Having a root around my computer I stumbled upon this TEOE track I was working on that never got uploaded. Bit of a mathy noisy collage thing in a similar vein to the worriedaboutsatan and Bleeding Heart Narrative remixes, all of which I still hope to play live sometime in the future. The Exploits of [...]

Rather lovely review of the Model Warships record from Manchester-based Pigeon Post (where coincidentally I’ll be moving in around two weeks): http://thepigeonpost.wordpress.com/2010/05/28/model-warships/ If you’re on Hype Machine please give it some love, it’s the first track we’ve had featured! http://hypem.com/#/artist/model+warships

Model Warships’ second album ‘Capsules’ is now up in full on Bandcamp. I don’t play on this, I’m just in the live band, but it’s awesome and I wholeheartedly recommend it. There’s also a torrent Torrent if that’s more your thing.

Thankfully a four month absence from this blog is in no way indicative of my musical output, and I’m here to PROVE IT with FACTS: the debut Syuzhet EP is finished and awaiting mastering via the wonderful Ollie Thurley of Ithaca Trio, for subsequent release by the equally worthy of marvel www.recordsonribs.com. There’s also an [...]

ONE Work is finally underway to record the Syuzhet material that I’ve been writing over the past year and a bit, hurrah! Unfortunately my new found means with which to record it has coincided with getting one of those job things, so my free/not knackered time is a lot more scarce (and will probably result [...]

We got the recordings back from the session we (The Exploits of Elaine) did at the ICA for the Calling Out of Context festival, and it’s got me thinking a little about the nature of “free” improvisation. Here’s a clip I cut out, the full thing will appear in some form once we’ve had a [...]

I’ve convinced myself that I take on so many simultaneous projects because I’m incapable of concentrating on any one thing for a decent amount of time, and that by operating in a variety of mediums and idioms I can quickly settle back into a creative flow whenever my brain decides to change spin cycle (which [...]

In a bid for the title of Telford’s Most Pretentious Dole Scum I’m currently dividing my time between learning to speak French, reading Deleuze and Guattari and writing electric guitar-based contemporary classical music. Unfortunately for this already dubious endeavor mon français est très mauvais, I understand even less of the D+G, and I’ve completed only [...]
