Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of 21st Century contemporary culture.

So nice that my longtime collaborator friend @dough-factory has returned to SoundCloud after a break of a couple years! This is our first track working together since then and it came together in a really cool way. I was inspired by Ryan's electronic drums and bass to lay down some rhythm guitar as well as a few synth leads. Then he came up with some awesome lyrics/vocals that I think captures the vibe of this piece quite well.

Keep an eye out for more from us, we are thinking of pulling together a whole album or EP over the coming months.

Dedicated to all those who have ridden the trauma train 

Trust
noun
Firm belief in the integrity, ability, or character of a person or thing; confidence or reliance.
"trying to gain our clients' trust; taking it on trust that our friend is telling the truth."
The condition and resulting obligation of having confidence placed in one.
"violated a public trust."
One in which confidence is placed.
- The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Once broken, trust is often irreparable...
We place our trust in a corrupt society / government / people / technology
(Thus becoming the guinea pigs of behavioural engineering / manipulation)
We are gaslit
Being lied to is normal
We are programmed to believe that we are weak / not enough
We are taught to seek outside ourselves
We are whittled away / divided / disengaged / enslaved
We choose to give our power away due to fear

We allow this

Ignorance is not an excuse

Rise up
Claim your power
Find / know yourself
Reject the narrative
Pain is power
Don't run from it
You are the creator of your experiences
You need nothing but faith in yourself
In you are all things
All possibilities
Be real
At any cost
The cost of illusion is lament
Be a true and trustworthy human being
The rewards are beyond description

Do you trust yourself
To live an authentic life?

Into Space

Fighters is an epic cinematic work that transforms intensity, inner struggle, and the power of rising again into sound. The track begins with a dark foundation and gradually builds to monumental climaxes, carrying both hope and determination.

To create this atmosphere, I combined several orchestral libraries:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – providing the orchestral foundation, recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London. Long notes, staccatos, and orchestral swells are featured here.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – with soprano and alto voices delivering long “Ahh” phrases that heighten the epic and hymn-like moments.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – delivering warm, soft viola layers that add emotional depth and a classical foundation.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – bringing in powerful brass sections, driving percussion, and orchestral unison parts that push the track forward cinematically.

Each library contributes its own character:
The Abbey Road Strings add vastness and a majestic tone.
The Epic Choir creates spine-tingling moments, reaching beyond the fight into the spiritual.
The BBC violins & violas bring warmth and melancholy into the heart of the piece.
The Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion release raw, combative energy.

The result is a composition that feels like the soundtrack to an epic movie – a musical companion for battles fought both within and without. Fighters is not just a track, but an experience: dark, powerful, vulnerable, yet full of hope.

Fighters ist ein episch-cineastisches Werk, das die Intensität des Kampfes, die innere Zerrissenheit und die Kraft des Aufstehens in Klang verwandelt. Der Track beginnt mit einem düsteren Fundament und steigert sich stetig zu monumentalen Höhepunkten, die Hoffnung und Entschlossenheit gleichermaßen transportieren.

Um diese Atmosphäre zu erschaffen, habe ich verschiedene Orchester-Libraries kombiniert:

Spitfire Audio Abbey Road One – für die große orchestrale Basis, aufgenommen in den legendären Abbey Road Studios in London. Hier kommen vor allem die langen und staccato gespielten Streicher sowie die orchestralen Swells zum Einsatz.

Spitfire Originals Epic Choir – Sopran- und Altstimmen, die mit langgezogenen „Ahh“-Phrasen die epischen und hymnischen Passagen verstärken.

Spitfire LABS (BBC Symphony Orchestra) – für warme und weiche Violaklänge, die dem Track emotionale Tiefe und ein klassisches Fundament verleihen.

EastWest Hollywood Orchestrator – für kraftvolle Brass-Sektionen, markante Percussion-Elemente und orchestrale Unisono-Parts, die den Track filmisch vorantreiben.

Jede dieser Libraries trägt ihren eigenen Charakter bei:
Die Abbey Road Strings verleihen Weite und majestätische Klangräume.
Der Epic Choir schafft Gänsehaut-Momente, die über den Kampf hinaus in das Spirituelle reichen.
Die BBC Violinen & Violas bringen Wärme und Melancholie ins Zentrum des Stückes.
Die Hollywood Orchestrator Brass & Percussion setzen die kämpferische, rohe Energie frei.

So entsteht eine Komposition, die sich wie ein Soundtrack zu einem epischen Film anfühlt – ein musikalischer Begleiter für innere und äußere Schlachten. Fighters ist damit nicht nur ein Track, sondern ein Erlebnis: dunkel, mächtig, verletzlich und dennoch voller Hoffnung.

Oh Baby I Need You (Open collaboration offer Paploviante)

August 2025 . The residency has just finished, heading home soon to start work on developing a couple of long format works from all the sound captures. 
These are the 3rd batch of 3 short sketches using field recordings captured around Montegiovi, Tuscany. With these little works I am experimenting freely with what can be produced from each days sounds - manipulating them and stitching them back together with the aim of producing a long format work at the end of the residency. I have done maybe 20 or so  since the beginning of August. The idea is to have them done by the end of the day (or night) then move on to something fresh the next day.
I am truly thankful for this opportunity that has been provided for me by the Salamanca Arts Centre in Tasmania and Cultivate Projects/La Baldi residency in Italy and The USA.
And of course the wonderful people of Montegiovi !
