A few weeks ago I was interviewed about Dead Wood activities for the fourth issue of Futurepast. The zine is out now and also includes other interviews with Justice and Burlish. This whole thing is put together by Midlands based music enthusiast Anand Patel, who's passion regardless of genre or trend is something I genuinely admire. Futurepast 4 is available for free from various record stores around Birmingham, or feel free to email direct for a copy.
I recently made a remix of a track by Belarus producer Vladislav Buben for a competition hosted by Tibprod Italy. I turned Part 3 of 'The House Of My Ancestors' into a zoned out droner using patches I created using Reaktor software. Click on the photo above to hear the results. Danielle at Tibprod Italy was enthusiastic about the remix, and a compilation of the chosen mixes will be available on CD and digital download sometime in the new year.

A few weeks ago I made a field recording for the Disquiet Junto Project. The task was to make a Store Recording, and after loitering around looking well dodgy in M&S, Beales and Boots, I settled on Primark as my chosen department store to make a recording. Click on the picture above to hear.
As I've mentioned on this blog before, I'm quite a fan of the Diquiet weekly Junto project. This weeks project assignment titled Still Life was to create an abstract piece of music in honor of the painter Clyfford Still, using J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 2, II. Andante as the sound source. I spent Monday afternoon/evening creating a drone piece for this project, but still managed to miss by midnight deadline by 40 minutes, hence the title Late.
My pal Andrew Perry has just released a Dead Wood CDR on his suitably titled We're Gonna Get Fucking Drunk Tonight Boys label. The release is a collection of no-fi guitar jams recorded last summer in Wareham forest, and features lots of feedback, string scratching and general forest spookery. More details and a preview can be found by clicking the image above. Available now for £2 plus postage. Big thanks to Perry for making this release happen.
