Sound Continuum is a conference for field recording & sound design being held in Tokyo November 21 – 23 and looks like an excellent line up of participants…

More info & registration here – I wish I could attend as I would love to hear the Kiyoshi Kurosawa talk! Hmmm maybe next year…. I wonder if there is any chance of a webcast?
