I am proud to announce that the doom tuba duo ORE I am in has release it’s debut EP – listen here
Beyond Tree and Stone is the first official release by ORE. Proceeds from this EP will go towards the costs associated with transporting two large and unwieldy brass instruments and their players across the English Channel as we join Oxbow’s “Oxbow Chamber Orchestra” in Paris and Brussels in October 2012.
I am doing a talk/presentation on “Sonic Graffiti & Active Listening” on the 19th of August, at the rather swanky looking W Hotel in London. I’ll be discussing my Sonic Graffiti project and then spending some time getting people to focus on the sounds that they might normally ignore or filter out.
This is part of W London’s Ideas for Breakfast series, which is aimed at inspiring (and feeding) people. Here’s what Design Week had to say about it: Ideas for Breakfast
I have been asked by the delightful people at Worcestershire Film Festival to present a selection of music videos / animations as part of the festival in November.
The emphasis of the festival is to highlight locally created work. Self-made or something the band has had made is ideal. I won’t necessarily restrict it to local work if something really great comes up (as there is nothing wrong with presenting work from further afield if it’s really inspiring) but I am not interested in showing the latest ueber-flashy video commissioned by a major label. I’d much sooner uncover a hidden gem produced in a shed in rural Worcestershire!
So, if you think you have a video that might be right for showing in this context, fire away! Please post your links in the comments to this blog post or email me to make any other arrangements.
