Hello - another new subscriber here, responding with a short intro for those on the SoundscapeUK list. My connection to soundscape studies/acoustic ecology comes from both the 'music' I make and also through my job as Studio Manager of the Electronic Music Studio at Goldsmiths College, working with Studio Director Katharine Norman. There will be a new web site for the EMS up and running in September. I hope to have a homepage with MP3 files of some of my music on the net soon. I'm currently working on a piece made out of interview outtakes/ambiance recorded by Ben Watson with Frank Zappa, six weeks before he died, and another piece utilising a Nigerian 'death-threat phone message' (lent to me by a friend-in-hiding). I'm currently writing & researching a text on the alchemist Fulcanelli, Frank Zappa & James Joyce - which is another thing altogether. _______________________________________ Ian Stonehouse Studio Manager Electronic Music Studio Goldsmiths College, University of London New Cross, London SE14 6NW tel. +44 (0)171 919 7643 (direct) +44 (0)171 919 7640 (music dept office) fax. +44 (0)171 919 7644 email: [log in to unmask] http://musicinfo.gold.ac.uk/music/ems.html %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
