I’m having an excellent time this week on the Sloth Racket and Anthropods double bill tour. These things are epic to organise, but once you get there and actually do the gigs it’s so worth it. Two great gigs so far in Sheffield and Canterbury; tonight we’re in London at Hundred Years Galley and then tomorrow onwards to Norwich. If you’re in the UK and near either of those places, info and tickets are on the Sloth Racket website:
Next week it's the public end of year concert by City University Experimental Ensemble, which I've been leading this year. 19:00-20:00 on Wednesday 10th April in the Performance Space at City, University of London and it's free to attend:

There will be improvisation, conduction, a piece by guest artist Sam Andreae, and a film with soundtrack by the Field Recording Ensemble.
Come along for experimental sounds!

This tour has been a ton of work but it's happening! My band Sloth Racket will play four UK dates next month with the awesome Austrian band Anthropods...

The third installment of my Setlist zine series is out today and I'm really pleased with it. A great bunch of artists on board:
- honor ash
- Laura Cole
- Caroline Kraabel
- Han-earl Park
These A7 mini-zines are collections of small starting points for improvised performance, and this time the theme was 'a question'. I love what people came up with!

New project! ‘Setlist’ zine out today...
A riso-printed A7 mini-zine anthology of provocations/titles/agitations/starting points for improvised performance, featuring work by David Birchall, Dee Byrne, Kate Carr, Graham Dunning, Anton Hunter and me.
It's been of lot of fun putting this together!
Available now from my new webshop:

Working on a mini zine project and trying to decide on ink colour. All three samples look great….guess that means I’ll ultimately do three zines?!
It's pretty messy when bands make a duplicate Bandcamp page for albums already on a label site, but hey, we're doing it for Ripsaw Catfish anyway. Anton Hunter and I released our third album Carapace last year on Raw Tank Records; now you can buy stock direct from us and support us to do future things!

6 track album
Tomorrow night, Wednesday 28th June: at Flim Flam with Dee Byrne, part of our run of summer dates. I’ll actually be playing Lyra-8 synth, and Dee will be on acoustic alto sax - this worked great last night in Bristol so looking forward to doing it again…
A new thing: there's now a cassette edition of the duo album Disembark! that I released with Dee Byrne back in 2020. I hand-cut and printed up the cases and I'm really happy with how they ended up!
It's available from our label Luminous:
