New(ish) Trio
New project. A Greater Horror It’s a trio of piano, electric (fretless) bass, and drums. Sort of post-jazz meets math-rock meets contemporary classical meets electronics.
Back on that (digital) horse!

After meeting and playing with Hervé Perez back when The Noise Upstairs’ Sheffield night started in early 2010 we got to talking about doing a recording together. It took a bit to work out the logistics of when/where and all…

Circuit-Bending Workshop
I ran my first Circuit-Bending Workshop, as part of The Noise Upstairs’ new quarterly workshops. I limited it to only a handful of toys to guarantee that everyone had a ‘winner’ at the end, to avoid what happened to me…
We Need New Noise
Anton invited me to co-run The Noise Upstairs with him. And by invite, I mean, kick him in the ass, and organize a bunch of crap. Who did what is really besides the point. (It was me) The point is…
