I feel like I have barely seen Alex this week as he has been off at one nerd event or another, and today was no exception. He sneaked out of the flat around 6:30am to spend the day with some agile Prodigy fans or something. So I got to spend the day tied to my [...]

To me there is something intensely personal about listening to the radio, it can become my heart beat, teacher and inspiration. Maybe it is being left alone with just human voices and the barest sound effects for company. With just their timbre and inflections, you create an entity for those faceless echos.

For the first time in the history of the UN a film is being shot on site, The Interpreter, and this was my shallow motivation for visiting last weekend.
