Wild Bees V.S Dan Shears & the Velveteen Orkestra

So we invited ourselves along to Brighton's Green Door Store to film the incredibly bleak but beautiful (their music that is) Dan Shears & the Velveteen Orkestra.


The footage and sound have turned out brilliantly, which of course was mildly helped along by the band's great performance!


Dan and the gang will also be making an appearance at Meadowlands Festival, so we may well be having it out with them again!


If you like what you hear from these vids, you can hear and learn more about them here.

All set for Meadowlands now (except for a sleeping bag and a hip flask - which is more important we wonder???).

Keep checking back for regular updates and videos.

La Vacance!

Went on a cheap weekend break to Dieppe a couple of weeks ago and took the zoom H2 recorder with the hope of recording some interesting french noises to make some kind of composition out of it.

One of my best mates Rich (aka Ambeson) from back in Surrey incorporates a lot of this type of music concrete/found sound stuff into his music so I thought I'd have a go. It's sort of turned into something of a tribute now I think about it. Anyway, he does a far better job of it, check out his music here

I hope to be posting some more music up soon.

Here's the track, hope you enjoy it! Feel free to comment.
