Design to Fade

Perpetual is the continuation of "Perpetuum" (ficticious word) an album that I released in Japan exclusively in 2014.

The intent was to strip the tunes down and create more of an atmosphere than being concerned with writing "songs". Though there are some constructed tunes.

The other idea was to abandon the damn computron and record everything on my Tascam 388 1/4" 8 trk tape machine. The limitations with an old tape deck were welcomed w open arms - I really wanted to not edit waves nor stare at a monitor all day-soul sucking and I'm just not built for sitting for long stretches of time. Old skate injuries do not take kindly to being sedentary!

I gotta say this is one of my faves and hope people will connect with what I was trying to convey.
Music is all about an emotional response for me... I hope it resonates with you in a positive way.
It's about the journey not the destination.
Many thnx

Perpetual

SUN RAYS LIKE STILTS

Brando

Late last year my mum told me about a project she'd heard about at her work — she's a family tracing co-ordinator for the British Red Cross. The Long Road is a collaboration between musicians and refugees, who have told us their stories in their own words. In each case, the artist's task was to try and capture some of the urgency, or reality of those events and histories and put it to music. I met Ayman, who is originally from Syria, in London, and we spoke for several hours about the last few years of his life, and what it's meant for him and his family, some of whom are still living in Syria, and coping with life surrounded by an ongoing daily conflict.

In short, as the first wave of pro-democracy protests were happening in Syria in 2011, Ayman and his friends believed they had an obligation to be present, and to document the uprising as it happened. In doing so, Ayman and his friends became targets for the government, and were now hiding from the police. It's telling that under certain circumstances, picking up a digital camera can be as provocative as any weapon. Ayman was providing footage on the ground to certain global news outlets, such as Al Jazeera.

His eventual escape from Damascus, and that he found himself living alone in Glasgow without his wife and two baby boys, are stories too long and nuanced to capture here, but there were a few small personal moments from his story that have really stayed with me. Ayman's freezing on the plane at Heathrow, unable to process the idea he'd made it to safety. His boys, who remember nothing of their lives in Damascus, who now speak with Glaswegian accents. His wife, unable to process the pain of seeing images of their flat, now left in disarray by the police, their wedding albums trampled underfoot...I hope that projects like these, using the strength and power of a story sourced directly from the individual, become more common. Thanks to Ayman and his family for sharing their story with me.

A Retelling

Produced by Aidan O'Brien

My love, where have we gone
Am I really worth it? Am I really gold?
My love, all of this space
I left the window open, so I could call your name

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 
I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I'm sorry that you didn't get what you came here for 

My love, don't stay
Don't you keep me with you, just to keep your place 
My love, don't stay 
You loved me far to tightly, but you'll let go some day

I'm sorry, sorry that you wanted more
I' sorry that I couldn't feel what you're fighting for 
I'm sorry, that you gave it all
I'm sorry that the better you give the harder you fall 

All my skin, I'm wrapped in
All I need

Sorry

The Gaudy Side of Town

City Music

These balladeers hold nothing back when they deliver this art-rock gem, revealing once again an undeniable ability to pen down classics “Ok, No Wait” is a surprise; compared to their previous works it shows greater complexity, and therefore an enrichment of their sonic spectrum, which, in several occasions, disavows their initial folk-pop faith.

“A soft approach to songwriting and a contralto voice, where you hear whispers, murmurs, deliberately annoying notes, sweet feminine falsettos, which leave time for warm and deep sounds, ready to bloom in melodic drawings of disarming inspiration”.
