the story so far
Well its been some time, and im afraid not a great deal has accured in terms of practical output but things have been plodding along in other respects. Firstly, we have a shiny new studio space, which aside from some minor teething problems (a muddy track to get too and from it thanks to ridiculous layout) is a really great place to make work.

website progress
i made this as part of my three week project, it will remain offline until i am totally happy with it, or january 2010, whichever comes first.
