New Camera

I have recently bought a second hand Hasselblad medium format camera and am looking forward to taking some photographs.

Listening Habits

I recently discovered Noveller's music after listening to David Sims's (Bass player from Jesus Lizard) new solo project unFact. They are both ambient/drone/soundscape type deals, made with guitar (bass in David's case), loop station and other pedals.

It's not music to jump around your bedroom to, but really lush when you're spending a lot of time at home, in front of the computer writing proposals like I am at the moment.

I have been saving my vinyl copy of Down for a couple months now and decided to play it in full after returning from town. I was blown away.

Kupferstichkabinett: Between Thought and Action

I recently visited White Cube, Hoxton Square and really enjoyed their current exhibition of drawings of unrealised and works in progress. There is some excellent stuff in the show by people I have never heard of and some of my favorite artists.
