December

So I’ve spent the last week holed up in studio with my cohort Adam Haggar of Stars Don’t Sleep, recording the (almost) final bits of my new album. Expect a few new tracks to trickle out before the end of the year…

I’ve also got a final show of 2011 planned, it’s on December 28th at the Living Room in Manhattan.  Hope you can attend.  Details here.

El Resplandor

Back in NYC, spiralling inexorably towards Winter.

The new Nettle record has been released–  El Resplandor: The Shining in Dubai is now available, and it’s pretty fantastic. Check it out.

Now back to finishing up all the work from my residency. It’s about results.

Castle Life

Working with Filastine in his Barcelona studio was great, his new album’s going to be expansive in every way. If you’re on the East Coast of the U.S. you have a chance to see him live on tour this week, highly recommended!
Now I’m back in the countryside, writing music and planning a project with my fantastic fellow artist-in-residence Christophe Dentin.
I’m really excited about the work I’m doing out here in the middle of nowhere… as entropy accelerates everywhere around. Now back to fiddling while the world temperature rises…
