Hey there everyone,
Haven't been around here much lately - in fact I see by a quick search that
I've been more or less absent for just under 4 years. My second son (Orlando)
is also just under 4 years old, so maybe there's some connection there, but
I think it was more that this group was too damned good. I learned a hell
of a lot about audio here through the frequent dialoges, discussions and
even arguments..even learned a lot about human nature when things turned
into the odd political stoush. Anyway, as this group is the only place I
really learned about the ins and outs of audio, I kinda look at this group
as where I 'went to school. After a few years (I'm a bit slow, you know :-)
I realized that, entertaining and informative as it all was, I really needed
to tear myself away and spend more time doing the things I really needed
to be doing, so I did the only thing a person can do when they realize they
have a problem of addiction - I went cold turkey.
A lot has happened since then - I finally finished my contract for festival/mushroom
(which I was very glad to be rid of - I think the feeling was mutual). Then
I made a feature documentary for Walking with Dinosaurs; the Live Experience
(pretty much single handedly - I was the crew). Some of you guys might have
seen it over in the US. PBS were playing it a lot last August when the show
was in town. I now work for a 3D company called Inition doing stereoscopic
film production, 3D scanning, Motion Capture and Reality Augmentation. My
in-laws farm burned last weekend in the fires up at Whittlesea (luckily their
actual house was saved - can't say the same for the neigbours though - their
house burned to the ground <along with so many others>, but they escaped
with their lives).
So in short, a lot has been happening and none of it particularly audio related.
So I'm downsizing - getting rid of my PARIS, or I will be, as soon as I can
find my CS16 cable. I think I might have to buy a replacement before I can
put it all up for sale. I have a vague recollection of people blowing up
their cs16's by plugging in any old ethernet cable - can anyone remember
what the specs are for the cable - is it C5 twisted pair? or something like
that? Can't remember.
Anyway, I see you guys are still going strong - rock on! Here's a couple
of songs I did a while back that some of you guys might be interested in.
They're not masterpieces, but they're where I was at.

(I know the strings are horribly overcompressed at the beginning of this
one, it's just one of those things I'll go back and fix when I get time).
Cheers Everyone!

PS (Nappy good to see you're back!)
