Jake Harries interview

Jake Harries, a sound artist/musician/producer/composer has been making music in Sheffield since the 1980s with a strong focus on Media art and the practical application of Open Source audio-visual software. On Resonance FM, he talks about his Free Audio-Visual Tools Research (FAVTR), a two year research project into what people can do with Open Source audio-visual software on recycled computers within a community context. The project started with organising open and practice-based workshops (at Access Space where Jake works as Art Programmer) through to building a machine and forming a community band and playing live at various festivals around the North West of England.
