online projects
New tracks have been posted to The Anonymous Zone here
and to the Manfred Werder 2005/1 project here
Three new online projects will be launched soon:
one based on a graphic score by Sarah Hughes,
another entitled Variations 2, which won’t be what you think,
and the third is a Mobiles project - think Calder sculptures, not little telephones
website redesign
The Another Timbre website is currently being completely redesigned, and when it is relaunched it will not only look different, but be much easier to read on tablets, mobile phones etc. At that point we will also start offering pay-for downloads of the whole catalogue.
Thanks to Richard Pinnell for making these changes possible.
