I am so happy to announce that my new book 'Creativity Kickstarter : 100 exercises and strategies to kickstart your creativity' is now out and available to buy!
Out and about with my new SOMA Ether v2 electro-magnetic field microphone for it's first test, listening to and uncovering hidden sounds along the Middlewich canal, from trees, signs, factories and gates. Still getting used to it, and excited to start using it indoors with random electrical items!
I am still busy developing my sound map, and currently uploading new field recordings from my collection daily. I have amazed myself with how many field recordings I have going back to 2005
With a love of sound and of geography, I had always wanted to create my own map. Whilst working on my up coming ‘World Soundscapes’ library, I decided now was the time to build one.

What is it that we actually want from music technology?
