About
Ian Mathias-Baker is a British-born musician, writer, theorist, information technologist and designer. He lives in Granada, Spain.

About this website
This site exemplifies my philosophy regarding both Art and the web: the content is free to consume (and hopefully enjoy), without adverts or cookies, and it's presented with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
The site doesn't use any CSS or JS frameworks – just plain old hand-crafted HTML, CSS and Javascript.
The 'collection player' can be freely downloaded and used if it's of use to you. It builds a collection of HTML marked-up poems or stories into an app-like experience with a table of contents, and which you can use the keyboard arrow keys or swipe gestures to navigate through.
The music player uses Scott Schiller's SoundManager2 javascript library.
Swipe gestures are supported to navigate writing collections by virtue of John Doherty's Swiped-Events javascript library.
Obviously, for best results, Javascript needs to be enabled, but the site will work without it.
