'Stems III' is coming your way tomorrow, with selections from 'Glory Hole', 'Lack Of Sleep' and '0301: Invincible Bark'.

Some of you might've noticed that I haven't been posting much in the way of artwork lately. Basically, I've decided to take a little break. It's nothing final. I just need a bit of time to recharge and explore different avenues. That said, there are a few new tracks on the horizon. So it won't be an all out hiatus, more a few weeks in the shade. 

Happy thoughts,

Brain Stems (feat. Robot Richard)

Something new from the Robot and Wou...

When Robot Richard asked me whether I'd be interested in writing a trap track with him, of course I agreed. Working with Robot is a sheer joy. His sense of rhythm, rhymes and delivery have me floored at every corner. His sense of creativity, infectious... There was one thing though, bar the odd track here and there, I wasn't overly familiar with trap music. Saying that, I love a challenge and anything that pushes me into places of unknown creative potential.

What came out was something more themed on trap than actual trap. Probably as I went off on a diluted jazz-based tangent before the hack-up began. The result belongs somewhere between the two genres. Not fully committing to either, just dabbling with the ideas presented by both... But never mind my blabber, you can make your own mind up about 'Brain Stems' from tomorrow, when it parks itself over on SoundCloud.

Many thanks to But I prefer Romina Power, The Couch King, Jonathan Beckenstein, Language of Shapes, pretzels malone, Storm the Palace and Weighty Tree for donating audio to this oddball project, and making this particular track sound the way it does.




Special thanks to Emma Parker for her wonderful artwork. The Sporz, and absolutely everyone who had a go at naming this track.

Next 'Audio Bin' track due 15/06/2015... 'till then, enjoy!

I'd like to begin with Wednesday, and the naming of my first 'Audio Bin' track. I had a fair few suggestions, but in the end the hat decides and the first one out was (*drumroll*)... 'Karnak,' as suggested by The Sporz. Big fat massive thanks to him, and to everyone that joined in...

The track itself is a simple collage, crafted using only the audio kindly given to me. A real mixed bag of sounds and textures, which I reversed, chopped up, oscillated and looped the hell out of. Sounds horrific, but hopefully the end result pleases, even soothes. 

'Karnak' will be released tomorrow, featuring audio donated by But I prefer Romina Power, The Couch King, Jonathan Beckenstein, Language of Shapes, pretzels malone, Storm the Palace and Weighty Tree, with artwork by one of my favourite artists, Emma Parker.

'Karnak' isn't all on the horizon, as next week marks the first anniversary of 'Wou-Wou & The Wormling', a project that I set up to push myself into uneasy creative ground. Have I done that? Well maybe not as much as I'd originally set out to, but my work with chance certainly forced me into a few corners, as did my synesthesia paintings, continuous line drawing and the aforementioned 'Audio Bin' experiments. But overall it's been a balanced year. One of challenges and comfort. A space to just doodle and make music without wacky agendas. A byproduct of pushing myself to do something little unusual maybe? All I know is that I'm overwhelmed by the response that I've received in my first year acting as 'Wou...'.

So over next week I'm going to be doing a few special little things to say thanks. Thanks for all the support, positivity and good vibes. I didn't expect anything like it, 'Wou...' would be here without it, it's my therapy, but it's made so much better for all the love. It's made me dig a little deeper at times, given me new creative opportunities, but mostly, I've gained friends from it!

This extended thanks include's a special 52 track 'Wou-Wou Repost' retrospect of my favourite SoundCloud ditties from my first year under 'Wou...'. But I'll also be giving away various freebies, updating the society6 page with new prints and t-shirt designs, and sharing some of my favourite artists/blogs/tweeters/good-eggs throughout the coming weeks. 

I aim to start work on some new creative experiments, paintings and other artsy techniques over the next week too. Things have grown a little stale for me again. Seems I can't stick at one thing longer than a month or so. Plus there's more music on its way, including a 'Jazz-Trap' track collaboration with the one and only Robot Richard. Whom, coincidentally released a track using my 'King Skirmish' beat stem from this months 'Stems' pack. His track 'Tyrant Skirmish' and MidiPunk's wonderful drum addition on 'Make It Pretty' are below for your enjoyment.

3HD [EP]

My 'Three Hippos Deep' remixes have landed... enjoy!

Sunday Post

New York funk rockers, Three Hippos Deep, let me take their tracks to the chopping block, and tomorrow I unveil my efforts in the '3HD [EP]'...

My goals for these remixes (much like the remix that I did for 'Storm the Palace') was to make something that stood apart from the original, but not so much that the two are totally disconnected from each other. I want you to be able to listen to both the original and the remix side-by-side without feeling like you'd just listened to the same thing twice, but deep down you know that they're related somehow. 

But mostly, I wanted to make something playful and fun. 3HD's music appeals to me for much the same reasons. That and it funks like hell! But the fun factor was high on my list. 

Anyway, I could try and describe something that you can't hear for hours, but instead why don't you come back tomorrow and hear it for yourself. But while you're waiting, why not wrap your ears around the funky originals to get a taste of what's to come. Bon appétit!

There's so many tidbits coming out over the Summer, I can barely contain my excitement! The fun begins with the audio snippets that I'm sharing in 'Stems II', which is out tomorrow... 

But that really is the most minor of things when compared with the host of art and music collaborations, remixes and 'Audio Bin' releases coming out over the next few months.

And did I mention that 'Wou-Wou...' is officially a year old in a few weeks. I'm going to be doing some downloadable freebies, as well as compiling a special SoundCloud playlist of my favourite tracks from my first year doing 'Wou...'. 

So forgive me the short post and the lack of detail in it, (especially since it's my first in nearly a month) but time is a'wasting and my to-do list is a'calling.

Happy thoughts,
