Girl


A very busy week , music wise and it still hasn't finished . The week has been a combination of writing music, researching and swimming. The release of Ultra Tonal has been very exciting thanks to everyone involved for making it such. The company Fail was involved in the distribution design of the EP ,they worked for a fast down load speed of AIFF files Release page below ... Go and look at the release .It's lovely.

Yesterday I found out that my work Girl has been submitted by the British Jury for International Selection for the ICSM World Music Day. This is incredibly prestigious and I'm very happy . Please route for Girl ..
Girl is being released on Vinyl with another new work soon by Entr'acte .Exciting times.

Girl was written in the Studio's of the Djerresi art centre 2005 San Fransisco where I was composer in residance for a month. I worked for 4 weeks on this work . It's based on the first Chapter of the Second Sex by Simone De Beauvoir. Within this text she writes about Girl being a force of nature with very limited boundaries.She is landscape, she is air and she is in search of experience. I wrote a small stream of text 'All is Air , All is world
So I'm going back to my Studio and carry on with some bass. Tim Lawrence is doing a book reading in Basso Berlin of Hold on to your Dreams on the 23rd. Tomorrow. We did it in the ICA in March and are doing it in Moma , Oxford in Sept. All good stuff.
