Lately I have found myself working one of two ways most of the time:

1. listening to music and having that trigger images in my mind which I
then get down into drawings.

2. making animation, drawing and software work and then hunting around for
music or sound that resonates with the work after the fact.

Sometimes it is the chicken, sometimes it is the egg. Occasionally it is
the chicken and the egg simultaniously as it seems to be with sonic wire
sculptor (which is one of Amits solo project).
