Xinjiang ("new frontier" in Chinese) or Eastern Turkestan is without doubt the first extremely sensitive zone in China, at least in terms of ethnic conflict between the Hans newcomers and muslim minorities who have a longer history of occupation of those areas.

Cobblers, of course, but thats the excuse for beginning this piece with a burgeoning thunder storm in September 2008, on the Barbialla Nuova estate near San Miniato, Tuscany. This is an area famed for its white truffles. Then a truffle hunt, with Imperio, Bobbi and Sabali. Bo...

A submarine-like structure sits on a traffic island in the middle of Akerman Road, London SW9. It was built in the 1970s above the large underground boiler room that provides heat for the Myatts Field estates, which lie on either side of the road.

The heating system was sited underground because to do so was consider...

AER is/was a name I gave to sound recordings used for the Touch samplers (in particular) and this is no more than an opportunity to clear the cupboards and make the best of them available in one location. None of them benefit from studio production and in the age of easily-available sound recording software, I suppose part of the point is that they are all cassette or minidisk recordings assembled on...
