New (old) mix
Here’s an old mix I found on a tape I made about 15 years ago on a long hazy afternoon – hooked up three decks and got the tape recorder going as I worked my way through my collection of old 70′s electronic albums. Pretty murky sounding, but a nice way to spend 50 minutes of your time… Hope you enjoy!
NEW RELEASE: PACIFIC
Decided to put my latest release up, entitled Pacific. It’s a bit of a messy beast, that goes to and fro, but I enjoyed making it and I hope some of you might enjoy listening to it too.
You can download it for free over at bandcamp: http://bit.ly/l01xGP
Enjoy!
Wind

Birds
Well, I haven’t posted a field recording for a while, but here’s a quick one I made this morning while the birds were going crazy in my garden…
New Landrecorder album – Recordings 1-18
It’s finally done – you can download or just have a listen here if you fancy! Hope you enjoy it…
Top 15!
After a few months of domestic chaos, I finally managed to grab a few moments the other night to get back in front of the computer with making music in mind… and I have to admit I found it a pretty testing experience. What with one thing and another I’ve probably been doing a lot more listening to music than recording or trying to write it over the last few months.
With that in mind, it struck me that now seemed as good a time as any to reflect on the music that I’ve enjoyed in the last 12 months or so. Here’s a top fifteen of my favourites – some old, some new and some that I’ve just rediscovered…

Causers of This – Toro Y Moi

Review of ‘Fern Battles’ on Disquiet.com
Just found this really nice review of ‘Fern Battles’ on the fabulous Disquiet – been so busy with non-music related projects like moving house, looking after my son and trying to get some sleep that I’d missed it – a belated thanks to Marc.
I keep promising it, but new music and new field recordings will be on their way, hopefully in the not too distant future – it’s been a hectic few months but things are slowly beginning to settle down. Once I have a new, clear space to work in, (that isn’t full of cardboard boxes and children’s toys), then watch this space…
Autumn is coming!
Just a short recording of the wind blowing through the tree outside our house as the weather starts to get distinctly autumnal…
new (self) release – fern battles EP
So, I’ve just released a short mini-ep of four tracks called fern battles, which you’re all welcome to download for free from http://bit.ly/96GzCG if the fancy takes you.
There’s four tracks – two of which, ‘rita’ and ‘black hill’ have made an appearance here – the other two, ‘english landscape’ and ‘sketch I’ are new. Hope you enjoy it if you have the time!
