martin russ

For about two years now, I've been investigating visualisers - software that turns music into moving pictures.

My book, as published by Focal Press. I had been working for some time on a new 'completely revised and updated' edition, and it was published in May 2004. There's a 3rd edition due in 2008.

hi-tech music

One of my main interests since childhood. MIDI sequencing is something I would love to be able to spend more time on...

A more recent addition to my interests. Before the Web Browser was invented, I was one of the brave individuals who used ftp as a primitive file exchange system. One day I discovered Nadia and Marc Hairston, and the flood gates were opened.

wall games

For many years, I've been a frequent contributor to something known as 'Wall Games', which are puzzle games (usually on pieces of A4 paper) that you put onto walls at parties, and that the party-goers then try to solve. I thought that this would be a good place to publish some of them.

betsubetsu

The Betsubetsu web-site is a slightly dusty art and animation project that is currently not receiving the attention that it deserves. I've been very busy with a variety of other projects, and this one has been overlooked in the rush. I'm hoping to be able to spend more time on it in the coming period.
