  So, yesterday was Twitter. 

  What a day - first of all, we were invited for lunch, which was jolly nice! We then set up and got on with it, with a lovely introduction from Biz Stone, co-founder and Creative Director. We were using our interaction visualising software (made by Outside Line) from The Words on The [...]

What amazed me about it most was just how many of the images I recognised but didn’t realise were record sleeves… Really wonderful, and if [...]

  There is an article about SPEM in this fortnight’s CMM - available from specialist music shops, and, if you’re lucky, a larger chain like Borders.

  I’m in my final week of being at the amazing Banff Centre in Canada. I’ve been here for six weeks, and it’s just amazing. 
  So, what have I been doing? Well, I’ve been recording my debut CD, SPEM in my studio hut (see below). Literally completed the other day, I’m yet to listen back to all [...]
