> I experienced this installation at a gallery in Kanazawa, Japan but I wasn’t allowed to take any photos – it was a magic experience; totally overwhelming but peaceful at the same time….

> Next HISSandaROAR library? Well, you know about THE DOORS project, but I’ve been auditioning some unique vocal talent for the next library… And now you know why I recently bought a boom – god forbid getting bit by such a beauty! So by this weekend, the film I’ve been working on for the last 3 months will have been mixed, double head screened, fixes implemented, print mastered and M&E mix completed, so I’m off for a weekend away to Ngawi, which just happens to be one of the largest homes to my vocal contributers for the next library:
