About Me

Laurence is a radio producer for CBC Radio One's 'Outfront'. In that capacity he creates radio shows that try to extend the sonic boundaries of normal broadcasting using the technology of The Experimental Audio Room, a collection of synths, samples and soundbending gear far beyond what is found in a normal radio studio. Outside of work, Laurence plays violin and electric mandolin in several bands playing in a variety of styles. So far he has played traditional folk, electric Celtic, flamenco, experimental electronica, prog rock, jazz-rock fusion and African music. He'd like to add to his resume in this regard.

What is it about our neighbours to the south??? Another rant!

I have many friends on the other side of the border. And, Lord knows, Western Civilisation has long held the US up as it's role model. But they've gone loony.They're starting to worship this psychopat...

The biopsy went fine. The lugubrious Germanic dude was replaced by a younger, more personable guy. Who knew to give me more anaesthetic....I still get the occasional twinge...but I'm pretty much back ...
