Audio Roulette - work in progress

Thanks to all that completed the survey about listening. I've learned a lot, and perhaps a little too much about when and how some people like to listen to music!

The majority of us use iPhones/iPods, iTunes and listen to albums, playlists or everything on shuffle. This is mainly while travelling - walking, bus, train, tube, aeroplane, taxis. But exercise and at work / studio came up a lot too.
And we're addicted ... with the majority of people saying they listened daily / most of the week.

Which makes the perfect conditions for Audio Roulette.

The research has given me lots of info about other music players that I hadn't heard of and helpful info about how much you use platforms like spottify or sound cloud that I know about and use. But what was even more interesting was everyones short descriptions of when and how they like to listen, which showed that despite our commonality here, we all do it our own way.

Whats next:
I'm busy preparing the sounds. I've spent the day wondering around east London listening to music and rouletting myself. My short list is getting edited down and I'm thinking of more ways to do this. What's more, I'm rekindling my love of music - its been a long time since I put headphones on and got lost to music.
