Safe House 7

played so obnoxious on this. It felt great

Safe House Brighton returns with a seventh LP of improvised music – I’m on three tracks, 7), 8) & 16), playing treated recordings, rockist guitar (listen above) & ambient doom riffs, respectively.  Full LP here.

I’ve been on several of these now, a project that began in the solitary madness of lockdown and was too powerful to die.  This will probably be my last go-round – but I haven’t decided yet.

Here’s the blurb:

A system of 18 trios were created, whereby no one player could play with the same person more than once. Cards with the 18 players names on were shuffled and depending on the order they were drawn, each player was given a number. These 18 musicians sent in a recording of themselves playing, between 4 and 6 minutes long. This solo performance/recording was sent to the player “below” them to play along with. This recorded duet was then sent to the player “below” them to play along with.

Players were invited to record whatever they wanted, whilst listening to and accompanying the track “above”.

The final trio of each unique group is what you are listening to here!

gig or 50’s Communist jazz club rally? YOU decide

Thanks to Leroy Brown Photography for these noirish shots of last week’s gig with Austerity (fig. 5) & Blue Spectre (6)… Here you see me modelling the “epicene villain” look… Was a great night, very intense, and these capture some of that dark energy.  Behold!

Here are some photos from last week’s Eight Miles High gig at the Prince Albert… Also features Barney on drums, Be Kind Cadaver getting all up in yr bizness & 2/5 of Codex Serafini being incredible.  It was a very nice night – if you weren’t there I pity you, I really do x

bleeding for my art – which I hope not to do all over that nice, classy stage
