There
are some people whose influence on my professional life goes over and
above ordinary notions of friendship or collaboration.
First and foremost I am grateful for Anna-Lilja Haefele, who offered my first commission as a freelancer. I now work with the  team as an ad-hoc translator/sub-editor. I'm happy to call her a friend and to be able to benefit from her extraordinary capacity to imagine.
Thank you to Sarah Seldon for
an extraordinary amount of help over a sustained period. My friendship and professional collaboration with
Diana Mavroleon tends towards defying description and in a few
different ways, Adrian Allen has helped me
understand the industry - and offered me opportunities to see it at
work.
Jonny Brown hosted the radio debut of my mental landscaping on his Mining for Gold show and offered me an opportunity to branch out into this area. Thanks also to Inga Tillere, very much an integral part of MfG.
Patrick Coyle and Cally Spooner invited me into their project "Should I stay or should I go" and thus into Chelsea Space's archive.
Tania Ketenjian was quick off the mark with advice on making the next step in 2010.
I remain also grateful to Ed Pinsent (Sound Projector), Alex Fitch (I'm ready for my close up, Strip), Ben Thompson (London Ear) and Robin Warren for the variety and depth of their help in the overlapping personal and professional realms.
I am grateful to Precise
for the job which pays my bills, and for flexibility in the face of
changing conditions. In that sphere of my life I have been helped by
innumerable people, most of whom would not want to be named in public,
or necessarily linked in public with this job. If you read this, I am
thankful to you all.
I am happy to call Inza, Nina Kehagia (Process Minimal), Jonny Mugwump and my fellow members of The People's Republic of Southwark friends too.
THANK YOU for the following people for good humour and assistance at Resonance FM
First
and foremost, the the triad at the head of the pyramid of Resonance; Richard Thomas, Chris Weaver and Ed Baxter. Not only for the ability to learn or brush up on technical skill but also in commissioning my first long-form feature and hosting Technical Difficulties.
I
have produced or engineered a number of programmes created and
presented by people with fascinating ideas, patience, clear structure
and good humour whilst I sat behind the desk. They are (in no
particular order):

And
there are those who have operated themselves serenely with occasional
inputs from myself (hopefully beneficial), they are (again, in no
particular order):
Miguel Santos (Atlantic Waves, Sleeping Dogs Lie), Joe Cushley (Balling the Jack), Edwin Pouncey and Sharon Gal (Diggers), Zoe Baxter (Lucky Cat), the Glass Shrimp crew,, Trick and Tom, Sean and Marina Organ, Josh and Tim (Dead and Alive), George and Bob (Damn Music), Martin Myers (Bonanza), East London Design Bureau (History of Sound Systems), Ruth Barnes (The Other Woman) , Lyrical Healer , Naomi and James (You and Me), William English (Wavelength), Gustav Ferrier (Rocket 88), Kosmische, Sounds of the Universe, Cathi Unsworth (Dark End of the Street), Ivor Kallin (Ambrosia Rasputin), Rockfort, Benedict Drew, Hogmaal, James Tregaskis, Ben Eshmade (Arctic Circle), Rosie Wilby (Out in South London) |
