Apple Festival Gig

Sat, 08 Oct 2011 10:00:00 +0100

I’m playing a gig next Saturday 15th October at a wonderful festival just outside Brighton called Apple Festival. I will be doing it on Saturday at about 1pm and it will be a Broken Jukebox session. Every song is improvised from audience suggestions, so there is enormous potential for failure. If you think it would be fun to see someone not succeed in public, on a stage, I recommend that you come.

Here is a video of a song from the last gig based on the audience suggestion “Earwax”:

Also, I know some of the other acts that are playing and they are all top notch! It should be a splendid festival, especially if you like apples.

Tridentfest 2011: SECOND SCREENING!

Tridentfest 2011: SECOND SCREENING!:

Following the success of the screening last Friday, we have been awarded a second chance to force our unholy creations down the eye-cords of innocents at Cambridge Film Festival. I completed the soundtrack to The Purple Fiend on time, and it turned out pretty good, even if I do say so myself! Come and check the films out and have a fun time with us tomorrow, Friday 23 Sept, 18:15, at the Cambridge Arts Picturehouse.

It may be that we hang out in the bar after the show, so if you like bars you’ll probably have a great time regardless. Laterz Potaterz.

In the evenings, after a hard day fighting mean timpani, killer bassoons, and Purple Fiends, I have been gently putting this mixtape together. It’s on a deep tip (like an iceberg) so put it on while you cook or do the ironing, or whatever the heck it is you get up to, weirdo!

Tracklisting:

Gold Panda - You - Seams Remix
Baby Oliver - Primetime (Uptown Express)
Anthony Shakir - Detroit State Of Mind - Space Dimension Controller Remix
Chicago Damn - If I Could
Recloose - Antares
Bakey Ustl - Nose Candy
Osunlade - No Way - Original Mix
Floating Points - J&W Beat
Mount Kimbie - Carbonated
Silkie - Beauty - Original Mix

Tridentfest 2011

Sat, 03 Sep 2011 10:12:00 +0100

Tridentfest 2011:

It’s bearing down upon us like an apocalyptic horseman! Two weeks to go until Tridentfest! ARRRRRRRGHHH!! I’m currently up to my earholes in orchestras, composing and producing the score for The Purple Fiend - a film we’ve been working on for over a year! Fear not, I will finish it in time. Yes siree. I’m not worried. Not one bit.

Seriously, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be ok. The music I’ve done so far is really great, anyway, and the film is going to blow your mind off your brain, man.

Plus there will be other films that will be weird and horrid and lovely and crap and good and hilarious, sometimes all at once!

Don’t be a silly idiot, book your ticket today to avoid disappointment! Do it here and now. Don’t end up like this guy, thinking “Why did I not go to Tridentfest? And why did I invest all my money buying property in Dubai? I should not have gone for igloos.”

Happy birthday Dad!

Wattsfest!

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:46:41 +0100

Wattsfest!:

I am performing a couple of times at a delightful little festival in Devon this weekend. If you happen to be going and you’d like to catch my sets I will absolutely allow it.

I’ll be live-narrating and playing acoustic songs to a little film adventure I’ve made on Friday night (tomorrow) at 12.30am or so in the Apocalypse Fete area.

Then on Saturday I’ll be doing some music stuff in the Apocalisco at 3pm. I was gonna do my film thing in this slot, but the projection isn’t visible enough in daylight so I’m going to do an ad-hoc rap / improv performance instead! Gulp.

Hope to see you there! woowoowoowoo

HOT HEAD SHOW - PAYLOAD

This is a music video I directed for the song PAYLOAD by HOT HEAD SHOW.

HOT HEAD SHOW are one of my favourite bands, you should check them out! They are just about to go on tour with Primus.

Andrzej Sosnowski shot this with laser eyes and furious angles, Sammy Patterson and Tom Mooring star in it with exquisite face / limb control and acting bazookas, Carl Peck did the illustrations with frustratingly sweet artistic dexterity and vicious pen strokes, and turbo-thanks must go to Ian Pons Jewell, Gaia Borretti, Jamie Fraser, Debs Anne, Andy Jenkin and Maria Diaz Montoya for being just really, really swell human beings.

Whaarroooo! Music fans rejoice! Today is most certainly a cause for celebration as it marks the exciting official release of the very first Mr Frisby’s Beat Pocket E.P! I’ve had these tracks sitting around for a while, but they have now been set loose to be enjoyed or regretted by all and sundry. I recorded them directly from the pocket using a stereo mic, some frozen peas and a packet of humbugs (the pocket seems to love them).

Take a listen and let me know what you think. You can download the tracks for free, or for a donation, from riiiiight aboouut HERE.
