WSOTR#3 NirvanaNight

Music from the night, straight from the recorder. Mistakes and all....

Alas! No drawing competition results - wouldn't fit on a 74 minute CD...

Back in the Bright Lights [take 2]


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!

Back in the Bright Lights

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...

It's been a long time...

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!

It's gig time again...

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.

I wonder...

... how many people who are currently bleating about their photographs being misappropriated from flickr are/were quite happy downloading music without paying for it?

Just asking.

Just in case you're a last.fm user, just a note to say that I've uploaded the 2003 release 'Available from Namke Communications' (originally released on Leeds' Fencing Flatworm label) up to namke communications' last.fm page - also available there is the 2003 single 'ice-9'

Let me know what you think - leave comments ;-)

Uncontrolled rant at the celebration of mediocrity present in today's society

I've just come back from my local camera club ('York photographic society') where we had an 'exhibition' - actually a couple of CD-roms of prizewinning entries to a couple of competitions. The first was the FIAP: " FIAP 23rd Colour Slide Biennial 2004". Now, Ok, this is a few years old now but I thought it might be interesting.

Wrong.
