…. including recently a participatory children’s show
all about sound and voice, called babble
for which i also wrote some software to instantly sample,
edit ++ effect voice sounds from the children taking part,
and spatialize them back into the room – spectacular!!

there’s a miasma of half-memories
of studying sound design
msc at edinburgh uni
where i learned to code n that

should we set store by what we once aimed for ??
ahem :: i mean :: i don’t often think on things i used to make
but for what it’s worth
vague evidence of projects left abandoned
by older versions of me can just be made out if you squint
lying around on servers such as youtube ++ soundcloud
