    Oh yeah, killing, shooting, slaying, hunting. Same old, same old. Such a disappointment to read The Guardian’s ‘most anticipated titles of 2011‘ and find a gallery of the usual FPS mayhem. Disappointing because I get video games, I think. I admire the potential that they have. It’s just that they inhabit such a narrow range…

    I love what’s happening with the attempt to get a charity recording of John Cage’s 4’33” to Christmas No.1 – thereby ousting the almost inevitable other contender – some X-Factor manufactured product who we’ll struggle to remember this time next year. This video has been released documenting the recording of the piece – with the…

    If you’ve not tapped into Proost’s excellent resources then you really should. The ‘Wait’ video I created for Vaux some time back is really good for advent, and can be downloaded here. It was filmed at a local station in London, using the monitors that the drivers use to check doors are clear. Unfortunately the…
