What are we so afraid of?
30.07.2023 New film work recorded at Wells Cathedral, Somerset UK. Featuring the sarcophagus of Bishop John Harewell (1360-1386) which is covered in medieval graffiti, apotropaics and dates, thought to reflect a desire to protect against witchcraft among common people. Protect what, from whom, remains unclear.

Canaries
16.11.2022
Busy day! Just uploaded Canaries, my latest film work. It is a bit of an excursion from previous work, both visually (maybe) and soundtrack (definitely). After much gestation it made it through my final filter and out into the world as it currently is. Good response from 'nearest and dearest' so far. Hopefully a FilmFreeway submission soon.

So excited to welcome the Adventurous Music label from Leipzig, Germany to the grey clay schedule. Artists featured will include (so far) Hendekagon, Pangea, INYAN & Corina Retzlaff and Signalstoerung. This represents a big expansion musically and creatively and I'm really grateful to Ro for making it happen and connecting me with this particularly inspiring German scene. Watch this space!
20th artist added to grey clay schedule!
12.11.2022
Delighted to connect with Paul from Dragon and Jettenbach and include their albums in the grey clay schedule. Absolutely immense, deep sound. (Also now Peter's solo album under 'Dragon' added.) Grey clay is becoming such a... thing.
Design idea
10.11.2022
Well, those grey clay tees, stickers and flyers are getting out there! (Thank you to Gavin Morrow for sending a pic of a little grey grey sticker looking fine among some others in Nottingham.) Already thinking about the next teeshirt print run. Looking into local screen printers to get a nicer quality. Here's a one-colour design for the next print run, coming soon!
31.10.2022
Samhain greetings! All my grey clay contributors being sent a free teeshirt, QR code hex stickers and A4/A5 posters as part of a little experiment with promotion.

New Disorganism EP 'A Thyrsus' released on Bandcamp. (Soundcloud maxed me out on my included space so, hello Bandcamp!)
5 tracks, one of which being the soundtrack to my film Meniscus which stands up as a track in its own right and brings a little (dim) light to the EP's darkness. In the mid 80's, living in Hackney, I met a beautiful Japanese woman called Maya Horiuchi. Maya later visited me in Liverpool and recorded her voice reading a verse from Omar Khayyam in English and Japanese. Criminally, I never did anything with the recordings, until now. Maya and I lost contact over 30 years ago but I truly hope she is happy and well and that an energy from me is somehow reaching her. A Thyrsus reflects other darknesses: beautiful agonies and shadowed arches. It is both a threshold and a disappearing act.
Cover photo: audio diary cassette 1. Liverpool 1986.
