During SXSW in 2010 I was interviewed by the guys behind the PressPausePlay documentary which they call ‘a film about hope, fear and digital culture’. I missed the film’s screening at this year’s SXSW so 18 months after it was recorded I saw my interview for the first time last week. I still stand by what I was saying last year.

You can download the full documentary in HD on their website.

As a side note, it’s because of PressPausePlay that I now have an IMDB page.

Only a few weeks left until the transmission event in Victoria, BC and for everyone who is joining us (or thinking about coming over) we put together this short video to provide a snapshot of what’s going to happen in February. I’m really looking forward to this event, we already have a lot of great companies attending and amazing speakers confirmed. Hope to see you there!

Full disclosure (in case it’s not obvious): transmission and transmitNOW are a client of mine.

We only did this for fun but now watching it again I’m actually making sense. This was after six hours of interviewing people so a bit of a surprise.

After talking all day about digital content consumption I find these kind of videos very inspirational. Reminds me that the delivery technology is not important but just the experience itself:

A lot of the work I am doing right now is around digital books so this video is very inspiring. Reading a text such as a book is a very simple, linear and engaging user experience so many of the ideas mentioned below cannot be called a book any more. “Text-based information and entertainment apps” maybe?

I recently went to Brisbane, Australia to attend the wonderful Big Sound conference. Other than speaking on a panel about the future of the music industry, I met some great people, saw very good bands and did a few interviews about how I see the recording industry develop at the moment. This is one of the videos:

I just got into London and it’s great to be back! OpenMusicMedia London is happening tomorrow night, hope to see you there.

I noticed that Karim from Techvibes was kind enough to record my short introduction for the OpenMusicMedia event in Toronto two weeks ago and this is the video. (By the way, the bricks you can see in the background are part of the oldest wall in Toronto.)
