I used a zoom h4n recorder to capture sounds of the rain on my air conditioner, and then mixed it with subway sounds.

Made in Reaper, at the Mannes school of music by me.

Sounds of Brooklyn

I created this track in Reaper, using field recordings from New York City and my roommate. I made the hat you see to emulate a you-know-what, referencing this track.

In The Throes

Taken from the single 'And The Question Remains' by Big Hard Excellent Fish. Out now

In 1989 dancer Michael Clark approached Josie Jones and Jake Walters of Big Hard Excellent Fish to write a piece of music for his forthcoming work with the Phoenix Dance Company. Josie Jones, formerly of Pete Wylie’s Mighty Wah! asked Pete to work with them on this and the ‘Imperfect List’ was born: a sober, chilling – and very heartfelt cry and denouncement of Britain’s then-ill’s.

Michael’s choreography with the Phoenix Dance Company was performed at Sadler’s Wells and the track also featured in the South Bank Show’s documentary about him.

The track was subsequently re-recorded with Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins and released as a 12” in 1990 with a remix by Andy Weatherall. In 2004 the track found a new audience when Morrissey began using it to open his shows – which he continues to do to this day.

After many requests in subsequent years to ‘update’, it was not until 2011 when approached by One Little Indian that Big Hard Excellent Fish decided that the time was right – the political climate not that different from that of the 1980’s. Infact not that much has changed at all: Religion, Greed, Murdoch, WMDs, Hate Crimes, the Banking Crisis, Child Poverty, crooked Judges, Jeremy ‘Wanker’ Clarkson… And The Question Remains: Where Were You..?

‘And The Question Remains’, written by Josie and Ian C is accompanied by two very different alternate versions – the Silver Bullet version with music by Erik Legrang & Nina Walsh and the Rootmasters version with music by Ian C & James Clancy.

Big Hard Excellent Fish - And The Question Remains (Silver Bullet)

I was living in NYC for 9/11. It was traumatic. I wrote this.

Calamity of Insanity

Where does this take you? Close your eyes and imagine.

Lyrics
A million pairs of feet getting weak
Were all so tired of walking but we can't find the way back home
Like fruit flies in the breeze ill at ease
We try so hard to fight but we can't change the way the wind blows

Can't find a way back home 
Can't change the way the wind blows
No we can't find a way back home

And while we try to sleep - forgotten dreams…
They beg of us to count them so we back and forth with the sheep
Our cloudy coats they gleam - How we bleat
Afraid to up and wonder let the wolf get you while your alone

Fruitflies

Inspired by the music played at my acupuncture clinic!  I used an AKAI mpk Mini keyboard, along with Garageband to make this track. There is also a field recording slipped in there from when I vacationed in Vietnam.

Ambient Acupuncture

It's here.

To celebrate Björk's Mixmag December cover, she's recorded an exclusive studio mix.

We'll let the music speak for itself, but here's a message from Björk herself:

dearestest music-lovers !
here is a little set for you . it is most definitely flute and air themed and perhaps reveals the sonic environment my ears were in last year . i thank all the musicians . kindness , björk.
