Prison of the mind

“Everyone sits in the prison of his own ideas. A human being is a part of the whole called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

– Albert Einstein

Looking at old books. I wonder if anything on the Internet will last this long?

My baby daughter took her first steps into broadcasting last week when she decided to chat with me during a link on the Charlie and the Chillout Factory radio show.

I’ve recently been spending time converting hundreds of samples from old floppy disks, zip drives and external drives so that I can future proof my sample library. It also means I can now load these samples onto the various apps I have on my iPhone. Some of these sounds are now over 20 years old, and I never imagined one day I’d be loading them onto a mobile phone.
