Illness intrudes

A week hindered by a cold - feeling much better today though. I've ben pretty busy this week - theres a lot to do at work we are coming up to a release which I am hoping we will get out of the way before a certain sproglet arrives. Finally finished up the Storytellers stuff - ended up droping any of my music (due to me losing the cd of the last track) which I felt worked better in the end. Tedious work though removing all the noise and stuff from the tracks. Quite pleased with the end results.

On my own music front I've been playing with jMax and PD. I contributed a track to a project on the .microsound mailing list which should be getting a web release all things being well. The closing date for the project is next month so more details then. These Max like tools are very much suited to the way I work and are going to be my main focus musically for a while I think.

Because of my cold I haven't really been doing much in the way of reading. Music wise Kim Cascone is the man of the moment. I have been listening to a couple of excellent Jah Wobble records too - Shout at the Devil and Passage to Hades - both particularly good.

We went to see Lord of the Rings at the weekend. I was most impressed - it captured the mood and scope of the book well. Epic in all senses of the word - can't wait for the next two episodes.

Got here via Planet Z.

Nice site. Like the mood and the graphics, and especially the "Countdown Girl" poem. Have to wait for broadband before I download music. I'm too impatient.

cheers,
