"Capture or Reveal" - Live in Studio

I'm getting myself ready for the upcoming O_R_k live dates, and here is a "LiveStudioDistanceRehearsalRecording" version of "Capture or Reveal" from the most recent album "Soul of an Octopus", magically concocted live from multiple simultaneous timezones, and featuring our guest cellist/vocalist Eleuteria Arena. We'll all be in the same place and time at the following dates very soon... 
Best Wishes to all for the New Year!

Burnt Belief - Anniversary of the End of the World

It's been quite some time since Burnt Belief decided to mark the end of the world with the release of our eponymous debut album.

For us Armageddon certainly proved to be an auspicious event since Jon Durant and myself have completed a further two full length albums, and Jon also played a huge part in shaping my collaborative album with Ukrainian vocal duo Astarta, …and it's not finished yet, our collaborative journey into Ukrainian music is still ongoing, but more in that in due course.



For now, we've chosen to mark the anniversary of the end, by setting up a Bandcamp page where all three albums - Burnt Belief, Etymology and Emergent - are now available in the usual audio format options.





Happy Solstice to all....

So far this year, I've played various live dates across Europe with O.R.k. Gaudi, Tim Bowness, Twinscapes and SDang! and recently I discovered a bandsintown.com page for myself which had been set up without my knowledge.



I've decided to take over the page, so from now on, any upcoming live dates can be found listed here:

Tim Bowness - Songs from the Ghost Light



I am playing both upright and electric bass on several tracks on Tim Bowness's new release "Songs From the Ghost Light", a mixture of studio and live performances.
Available now on CD and vinyl it is, I am told, to be considered a companion release to the latest album "Lost in the Ghost Light", which was released earlier this year.

For a full track listing, audio sample and more info, please see Tim Bowness's website:

Live with Gaudi


I've contributed bass to some of the tracks on his forthcoming album so it makes total sense to be joining Gaudi for some dates in support of his forthcoming album "Magnetic"
set for release on Rarenoise on June 16th.
The live band will be a four piece and also include Pippo De Palma (Loungedelic) on guitar and Nikolaj Bjerre on drums.
I've been working through the material in preparation and it's a heady mix of psychedelia, dub, krautrock and atmospherics, it's sure to be a great experience for band and audience alike…..looking forward to it!

First up is the Borderline in London, please click here for ticket information.

O.R.k. - I'm Afraid of Americans


We are happy to present our tribute to one of the greats, with a song that recent events have given a new and chilling resonance.

Macho Posturing, Nepotism, Divisive Messages, Growing Authoritarianism, the Exploitation of Fear, Marginalization of Minorities, Denial of Science, Mocking of the Disabled, a Government of Billionaires, and most worrying of all, Nuclear Sabre Rattling......we're not just afraid of Americans, we are afraid for Americans....
