Blend 58

Something I recorded that was at one time intended as a LP. Wasn't 100% happy with as it lacked the dynamics I wanted to achieve. Sounds alright though, there's a ton of unreleased material I was saving for good releases yet never did anything with.

Unreleased from 2008 (?)

Blend 762 (Demo Version)

Off the phone sample

Excerpt from 'Blind Dates' a collaboration between Sindre Bjerga and myself. On the other side is Duncan Harrison and Cass Pennant (Claus Poulsen). Out on Chocolate Monk

"It went down as follows. It’d been the weekend of Multiple Tap and whilst the Baron and I had been drinking direct from a reservoir of Japanese avant huh, Claus and Sindre were off chasing tail around the UK, riding that sweet wave of Scando Art Council pay day with their Star Turbine duo. Before all this those two and I were due to share a bill in London when Sindre dropped a line to suggest ANOTHER gig to close the weekend: 2 duets, but get this…only for homies never to have jammed a day in their lives together. A blind date if you will.

So they landed in London, Heathrow to be precise, and we all played pretty much fresh off the bus. Cosmic true head vibes for sure but what you want to know about is how we all went back to Beartown’s flat after and drank til 4am…about how Claus and I realised we shared a favourite band in XTC and how the greatness of our union would be sealed in that very moment, about how the Baron nicknamed Claus Poulsen Cas Pennant, about how everyone slept on the floor and met up the next day to watch Star Turbine at Electric Knife (LDN’s best record shop, don’t sleep) with heavy heads and dirty clothes. A natural kind of emotion.

Fast forward however many days and the Baron and I feel like the end bit from 2001 after a prolonged weekend of IPA and encona hot sauce, while the other lads have just got back from the concrete hell of Milton Keynes. Have you ever played in the basement of a Greek resaurant? Nobody could say they had until Blind Dates @ the Olive, London and we’ve all come off richer. Efes and Bakalava, 4 people in attendance, falling heavy for the motherly business owner and possibly the best damn set I played this year..all with some lovely, talented lad I may never have met in another life. But enough about me…listen to Sindre and Paul scraping and scratching in gleeful unison..listen for some Norwegian ALF cassette, listen out for the kind of Happy Birthday drop that only the Baron can get away with, this is not a joke. In weeks to come, Star Turbine would introduce their British hangovers to a forever changed Scandinavia and the Baron and I would bring the horror to Crater Lake. Rest in peace. Buy this recording, I give it a 9/10." - Duncan Harrison

Hard edit of several ideas I've been working on recently. 

Still Alive 2016 Rehearsal 5th June attempt 2

Recently rediscovered live recording from 2005 (I think, maybe it was 2006) it was one of my early live perfomances. Recorded at 'Curry Club' what was pretty shambolically organised night inside Corsica Studios (Elephant &amp; Castle). We were supposed to play in one of the side rooms but had to play live in the main area where there already was a Ska / Reggae night going. None of the regular club punters were really sure what to make of this set. It's a pretty interesting yet crude mix of heavy vocal, broken synthesizer and distortion recorded on a tape recorder under my set up. I have a vague recolection of the night and if you listen closely you can hear people shouting "turn it up".


Live @ Curry Club 2005

Tape Junk

Fax Yourself

Found on an old Hard Drive, I think this was a master for something that never got released. Loud Recording.

2010

Live set from 2012 (I think?) super low fuzzed bass heavy recording.

"London - BBBLOOD" 2012 Live Set

Recording in Brighton in 2011, Some Chat, a Soundcheck, Then Noise, I remember this one being quite animated. I was playing in a box kind of. Green Door Store

BBBlood - 20110924 - STA - Brighton

Short sample of my side of the split CD with umez on so i buried records. For more information see http://soiburied.blogspot.co.uk/

Mouse Trap (Sample)

Short sample of my side of the split c30 with Half An Abortion. Dedicated to Lowe and Lanz. All sounds sourced from the breaking of glass.

Breaking Glass (Sample)

Previously housed on a compilation of Noise and Art. For my track I chose Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio's brutal and personal self-portrait depicting David holding the artists severed head. 

Originally recorded in 2009 uploaded and available in full uncompressed quality. The original compilation version was sadly compressed down to a horrible 128kbps mp3 version and burnt to disc by the label. This losing most of the frequencies that makes the track interesting.

I believe copies of this CDr compilation are available however I do not have a copy. So please download and enjoy.

David with the head of Goliath

Just a quick one shot demo recording using couple distortion pedals, filter, and sheet metal plugged into a four track recorder with no extra FX. A couple small edits were made on the recording to take out the sounds I wasn't really into. Nothing else.

30-12-2012 Noise Demo

Found old recording from 2006 on my external hard drive marked "Hazy Times", I can't remember much about this one besides the wave file being titled "bbb&tb live 2006". Believe this was transferred from tape when I did a practice with Towering Breaker

BBB & Towering Breaker Live 2006

Demo / rehearsal extract from Monday 4th March 2013. 

A bit rough as it distorts more than I'd have liked it to (next time it'll be cleaner). 

Have a listen. I'm sure soundcloud will hate this.
