More on the Umbrella Project

Two videos from me and brilliant musician Simon Goff both talking in a little more detail about the umbrella project. Writing for soundwalk one is underway, and has taken an interesting turn. Here’s an excerpt from the intro to the first draft:

Event details for the first soundwalk will be released on Monday…

videos!
