Still Talking Tongues Videoclip

A videoclip for the track Still Talking Tongues from my latest album.

I decided to release an unearthed/embarrassing home made horror movie my Brother and I made when I was about 12. All the hallmarks of great film making are present, slick editing, a stellar actor who never looks straight at the camera and cutting edge special effects.

The videoclip also includes a slightly extended version of the track.

This Is A Miracle Village

New LP!

This album is my first fully instrumental release. Exploring West Coast synthesis combined with collage’d samples, field recordings and live instrumentation. Tape wear and degradation interplay the soundscapes to create an aged warped sound throughout the album. Created after watching too many hippie-cult documentaries the album acts as a kind of crypto soundtrack, a soundtrack for a film that does not exist.

Experiments, improvs and jams

I’ve made a few new recordings of live experiments, improvs and jams.

Red Language, a little beat driven improv with an old casio playing around with washes of ambient keyboard over a cut up sample driven beat

Giant Quiet City, experimenting with an aleatoric soundscape over harmony from a piece featured on the teledermatologist handbook release

Sugar Eyed Beast, clattering poly-meter automated percussion combined with samples from an mbira

Scribbling Skulls in Textbooks, chopping up samples from a playground game collaged with woodwind sampled percussion and live bowed acoustic guitar

I’m starting to release pieces of music that don’t fit in one way or another with the other stuff I have been making so ended up getting a bit discarded. I’m going to keep adding to this album to build a kind of musical lost and found.

These are the first couple of tracks…

But it would seem like a roaring black abyss to a small bird or an overly sensitive person is a track based around collage’d ukelele, the singing nunn and a cb radio how-to record. It’s a more pure collage piece of music than most I’ve made recently and it develops and collapses very quickly, but I’m still happy with it.

Among the Twigs is a piece experimenting with bowed guitar, granular synthesis and processing vocals through so much resonance they become abstracted and washy.

Kindling Guts

I’ve started recording the improvised music I make so it doesn’t just disappear as even when the piece doesn’t work out entirely I often find little bits and pieces that I like and can build on later.

This jam centers around a violin is running through the microkorg vocoder. With a slow latched arpeggio it enables me to harmonise the violin with the microkorg to some extent and suggest different, shifting harmonies even when playing a monophonic line on the violin. I think this idea has a lot of potential, I just really need to learn to play the violin properly and the vocoder could probably use less washed out ambient-treatment to make the shifting harmonies more apparent.
