Supersonic Noise Box – Dual oscillator optical synthersizer
I was recently commissioned by VIVID and Capsule to produce and install eight pieces of Sonic Graffiti in Digbeth, Birmingham. These are sound objects, embedded in the built environment. The commission was split between four pieces that featured the “Crash EP” of [...]
This is my third year of attending Supersonic Festival. Each of those years I have had the pleasure of performing and completing my wonky diary / review following the event (2009 / 2010).
It was with great pleasure that I supported Emeralds at the Hare and Hounds on Sunday.
It was my first gig at the Hare and Hounds and the first public performance of my new Mr Underwood material. I was nervous. I had rehearsed a lot, as ever, but due to circumstances [...]
Today I tweeted: “Hmmm, what is it that makes bands miss Birmingham on their tours? I have no idea how it works but I’d like to play a part in changing it..!?”. From the responses it seems there is a lot of interest and frustration surrounding this. I already knew this but my interest was [...]

Last weekend I played a thoroughly enjoyable gig at the Frog and Fiddle in Cheltenham. It wasn’t as well attended as I’d like but the room was ace, the sound system was storming and everyone who was there was there was lovely and seemed to really enjoy it! BINGO!
Having been concentrating on other things [...]
Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Open Sound Group session, run by sound artist and friend, Graham Dunning. Graham has been on residency in Rea Garden for a while now and he was keen to get local experimental musicians together to create compositions based on the space and [...]
