Gordon Monro: Talks

 

Some talks, presentations and writings concerned with electronic music and art, by Gordon Monro.

Articles listed here have all appeared somewhere outside this website. See also my archive page.

In recent years my emphasis has shifted towards creating and art and away from writing about it.
