A snapshot of "entertainment" on a Saturday night in an English "new town"; in this case Harlow. Crap beer, crap nightclub music, crap atmosphere but so bad that it was good ... and, sad to say, the highlight of the evening was a post-club doner kebab and a melancholy stagger to kip on someone's sofa.... happy days since sick avoided!

Kit: Launchpad, volca fm, Fluss, granulator synth, Hilda, uKORG, Logic Pro.

P-Throwback Thursday

NEXT WE COME FOR THE CHILDREN
BUT FIRST WE SEND THE PARENTS AWAY
THIS WAS NO SNAP DECISION
THIS IS ALL PART OF OUR VISION
>
FIRST YOU TOOK AWAY OUR CHILDREN
THEN YOU TRIED TO SWALLOW US WHOLE
SENT THEM ALL AWAY TO A DISTANT COUNTRY
THAT’S WHEN WE THE PEOPLE LOST ALL SELF-CONTROL
>
EATING US AWAY EACH AND EVERY DAY
WE WANNA LASH OUT, MAKE YOU PAY
ONCE YOU’VE BROKEN THE LAW, CROSSING EVERY LINE
FIGHTING FOR OUR CHILDREN IS NO LONGER A CRIME
>
HERE TO CATCH THE DREAMERS WHO ARE DREAMING THE DREAM
FOR WE HATE HAPPY ENDINGS AND WE’RE MEANER THAN MEAN
ICE BY NAME AND VOCATION, AND ICE IN OUR BLOOD
THREAT TO NATION AND TO YOUR FREEDOM, WE ARE MISUDERSTOOD
>
WE ARE NOT HERE FOR THE PEOPLE, WE ARE NOT A FORCE FOR GOOD
WE REPRESENT THE WISHES OF A VISCIOUS REGIME
OUR GOAL TO FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH PSYCHOTIC BIGOTRY
A RETURN TO SEGRAGATION, SOUTHERN RACIST HOSPITALITY

NEXT WE COME FOR THE CHILDREN

Forest Energy (Remix)

This track is a relaxing instrumental that is served best chill.

No Real

Intense and chaotic space exploration with aliens hunting humans.  A track determined to push the limits of possibilities and force the space between your ears to explode from sonic overload.

Space Force

Peace Within

Sculpture

winter time festival fun in Tasmania- it was COLD and Dani and I thought we had been a bit pretty with our Live offerings lately so we decided to bring the noise for this little gig, so fair warning... there is some rude nosies ahead : ) Always a pleasure
