It's that time of year again, but this year we're celebrating 100 years of radio. For this years celebrations I've contributed recordings of interviews conducted by JJJ and ABC Classic FM about the first art's based streaming project commissioned by the ABC, Sensorium Connect.

The interviews focus on generative sound/music and what it is I had developed within the field and where I had seen it heading... There's a mix of performance poetry thrown in for good measure... I'm sure the interviewers had fun putting these pieces together.
