I'm back - and 5 new Soundbytes articles have appeared.
Sorry for the lack of news - it's been a VERY busy semester. Meanwhile, in the September soundbytesmag.net, I had 2 reviews - one of Xotopad-2, a lovely Windows based touchscreen controller toolkit, and then reviews of four new-ish books from University of Illinois Press: biographies of Johanna Beyer, John Cage, and Robert Ashley, and a collection of writings from Gordon Mumma.

In the current November 2016 issue, I've got 3 reviews. One of Henry Lowengard's classic Droneo, now updated, one of Tracktion's extremely powerful BioTek softsynth; and one of a very fun sampling/sequencing app from the Mouse on Mars crew, fluXpad.
