Who am I and what am I doing?

Who am I?

My name is Tom and my Linkedin page informs me that I “provide technical services to the entertainment industry on a freelance basis”. Which just about sums it up. My world ranges from technical literature, through to system design, integration, bits of research and design, and even some RFID race timing. You can find out more about me on my Linkedin should you wish. 

What am I doing?

Well as I find myself with a bit of time on my hands I thought I would begin a blog to share my thoughts on various audio related topics. I want to share my reasonably non-technical take on some, often controversial, subjects and add my voice to the online debate. Hopefully I can learn some things along the way and if I’m lucky get the chance to impart some of my knowledge to someone else.

What will I cover?

I’ve got some plans for topics. Yes I do want to cover the cliché topics such as my thoughts on how to tune a system, hi-fi snake-oil, and no doubt I’ll mention sub arrays at some point. But I also want to address the boundary between audio industry, audio academia, and computer science. Occasionally I may even scratch psychology (unconscious bias and double blind tests). I won't make it too technical, I like to talk about things in the simplest way I can because that's how I understand them best. Warning - there will be lots of analogies!

I hope you find this blog interesting and I hope I have some fun writing it too. Please join in the conversation. Comment, share, and discuss.
