We now have access to the collective Space Eye, and possess the ability to zoom and focus at any one scale of the fractal. NASA provides ...Read More
Audio is a live recording from the set, however the video recording didn't turn out so great, so this is instead a rough mock-up of how it went.

I've just launched my website http://mattleaf.com ! In the coming weeks I'll be moving this blog over to Wordpress, which will hopefully come out with a similar look to the website. It's also my pleasure to announce my first online (and debut) release of music as 'Sinuso Dial'.
