Just a little about me...

Hello, my name is Michael Cookson and this is my website.

I work as a freelance Sound Engineer and Web Designer while also studying Electronic Engineering at the University of Leeds.

This website has a lot about me and what I do, I hope you find at least some of it interesting or entertaining.

r.adibob.
For those that have not come across r.adibob before I would like to tell you that it was a high brow social experiment that was designed to push the boundaries of understanding when it comes to the minds of 18 to 22 year old males living in Leeds, UK. If I did though I would probably be lying.

r.adibob was created by myself and Dan Townend one boring, over cast Friday afternoon in the middle of the university summer vacations. It is a jaunt though the musings and ramblings of Dan, I and three other friends which often have humours, risqué and sometimes frankly shocking results. 

The first, and so far only r.adibob recording was made within the walls of my very own studio, aka garage, and resulted in over four hours of raw audio which I painstakingly edited and cut down to a one hour episode which has already entertained, shocked and frightened a selection of the participants friends, and even girl friends! 



Recording of Episode 2

Well it started out to be rather promising however from preliminary listening the show is no where near as good as it was the last time round. I'm going to have to see what I can get when I play around with the original recording but with too many people plus a rather large amount of alcohol consumption I think quality suffered.

 Watch this space for news. 

 
Where will r.adibob go from here?

Well at current there are no 'set-in-stone' plans for r.adibob however all those that are involved, and other friends have have listened to it, are keen to keep the project alive and record new episodes - something that has been made very difficult by all of the original cast and nearly all of any possible new cast members now being away at universities across the country. 

We have plans to record at least one new episode during the christmas vacation, and potentially - cast willing - some form of Christmas Eve or New Years Eve special may be in the pipeline. But be rest assured that r.adibob will be back in the near future!
