Hi Ollie,
I came across Building Blocks and I really like the sound world you created. It is very cool to see that musicians are doing some really creative experimental stuff down there in OZ. Interesting too that you are associated with toy satelite, my husband(who is experimental composer Howard Fredrics) have a recording studio called Toy Gun Studios. We are also music educators who like to promote creative experimental stuff but unfortunately there was a move here at the place we were working in the London Area away from expanding the musical horizons of students and promoting the study of the kind of popular music with which the students were already familiar.
Best of Luck,
Lori
