A gift for my friends who once supported me a lot and make the best music ever, I Monster.

Here is a sound trailer/sampler for Frogman by Dean Honer & Supreme Vagabond Craftsman. Featuring the voice of Russell Senior - also the voices of Richard Speight, Terry O'Connor & Heidi Kilpelainen (aka HK119).

Available on vinyl or digitally here.

A sort of Day of the Triffids meets Scarfolk type of thing. It is all very reminiscent of the Radiophonic Workshop soundtracks & Public Information Films that are ingrained in all (British) children of the 1970s. Unnerving stuff.

Originally released in 2018, reissued 2022.

The Sound Of Science - s/t LP - Castles In Space presents a set of catchy folktronic songs about science! With a super cover by Nick Taylor.

Dean Honer is a Sheffield based musician, producer and founding member of many iconic electronic music bands including The All Seeing I, I Monster, The Moonlandingz and The Eccentronic Research Council. He has worked as a producer for bands such as The Human League, Add N to X and Roisin Murphy. Kevin Pearce is a songwriter from Essex. He has received plaudits for his work from The Independent, The Guardian and Mojo magazine. His music has been used on HBO programmes in the USA as well as BBC TV shows in the UK. Dean explains the background and inspiration for the album: “The idea for The Sound of Science had been in my head for a number of years. “Being a parent of young kids I endured a lot of very cliched and awful children's songs that were attempting to combine education and entertainment. These quickly became a form of torture to me, something that the CIA might use in covert operations to flush out a drug cartel from their hideout. It became apparent that there was a desperate need for informative songs and music that were appealing and bearable for both children and their parents. “I recruited my friend Kevin Pearce, (who I have produced and collaborated with on various projects over the years), to bounce ideas off and who could put together a nice series of chords and could sing! Which helps when writing songs. Kevin is from an acoustic folk background and I'm more of a one finger synth player in the Human League tradition. I thought it would be interesting to mix the folk and electronic element together for children’s songs. “We then recruited various artists to sing on the tracks including PsychFolk singer Sharron Kraus, performance artist Heidi Kilpaleinen (HK119), synth goddess Tara Busch, artist and ex Add N to X man Steven Claydon and vocalists Liza Violet and Tom O'Hara. “Kevin and I are both interested in science and astronomy so that was the obvious direction for the album. Writing songs about various scientific subjects was interesting and a challenge. Aiming them at children meant that we didn't need a PHD for the lyrics. It became more about conveying a sense of wonder and presenting some amazing facts to audience. “In 2018 we were asked by Sheffield University to work on a live version of the album and to collaborate with some of their senior scientists on the project. This turned The Sound of Science into a live performance spectacular involving scientific experiments on stage, a live band performing the songs, plus 3D visuals created by Human in Sheffield. We performed 3 shows over two days and the reaction from kids and their parents was amazing. More festival shows due in 2020 were curtailed because of the pandemic, but we hope to get the show back on the road in 2022.” The Sound of Science is available in gatefold coloured vinyl and CD editions. The package includes an accompanying booklet beautifully designed and Illustrated by Nick Taylor for spectral-studio.co.uk All songs written and performed by Dean Honer and Kevin Pearce. Produced by Dean Honer. Vocals by Kevin Pearce, Sharron Kraus and the Verve Children's Choir of Sheffield. Featuring guest vocals by: Liza Violet - Photosynthesis (Love the Green Machines). Tom O'Hara - What Makes A Sound. Steven Claydon - Everything's Made of Atoms. HK119 - Global Warming. Tara Busch - The Solar System. Henry and Ellis Goddard - A Total Solar Eclipse. Rebecca Hammond - A Total Solar Eclipse. Science notes by Dr Nate Adams.
