What a great article. Who knew there was a link between The United States of America (band) and Sesame Street?

Browser-based sound/glitch experiment - loops, memory, noise. Built in p5.js & Web Audio. Still unstable. A summer project. What should it do next?”

Captured this image above Silbury hill one night on the way home from a gig. It’s not a great shot but what is that red thing in the sky? #wyrdwednesday

An incredible array of historic graffiti adorns the walls and pillars of Winchester Cathedral. Here's an apotropaic assortment of daisy wheels and demon traps.

Nice walk up and back down a recently discovered path (for us) and bridleway from Monkton Combe to the top of Midford lane. #oldways #holweg

“We are more than the sum of our differences…”
