Here I was just having a bit of fun visually recording some audio recording of some obsolescent or semi-obsolescent technology for monome.org’s latest community recording project ‘Exploring Obsolescence’ No micro-cassettes were harmed in the making of this video, but I’m afraid some circuitry [...]

Christmas Crazies

B etwixt Christmas Day & New Years Day there exists (for me) a kind of limbo, a miasma of half asleep apathy and inertia. It could be the effects of all the food and drink, not to mention the mad running around we have done, or perhaps the residual effects of the recent night shifts [...]
