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!

Safehouse 6 – an improv epic

There’s a 6th installment of the ongoing Safehouse album project (and I’m on it).  This is another free improv epic, part of a vast unfolding tale that started in lockdown…  Here’s what I wrote about the first one I played on, shortly after the world changed.  Track above features some gleefully horrible guitar from me, pitted against two other musicians, while the entire album can be heard on Bandcamp, here.
