Sonic Graffiti at Monomania

When Brother Bear posted a video of one of my Sonic Graffiti pieces installed in Cambridge as part of Monomania, I was reminded of how much I enjoyed making them and how I should probably share some pictures.

Here is the video:

Glatze, back on “the road”

After a good while in the studio working on my Glatze liveset and EP, and lots of other musical treats, I am back on “the road”.

Tomorrow night sees me performing my new liveset for the first time. I will be headlining a night at The Portland Arms, in sunny Cambridge. This gig came about through some peeps that watched me play at Supersonic last year. Since then I have reworked large sections of my liveset, which is all well and good in my studio, but I’ll be keen to see how it goes down live.

For a taster of what to expect, although it’s a rollercoaster ride as ever, here’s a live recording of the last track in my new set:

Looking forward to playing in front of someone other than myself again…
