A severely hecticated day! Woke up later than I wanted after late session listening to mixes and then chill out that had me slightly staggering toward the Zed room around 2am. Woke up to a desert as the plumber had shut off the water to start on the horrendously expensive copper pipe loom.No shower and in dressing gown to welcome … Read More

On the domestic front things gathered pace on the space called”Kitchen”.

Finished after midnight, couldn’t concenrate anymore after hours editing the Radio 3 interview which has wiped out all comers including the one we wanted to open the movie with. It’s a brilliant conversation with Piotr K that covers all the bases including … Read More
