Instagr/am/bient is a project hosted by Disquiet. 25 ambient musicians created original sonic postcards in response to one another's Instagram photos. The results are online today, and are really quite beautiful. My assigned photo (above) was taken by J Butler, and my accompanying piece is Dead Wood - Warming. I've only been using Instagram for the past few months, but can be found @blotchcreek
This Thursday, 15th December, I'll be playing in Witch Cult, supporting the legends that areNapalm Death at Weymouth Pavilion. Surreal times. My excitement levels are sky high for this one. Kick it.
Thanks to those that made it down to see Witch Cult play in Bournemouth last weekend, we had a blast. This time I provided processed feedback, contact mic mouth noise and weird high frequency oscillations. I enjoy playing in this band a lot.
This Friday I'll be making noise in Witch Cult at Sound Circus in Bournemouth, Dorset. For those who don't live in the area, this is the town's metal club. This is where the Disturbed fans go, and the PVC clad underaged. I never thought I'd walk in the place again, let alone play there! Hey ho, it's a funny old world. After playing in Bumbles nightclub anything is possible I guess. Anyway, should be a very amusing night. I'm on noise duties alongside me old pal and power electronics enthusiast Content Nullity. Also playing are killer dudes The Nepalese Temple Ball, plus Strangle Wank and Moral Panic. Entertainment guaranteed.
Microbes is a brand new 3" CDR by myself and Phantom Heron Seas released on the Dead Sea Liner label. 20 minute zone out of misapplied electronics, amp caressing and microphone licking from the Dirty Demos and Dead Sea Liner honchos. Culled from the many hours of shed based activity at Dirty Demos HQ. This is a limited edition of 45 copies, each with hand painted covers and available now at a very reasonable price.
Earlier this month I played a couple of shows with Witch Cult. There's some footage above from the first, which was a house show in Bournemouth. The weekend after there was another powerviolence/noise episode at The Dorchester pub in Southampton. Making noise with these guys was a total pleasure. Check them out, debut record released by Holy Roar on Halloween.
Tomorrow night will see some DEADWITCH action! I'll be teaming up with the Witch Cult dudes to make some vicious noise at a house show in Bournemouth, Dorset. Also playing are Let It Die from Northampton. The last house show there was a blast, so really looking forward to this!
In other news, the picnic plate 7" sold out earlier this week. Big thanks to those who ordered, hope you enjoy!
Dead Wood - 'Ruined Shrine' CDR is collection of lo-fi noise jams recorded in Wareham Forest, Dorset this summer. Due for release later on the We're Gonna Get Fucking Drunk Tonight Boys label.
And finally, I'm about to embark on a very different music project. Yes music! More on that soon.
