i have just finished a piece of music with accompanying film using sounds sourced from the inflight entertainment system from sri lankan airlines flight UL509 from colombo to london on 23.1.11
the sounds were mixed from two headphone sources via a mini mixer and recorded onto minidisc. they were then later further edited and developed using ableton live and matched up with images captured using a portable flip video camera
you can watch the film on the video page or go straight to the vimeo page
ayr based bailey guitars, who i have commissioned to create my next piece – a one string bass guitar, have started a blog on their website about the project. you can read about its ongoing creation here
i have just returned from another recording trip to sri lanka. a selection of raw field recordings can be listened to via my soundcloud page. other video and audio recordings are in the process of being edited to produce further work
prime bolus music – the large improvised piece i periodically performed live last year (and hope to continue to perform and develop this year) has been given really favourable reviews in the organ online music magazine and also in the sound projector. the piece and be downloaded for free on the music page or you can buy the ltd edition cdr from eaten by squirrels
i have uploaded a short film video thing for toy glistener, one of the tracks me and javier recently made for the ensuciadores project. you can watch it on vimeo. it is also on the video page. enjoy
i have now started a new artwork project which will take the form of a one string electric bass guitar. after thinking about the idea since the summer and researching some of the history of these minimal instruments i have commissioned bailey guitars from ayr in scotland to craft this latest artwork and musical instrument combination. i visited their premises the other day for the initial planning and design of the piece. i might make some kind of accompanying short film too when it is finished
ensuciadores is the name of a new collaborative project between myself and london based musician javier silverio. a three track ep with artwork is available for download on the remixes and collaborations page. it can also be heard on the new soundcloud page i have set up for current work
in october i collaborated again with paris based artist wayn malm and between us we managed to produce a four track ep based on field recordings and improvisations we made over the course of a weekend in london. the resulting work can be downloaded on the remixes and collaborations page. an accompanying video can be seen here
a short piece of dance based music is on the remixes and collaborations page. taken from an afternoon of improvised music with silveriofunk and vj mowgli. one of a few current ongoing projects. have a listen
