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

Cath Coffey: Walk (Score Version)

Money Mark: All the People

Chinese Man Records: More

Eels Shootenanny!: Love of the Loveless

Angst4: In Gefahr (Industries Remix)

I made my first official remix for the great German post-punk band Angst4 and their song ‘In Gefahr’. I dissected all their stems and transformed them into an electromagnetic whirlwind of gloomy dangerous sounds. Enjoy the trip. Headphones recommended. Listen here. X

One off radio show for Reform Radio

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.
