Moving...
Not that you can really tell, but the site has now switched hosting providers. The new host offers 'unlimited' storage, so I'm hoping to get a bit more music up here soon.

neuschlaufen will be hitting the stage again next week - 19th March at York City Screen's Basement venue - along with four other bands.
It's going to be a hectic night - and only £3 on the door. Bargain!

The latest musical project had its first outing last week (20th Feb. 2011). The band is called neuschlaufen; it turns out that someone (who?) recorded the last track and put it on YouTube...
we even got a positive mention in a review too
Here's to the next one...

After a long (long, long) while I've started doing a bit of music again. Initially re-inspired by Robert Hayler (over at Radio Free Midwich), I'm almost up and running again.
Anyway, two tracks over at SoundCloud:
- Laid Waste the first 'new' track - overdubbed guitars and synth textures;
- Bass/exp something long and rambling (20 minutes) - completely live, created using a bass guitar, drum machines and a little something I knocked up in Reaktor
Enjoy!

Monday saw a press release from Kodak announcing that the iconic Kodachrome film is to be discontinued.
Ok, it's a sad announcement (some people swear by its colour reproduction and its archival qualities), but I take umbrage at the way in which it has been reported!
If you watch the TV reports or read the news articles, the death of Kodachrome has almost universally been attributed to 'the increase of digital photography'. This is not so.

I refer you, dear reader, to these abominations. I am, quite simply, speechless with rage and anger. This is several steps up from their previous scare campaign.
This is ridiculous. I feel like the entire UK is being run by the f***ing Stasi. When's the wall being built?
Are they trying to provoke a civil war?

Craig and I were chatting on new year's eve, bemoaning the fact that we haven't felt particularly musically-creative of late. So we decided that we'd do something together. I felt that a more loose, improvised thing would be good to do (in the past, my live performances have always had a certain improvised nature to them - tracks are broken down into their component parts, fed into some sort of sequencer and then 'mashed up' live).
So anyway, after two rehearsals (which ended up being pretty different in their musical output), we have our first gig.
