Wasn't sure which topic to comment, but recently just finished the SONIC NORTH book. It's small, A5, was it perhaps 100 pages or so. Book format edited, with pretty large font. Most interesting being Lasse Marhaug and Fe-Mail interviews. Done live face to face and discoussions feed themselves into pretty nice conversation. This in already from... 2004 or something, so ain't new info there, but always nice to read some insights from Lasse, even if they would circle along kind of "mundane" subjects of noise.
His reference to noise being like pet (a'la cat) is amusing. Just willing to let something into room, while you don't have to fully focus on what they do. But still get certain satisfaction of them being around.
