As ever, all sound design and music is by little ol' me. Let me know what you think, yo!

So, I've given you the programme notes; now for a couple of little kinematic exempla (more here and here):
Past: An evening of music and film (1st helping)
As brother Jacques has so rightfully pointed out, it's really time I updated this here web-diary. I thought I should take this opportunity, therefore, to say 'thank you' to everyone who helped made the Evening of Music & Film a success hitherto unparalleled by any other mortal achievement.
A Cardiff-based, multi-BAFTA award-winning composer came up to me afterwards and told me that Gruff and I should enter the Turner Prize with On Decorum. HE SAID THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE GUYS.
Anyway! For those of you who couldn't make it due to 1) ineptitude, 2) forgetitude, 3) not-really-bothereditude, 4) being in another country.. I've copied out the programme notes after the break. I've also handed over a couple more pieces from the night into the care of the nice gentlemen and ladies at youtube: watch them here!
Right, here are the aforementioned programme notes (including handy clickable links if you fancy watching those elements of the night that have made it onto youtube):

New music / video / anti-communist propaganda piece
May I present to you, dear reader, a small taster of the forthcoming night of film and music which I am curating at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. A night that you can come to and experience for yourself! It's on the 16th of March don't you know.
This sneak preview is entitled 'How to out-psych the psychos who sucked out your psyche', and it concerns the venal, anti-American socialist tendencies that were rampant throughout the 1950s. It's enough to send shivers down your spine, it really is...
Enjoy, and see you on the 16th! More information forthcoming.

We made a Jecklin disk!
Did we?
Yes!
The above is a video that we took during the Bmus3 (& Ed) Recording Studies class the week before last. An excellent time was had by all, and a useful bit of kit was made, which will hopefully serve the college well in years to come...

The BBC and me, part one: audio evidence
So, you may remember how I wrote the music to a BBC Radio Four Friday Play. I've finally got it together enough to upload a couple of clips. The first one features the sexy voice of none other than James Marsters (or Spike from off of Buffy as he's known round our house), as well as that of the lamentably anonymous, but equally sexy, continuity announcer. Enjoy!
