My attempt at an interactive website to augment the experience of the Bones Of London album is up and running... full of Easter eggs and dark little surprises, just like the album. All the lyrics are on there too, and you can listen to the songs while reading them. At least you can on my computer. Multi-platform interactive web design is not my forte...but I can see the potential of it and I think we are not making nearly enough use of the internet for these things. Hopefully the next generation of programmers will be encouraged to explore this rather than just used to design complicated car adverts.
A Boy Like X, the debut album from Bones of London, is available now on iTunes and Spotify - co-produced and mixed by me
The official video for Difficult by Bones of London - filmed and directed by me
Very pleased to have helped to mix this Telajeta album... amazing jazzy re-imaginings of Venezuelan folk music by some very talented friends...listen now on Soundcloud
The whole of Bones of London's first album (working title "Without Wax"), which will be released on Minced Oaths later this year, can be heard on Soundcloud now (at least, in its current state...)
A belated announcement - the Blam! album "Attached / Detached" which I recorded in my old studio in Hackney is out now. It is the first release on my label, Minced Oaths, through which I hope to release all manner of high quality music made by myself and others.
Blam! are a jazz quartet with audible influences even wider-reaching than their own origins (Maltese, Italian, Chilean and Greek). The album's reflective atmosphere represents the band's sound perfectly - intelligent and evocative composition combined with edgy live improvisation. Guest spots from Tal Janes and Rob Milne are some of the many highlights, but like the best jazz albums, the magic moments that keep you coming back simply come from capturing a great live band playing together, in the moment.
The Sixtoes album is finally out and sounding luscious... This version has bonus tracks that are probably my favourites from the whole album

Musical Armageddon
I had a Mayan-style realisation today that mainstream music is on a downward spiral - obvious enough - but that it's possible to calculate exactly when actual musical armageddon is going to occur.
It's based on the "Revival" phenomenon - it seems to me that the musical styles that are getting 'revived' are increasingly recent, that is they're catching up with NOW. The void of originality is increasing in size like a black hole sucking the past ever closer, and by studying past revivals we can work out the point, almost to the day, when the apocalypse will occur.
To roughly plot two points on the graph... (1) I seem to remember there was a 60s revival during britpop in the mid to late 90s ('revival' here meaning that everyone realised the current music wasn't actually original, but it was too depressing to admit it). (2) I was recently told that the 90s are coming back in any time now. So that's 30 years for the first revival and 20 years for the second... do you see how this works?
I hope someone else gets it because I really can't be bothered to work the rest out but I want to know when it's going to happen so I can be ready...
Of course there are red herrings like the new Daft Punk album which is a pure disco revival but we can ignore that. We just can.
What will happen when the past catches up with us? Either it will overtake us and we will hurtle forwards into unknown and totally new and beautiful worlds of music, or there'll be an enormous explosion, the sound of which will echo forward into eternity, drowning out all other sounds. I thought that was what was happening when I accidentally switched on Capital FM today in the car and heard Ke$ha's new single.
Please let me know when you've worked it out and let's be ready to fill in the gap when there is finally total silence and we can start again for all the right reasons.
