There seems to be a quickening in the air. Partly it is the cold as the season shifts, and partly it is that familiar autumnal sensation of a return to school after the summer. I know I am not at school – and technically have not been, since 2010 – but I’ve been in education so long that I reckon it’s embedded in the way I experience the year. Either way, I am enjoying a burst of energy and have been busy working on several things which may be of interest.<\/p>\n

First of all, thank you for all the encouraging comments on the Wovember post<\/a>. I’ve been excited to see some emails coming in already for the competition, and my inbox is hopping with WOOLLY CORRESPONDENCE so I think it’s going to be a good month-long celebration of wool! There are 11 days left for getting your posts in<\/a>. We have refreshed the site – Kate felt that the Hall of Shame was first of all out of date, and also out of keeping with this year’s theme of Closing the Gap – and I wanted to rejuvenate the background. This year the Wovember website is covered in Laura’s Loom Hebridean tweed<\/a>, as the majority of Wovember brooches will this year be covered in Laura’s exquisite Lakeland textiles. I am also delighted to report that the redoubtable Tom<\/a> has joined TEAM WOVEMBER for 2012!<\/p>\n

In other news, I have been remastering Audicle<\/em> – an album which I made in 2004 – for digital release on Amazon<\/a>, iTunes<\/a> and Spotify<\/a>. I wrote about Audicle<\/em> here<\/a>, and it has been a wonderful experience to revisit this work from 2003\/4, and to refresh it for 2012. I have given it a new cover, featuring a print I made during my BA, and the sketches and scripts from which Audicle<\/em> was built.<\/p>\n

Audicle<\/em> is a collection of short stories and tiny musical interludes, themed loosely around the metaphor of animals for telling human stories. Here are some taster tracks from Audicle<\/em> – Little Monkey<\/em> and Thumper<\/em>. Long-term readers of this blog may be familiar with Monkl<\/a>, my naughty monkey accomplice alter-ego<\/span>? I bought Monkl in 2004 because I recognised him instantly as the monkey from Little Monkey<\/em>.<\/p>\n
