Au revoir Ashton Court (an obituary of sorts)
Saturday, July 21st, 2007
Last weekend was the 33rd Ashton Court Festival (2) - the annual multi arts festival for which Bristol is now well renowned. It was remarkable to see the festival in action again. After years of financial struggles, caused by foot and mouth, moving sites to the other side of Bristol and rapidly spiraling costs, the […]
Half Life

In 2005 I raved a lot about The Storr, brought to life by environmental arts organisation nva. It was certainly one of the most remarkable things I’ve seen, and it also helped provide an excuse to visit (for the first time) the islands off the west coast of Scotland (Skye, in this case).

In the last flat I lived in, in Brighton, I had a microsound fridge.
In my new flat, in Edinburgh, I have a musical tap. When on, the tap creates a high but constant tone, with turning the tap varying the pitch.
It makes washing all the more exciting.

Voyage into the Unknown 2 is go.

The Storr was even better than I’d anticipated, and slightly different to how I had imagined it. More sensually evocative. Plenty of other people have reviewed it, so I won’t. I have very few criticisms (which is unusual), and I won’t detail them.
All I will say is that, additional creativity aside, the opportunity to […]
