, that is North, and so on. Now the only tricky part is, which way do you go around 0 degrees? Is February 7 degrees east, or 7 degrees west of North? It depends on whether you're north or south of the equator. Here in VK, February is East, April is West, August is East, October is West. To remember that, think that the Grey Line is a FEAST. February is East and August is East. Have fun working the Grey Line. I'm Onno VK6FLAB
