Bomblet

These are the I think the first three of the lockdown tunes, of which there are 10 or 12 in all. I mixed these down on a pair of headphones so if any sound engineers are listening, It’s like this, I have neighbours and they are usually home, these days

That’s all om saying on the matter. I’ve already said to much . I know anything that might seem to preach…

The resulting installation was exhibited at Liverpool’s Writing on the Wall festival and the…

Armageddon Guitars

You’d maybe expect guitars of the apocalypse to be a bit more Thrash and Death-Metal? No, these are the kinds of guitar you can expect to find after the event. No more Gibson, no more Gretsch, or Fender. We’d most probably have to adapt to survive without other neat items like juicers and cereal fortified with vitamins. In many ways this is a project of ignorance. My original idea…
