Here I post mostly solo sound projects that center on my current experiments which can be described as drone, noise, or dark ambient industrial. I combine DYI electronics, odd off-the shelf musical instruments and field recordings performed live and let the tracks inform how to arrange and perform other elements. I generally avoid software and keyboards to produce these sounds--preferring the chaos element of live-performance-style improvisation with low-fi generation and processing for a more tactile execution. The role of software is usually relegated to arrangement and mastering. My philosophy with this is a "less is more" approach.

In this method I attempt to create sonic environments that I try to  title according to what the overall effect evokes in my consciousness. This usually involves repeated cycles of periods of disassociations and revisitations of the  works.

Also posted are recordings of other projects I've been involved with that fall into a more conventional punk/hardcore vein.

Founded in 2009, Gearbox is a vinyl-led record label, mastering and vinyl-cutting studio and turntable manufacturer situated in London and Tokyo. What started out as a focus on previously-unreleased archival jazz recordings,  (including Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, and Yusef Lateef), has now branched into contemporary jazz, electronic music, and folk. 

Output includes London jazz duo Binker and Moses, Indian percussionist and tabla-player Sarathy Korwar, tubist Theon Cross, and American jazz and funk five-piece Butcher Brown.

Underground garage dance proto punk with a blatant disregard for conventional riffs or acceptable themes for songs.
