‘I have written a blasphemous book’, said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, ‘and I feel as spotless as the lamb’. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible – and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child – or perhaps its immaculate conception – the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville’s magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

I've been producing and dabbling in ambient and electronica music for my own personal pleasure since about 2009 and use this SoundCloud account as a primary outlet for many of my creative ideas and creations, spanning between genres such as techno, ambient/space music, downtempo, industrial/dark ambient, dub, and whatever other styles I may find myself to be inspired by.
