foggy memory triggers, minimalism, lower-case psychedelia and half-remembered dreams from Newcastle, UK.  this project has grown in several different directions since it started, and this page is to share a cross section of it all (or at least, most of it)- electroacoustic/collage/ambient pieces, compositions for solo electric guitar and (soon) eurorack modular, and other miscellanea, installations/soundtracks/field recordings etc. this page is also a temporary soundcloud home for the mutant big-band midnight doctors. thanks for listening.
