23rd August 2009. Well,
it's been a while since I updated the site. I've started in a new role
at the University of York as a permanent lecturer in Music Technology,
meaning that I'll be doing both teaching and research from now on. I've
updated and overhauled the

unwieldy.

Temporal matching of 2D and 3D wave-based acoustic modeling for efficient and realistic simulation of rooms
it will form part of the session on room acoustics. I can't post the
actual paper on this site until 6 months after the presentation, but as
soon as I can I will. I've also updated the

online. I've updated the
DJ page
with details of my most recent broadcast. I've changed to a new web
host which means I'm able to host more files so it should be easier to
access the broadcast archive. I'm aware that a lot of the links in the
music reviews section
are broken (the Big Chill's web site has had a facelift and the URLs of
the reviews I've written for them have changed). I'm hoping to get this
sorted out ASAP (tomorrow hopefully).
