So this happened (legit part of my teaching of and research into spatial audio experiences). If you get the chance to do one I thoroughly recommend it. Doing a presentation on similar stuff at a symposium tomorrow. Get me, eh?

The dog poo thing is real. People leave bags of the stuff hanging from trees and on benches in the New Forest. It’s a National Park for goodness sake. The wild ponies live there and get to crap wheresoever they like. Your dog is a visitor and you should take its poo home and bin it there!
