Inspired by Oram

I was listening to “Private Dreams and Public Nightmares by Daphne Oram, Andrea Parker & Daz Quayle” and it has been completely inspiring. It really is an amazing album with some great soundscapes.

It is quite a dense listen though, if that makes any sense. I had to stop half way through for a break, but it’s really worth a listen.

MegaCurtis on the way

I’ve posted about the wonderful iOS tools from the Strange Agency before, so I was really pleased to see that they have another, or possibly an update on the way.

The refer to it as ‘MegaCurtis’, and it looks amazing, very much building on Curtis for the iPhone and the iPad version too. In some ways I’m hoping that it is a new app and not an update as I like the existing one and would almost just like to have a new one to compliment it, but irrespective I’m looking forward to it, for more strangeness and experimentation. Here we go.
