YFM, Your Fave Muslim etc

Started as a laptop experiment, which quickly got jibbed after the first self released EP ' Let It Be'. 

beards and years passed and i now making solo electronic experiments again using only feedback loops, fuzz, casio, drumachines, delay and a loop pedal.  

no laptops, no computers.

The name is taken from a conversation around the time Abu Hamza al-Masri was first arrested at the top of our road in London and he was referred to in a Hackney Gazzett as a Local and Favored  Muslim imam in the area. I liked the sound of the phrase and repeated it to my friend Ali when he described himself as a Good ordanary Muslim, i replyed, You Are My Favourite Muslim. he chuckled.

STIG NOISE tho..  Hmmm, long & far scattered... Their is however a studio in a 173 year old former dockers pub on the mouth of the River Mersey/Irish Sea with a plaque that reads "... all stigs welcome." :) 

Around 1998 i, Jacobia Stig, ( hello! ) and 2 friends , Ged Fox & Sigh Stig formed a power trio and called it Stig for a gig on the Oxford Rd, in Reading below a chipshop. By around  2007 and active up until around 2014,  the band  had evolved & grown into an 7,8,9 sometimes 10 piece touring band, of increasingly maverick people & musicians called Stig Noise Sound System. 

Since the mid 2000s we  were lucky enough to be invited, travel to and meet amazing people, musicians & organisers in over 15 countries, and play hundreds and hundreds, of shows within the music communities of UK & Europe Mainland. 

We prepared and built bits of our own instruments and forged unusual set ups and sounds, we recorded our own records in spaces we built our own studio's to avoid growing rents, ran the rehearsal rooms as ibdipendent venues ( Don't / Do Drop the Dumbulls/bells), we booked our own tours and existed happily without getting to involved in the mess that is the music industry.

The individuals , around 20 or so, that made Stig Noise  over the last 17 years are all out in the world and  continue to create music and/or simply be sound & talanted, a strange breed of humans.



a.P.A.t.T. sound like the best bits of everything you've ever heard. File next to ABBA / Zappa skipping through all the genres on the way. Completely original bewildering 2-7 piece band using all the genres possible to create a daft yet beautiful mess. Running all over stage whilst swapping instruments. Eclectic doesn’t cover it
We have many other internet hideouts....Go find 'em!
