A little teaser for a forthcoming software instrument that digs into a lost world of 1980s recordings, to create a unique new sound library drawn from my personal archive of 4-track tape machines, cassette recordings, tape loops, and experimental sound-making. More soon...

Sad to read of the passing of playwright, novelist and broadcaster Bonnie Greer. I vividly remember spending such a wonderful afternoon with her in the past.

I was already excited to be performing at Shadowlands with my band, Githead, but now I'm performing as Mischievous Misappropriators with my sonic pals Carl Stone and People Like us. This is going to be FUN!!! What an incredible line up now

Farewell today to the high priestess of polka dots, Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama (1929-2026). Her work was unforgettable and for her, a means to survival. It’s playful, psychedelic, compulsive, beautiful and slightly unsettling all at once. Into infinity and beyond Yayoi! 🔴🟡⚫️
