My latest mix for alto radio is now available here.

Expect an eerie blend of vocals, found sounds from my sister’s friend’s hard drive from over 10 years ago, random song selections around the same BPM, merging folk, jazz, left-field electronica, trip hop and noise in an explorative and adventurous fashion.

These are the tracks played:

Mim Davies: No World but Here

Boards of Canada: Eagle in your Mind

Cath Coffey: Walk (Score Version)

Money Mark: All the People

You can now listen back to my fourth mix for alto radio as part of my new Sonic Journeys show.

Voices, drones, beats, wild patterns, synthetic and organic instruments, electronica, jazz, lightness, melancholia, floating, longing, exploring…

Hope you enjoy.

I produced special one of show for Reform Radio  presenting Manchester’s experimental electronic music producers: listen back here.

I start presenting my project and my most recent collaborative EP with Hervé also known as Nevsky Perspective  – we conducted a sound walk interview in Alexandra Park which I will play to you. Other guests in this show are sound artist Gary Fisher, genre-bending electronic music producers PERiiSU, Iceboy Violet and Clay . This show will be a journey through field recordings, conversations, interviews, sounds, beats, ranging from abstract to danceable, from acoustic to synthetic. We will talk about sound art, electronic music, compositional and production strategies, the role of improvisation and all the exciting projects we are all involved in despite lockdown.

You can now listen back to my third mix for alto radio as part of my new Sonic Journeys show. This mix is all about patterns, structures and experimentation. Expect repetition, surprises. Noises, orchestras. Overlaps, crossfades. New sensations. Hope you enjoy!

I’m so happy that the School of Electronic Music has chosen mix as their Mix Of The Month. My mix will take you on a journey through distorted sounds, experimental field recordings and cutting-edge beats, drowned in an eerie, dark atmosphere. It contains tracks by left-field electronica producers who inspire me, four of which are from Manchester. They are very idiosyncratic in their approach, open and adventurous in their experimentation. Enjoy the sonic trip! The mix can be found here. Hope you enjoy!
