I gave up writing an ongoing commentary on the festival and tour because events became overwhelming. But I have a some observations, things that stuck with me. First I'll say that I have never come across such kindness and selfless service that I encountered from many of the people who volunteered to help us Europeans have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I simple can't get past this. Whether it's partly the Islamic ethos of hospitality of something to do with desert people (they were the best of the best) I can't say. It was humbling and almost embarrassing when you compare what travelling Europeans have to offer.

I'll blog some pictures and videos soon.

I compose electroacoustic music and new music for  electric and acoustic guitars. As a sound artist my work ranges from investigations into public ritual to the sonification of climate change data to working with the voice, in particular spoken Scots. I incorporate lens-based media and text in commissioned and exhibited work relating to understandings of the complexity of landscape and the rural environment.
