It couldn't sound further detached from my oddball instrumental 'Poop', but tomorrow's release, 'Hung', was recorded on the same day, using recordings taken from instruments in the same antique shop. It's something that I've been sitting on for nearly a year, and has gone through many changes. Whether or not this is the closest to "finished" I can make it remains to be seen, but it definitely feels like time to let go.



Arty news now, and my art journal shenanigans will start back up on Tuesday along with my character portraits and maybe the odd painting too.

But for now why not check out Lizzie Badger's free zine for which I supplied a doodle.

Hey Geeza!


The new 'Audio Bin' track is out and features only the audio kindly donated by A White Kid, But I prefer Romina Power, Jonathan Beckenstein, Plastic Inevitable, pretzels malone and Storm the Palace, with artwork by the wonderful Stitch Therapy!



Got any unused or undesirable audio kicking about? Give it another chance by sending it over to me and my little side-project. More info here.

'Hey Geeza!', the third track to be released through my 'Audio Bin' side-project, is due out tomorrow and features audio kindly donated by A White Kid, But I prefer Romina Power, The Couch King, Jonathan Beckenstein, pretzels malone and Storm the Palace, with artwork by Emma Parker (Stitch Therapy)






































'Till then, here's my version of The Couch King's 'Buttermilk Biscuit' to be chewing on. Uploaded in the middle of the week, but still pretty fresh... enjoy!

Recorded in one of more inward moods, 'Exit Bag' is overall darker and eerier than my usual funk-laced noodles. With a backbone of strung out sounds, all bent out of shape, gnarled and lethargic. And a core of laired robotic chords. I see it as the sci-fi soundtrack that never was. An alien with human parts... which also happens to be out via SoundCloud and Bandcamp tomorrow. 






































On a more uptempo note, my version of The Couch King's 'Buttermilk Biscuit' is coming along nicely too. And may even be ready for a midweek release... but I'm promising nothing. As this open-collab has proven, it's pretty astonishing what can be done with just a single stem:



Finally, on top of the many collaborative projects and side-projects that I'm juggling at the moment, I've also started to plan out my first few zines. I'm aiming to have something ready in the next week or so, as I'm going for a rough and ready approach. But again, I'm promising nothing.

Whether or not I'll be selling them also remains to be seen, but the odd freebie is definitely on the cards.

Being a huge admirer of Robot Richard and Sofia DeVille, I felt it a huge honour to be asked to produce their track 'Treehouse Gurl'. 

I wanted to craft something that reflected the personality of everyone involved, including myself. The result is a track of chapters. Something that's always morphing and evolving, getting more and more distant from the original source material, almost edging into remix terrain by the end. But in a way I see it as journey through each of our own back-catalog too. With each of our own signature styles sharing light and space. 

You'll know what I mean when 'Treehouse Gurl (feat. Robot Richard & Sofia DeVille)' is released tomorrow.






































Course, this means that my monthly 'Stems' pack isn't making an appearance tomorrow. Basically I'm favouring the idea of a yearly bundle, more than likely during the festive period. So keep your ears to the ground around December for 'Wou...' open collabs. 

And speaking of collaborations, I'm still after your submissions, be it to my new 'Sound Collage' project or my 'Audio Bin'. Please do check them out if you haven't already. 

Finally, here's a little treehouse music to get you in the mood for 'Treehouse Gurl', courtesy of the treehouse girl herself...
