hey, the name's si. i'm a music tech student from the depths of suffolk. i've just finished my final year at college getting ready to study sonic arts at university in london in september. i can't wait. what is sonic arts you say? imagine if music and art had a train crash and sonic art is what you'd arrive at..kinda, it's hard to define. i'm fascinated by sound, that's why i chose to study such a strange subject like sonic art, i'll get to mess about with sound for three years. i like to think i'm quite a creative lad, i make 'music' on my laptop. which is a mac since you asked so nicely. actually, most of the time i just glitch the fuck out of a loop of music, it can relieve a huge amount of stress. pfft, as if i'm ever stressed, i'm totally laid back. myspace is in fact the devil, so i joined virb instead, it looks alot nicer, i like nice looking things. i'm convinced i have an obsessive compulsive disorder. i'm really forgetful and i never 'get' a film the first time round, i'll have to watch it again. i work at virgin megastores and have done for like 4 years now, mental i know, i just can't leave! i like to take photos of stuff, interesting stuff mainly, or just pictures of my home town. i love vinyl, i have quite a small collection but there's some great stuff in there - and they once belonged to amon tobin. that's my claim to fame. my music taste is pretty eclectic, there's not much i don't like.
hmm anyway, i think this has gone on for long enough now. take it easy guys and gals.

hey! sorry i didn't reply to your last message. it was filled with such sonic goodness that it was quite overwhelming! i was trying to comprehend all of it and come up with something intelligent and witty to reply with, but alas it didn't happen.
things are going well over here- thanks for asking! i've got about three more weeks until i graduate high school, so things are looking up. i think i'm ready to get out of here. i'm also really excited cause tomorrow night my friend and i are going to a concert. LCD Soundsystem is headlining and YACHT is opening for them. jona, who is the main guy in YACHT, is super cool, so hopefully i'll get to chat with him some. how are things for you?
Chris, May 8, 2007:
yeah does all seem a little expensive! ive just found this little beauty here ---->http://www.musicunfolding.com/MU_MIDI_Controller.html means i can use my graphics tablet to make fun sounds. theres a few graphics tablet based things around from my quick look. hoping to find a kaoss pad type thing.
