The advances in web technology are opening up the field for artists to generate and share work in fantastic ways. One of these advances is the
audio
element in HTML5.I resisted changing things over for a while because I thought it'd be a slog re-coding the site: but as it happens I only had to remove one line to make the switch. So...
As long as you're not on Internet Explorer 7 or below, all the pages are now in XHTML5. For most purposes you won't notice any difference, except on the shop and podcast pages: if your browser doesn't understand SVG, you'll get an HTML5 audio player instead!

Most of my activity is around removing my dislike for Flash. What this means is I can now have Bandcamp embedding, which also means that you will be able to download all of my albums, once I've uploaded them. I'm going to keep the price low: you'll help fund the trio album too. Thanks to all who buy!
The other change that might occur is the retirement of my SVG audio widget for the podcast. I'm thinking of replacing it with Soundcloud's excellent HTML5 custom player, which looks much nicer than the HTML5 standard controls and will allow me to share music I find too!
If you want to have a look at the "new look" in progress, head over here.

This is just a reminiscence. No point; just a cheering thought.
I realised [as I was saying hello to new followers on Twitter] that I've been giving away free music, mostly in Ogg Vorbis format, for nearly the full ten years since I've had a site.
Things were quite different then though: to get sound from a web page, you had to embed Windows Media Player, Flash or Real Audio; not many musicians cared about the patenting issues of MP3 at the time.
I did care, and so made the switch pretty early on. My motivations to use an open format and actually think about the tools I use are probably what drove my switch from Windows to a Linux system [after all, how can you preach for freedom and openness if you're using a closed platform to do it?]. Of course, because adoption of Ogg Vorbis among listeners and software or hardware designers was slow, the proliferation of the format was not as widespread as I had thought it would be.
Giving away new music was not fashionable at the time: and the artist actually choosing the format they wanted to use was even rarer. Times have certainly moved on! The number of people who talk about FLAC [I would say primarily because Bandcamp offers it] as if it's a de facto lossless audio format is heartening: and musicians are now more able to present their sound as they wish. I feel [but of course do not know] that open formats have driven this change forward: opening the tools has opened up the people.
Like I said, no real point to this: just thinking out aloud.

HTML5 wasn't that important: <audio> element for the slides was nice, but the same could have been done with SVG 1.2 Tiny, 3 years ago.

Use Linux for audio? Have a USB card? Want JACK to start when plugging the card? Here's a simple script.

Derby. @[Will McGiven]'s set was excellent; the album sounded amazing through @[3 Square Audio]'s speakers; and @[yana] did the best gig we've ever done.
That's right: the best gig we've ever done.
Thanks to everyone who made it down and thus made the night incredible!!

The first album where using audio processing really came together for me was Sipping Rioja at Home, which in many ways is the spiritual ancestor to (s)kin.

The use of audio processing got a boost after I switched from Windows to Linux. My imagination of myself in the future meant that I needed to learn technology - to actually be part of that future. And so I did.
