********WANTED******** the last week of my life… where the hell did it go? It's been a crazy one. I've not stopped been mega stressed and had to deal with millions of bits of paper that need sorted and ordered into […]
We had a group meeting on Friday – a bit of a shock really. I work a lot at home on my own which I really prefer, but it feels a bit like a tidal wave of things thrown at […]
My practical work has been going very slowly over the last few days, I feel. The second book has developed a life of its own and is demanding much more work than I’d expected. Does a piece ever feel finished […]

Anna Puhakka I have been working in sound primarily the past month or so. I have also started doing some technical training at Isis Arts for sound, which has sparked off many new ideas. During this time I have also […]
