I asked what he had in mind, and he explained that he was taking a friend and embarking on a round-the-world trip, from the jungles of Africa to the streets of New York by way of India and Australasia, and planning to record any musicians he could find on the way into his Apple Powerbook, using it as a fully fledged multitrack recording studio. I was intrigued at the time, plenty of people were talking about dispensing with desktop computers and using laptops to liberate their studios and make themselves mobile - but few people had actually attempted it. Brimming with nervous energy, the caller introduced himself as a producer and asked if I would be interested in a feature on recording with a laptop. In early 1999, I took a phone call at the Sound On Sound office and had my first encounter with someone calling himself Duncan Bridgeman. Their acclaimed album and DVD project was recorded on an Apple Powerbook during a six-month journey round the world - with a little help from some friends. Many people love the idea of laptop recording, but few have put it into practice like 1 Giant Leap.
