The other side? 
Hum, buzz

Crisp Packet, is it rubbish, or should we treat it like an 'art' piece?

Crisp Packets on the walls,
where ears are listening,
feed at last from the body that grew them...

obscurity is bliss!

The silent majority is rendered anonomous by a creeping celebrity class system that is inherently populist, anything that questions things gets dismissed as unworthy or 'amateur',

However, democracy is all about everyone being able to ask questions, not just those with the 'authority' to do so

 silence is not a social system.

Life is but a conceptual cassette conundrum...

(Feel free to mash these up, some are deliberately audio free for this purpose)

Music producer and filmmaker 
Making and producing original music I hope you enjoy these songs that I make  
Music is creative freedom and artistic expression

'When Planets Talk' is (currently) a 2 piece hip-hop experiment comprising of Ackson (Josh Jackson) and Dud Pistachio (Leigh Laniyan).

The music is diverse and progressive, playful yet deep, cerebral soundscapes are essential and the hip hop always flows through the centre of the noise.

New tunes coming for late 2015. Stay posted!

SONGS THAT I HAVE PRODUCED USING A CRAP LAPTOP WITH LIMITED ABILITY

Reecard Farché, the Australian artist and innovator known as Anklepants, has established a reputation as a leading force in avant – garde music and performance. A multi – instrumentalist and creator of experimental sonic devices, Farché’s work pushes the boundaries of genre and challenges conventional ideas of musical expression. Since debuting under the Anklepants moniker in 2004, Farché has released over 20 recordings, beginning with the debut album Pl-easkill on their own QWERTY RECORDS imprint. This sonic evolution continued with the 2011 release insideyourfacedubstepbeanstalktoheavenfortheatheist on Interact Records and reached its latest milestone with Pollen (2018) on Detroit Underground.
Farché’s move to Europe in 2009 marked a shift from underground cult figure to international provocateur, with their iconic Boiler Room performance in Berlin in 2014 helping to elevate the Anklepants persona. Performances at major festivals like Glastonbury and Houston’s Day For Night Festival have seen Farché share stages with artists such as Aphex Twin, John Carpenter, and Björk, each performance a dynamic exploration of sound and experience. Media outlets like Conan O'Brien’s Conan and Adult Swim’s Bloodbath have also taken note of Farché’s boundary-pushing work. In 2019, they extended their reach to South America, further solidifying their place within the global avant-garde scene.
At the core of Farché's artistic vision is the Metadexterial Instrument System, a self-designed array of hardware and software that functions as an extension of their body and mind. With its latest iteration, the system incorporates body-tracking technology, including a custom “microphone controller,” a body-tracking suit, and specialized shoes that capture subtle movements like heart rate and hand gestures. This allows Farché to manipulate voice, rhythms, and effects in real-time, creating a fluid and immersive live experience where the boundaries between body, instrument, and sound blur.
Farché’s performances — characterized by more than 100 wireless inputs — offer an unpredictable, immersive soundscape. The body itself becomes the instrument, with each performance an act of spontaneous improvisation. But Farché’s work is not limited to live shows. The 2014 EP Santur Improvisation (Şur) marked a foray into microtonal and non – 12EDO tunings, and the upcoming album Memory Loss After Incarnation continues this exploration of ancient harmonic systems. Ocker (2019), a retrospective of unreleased work, also offers a glimpse of Farché’s more traditional songwriting and vocal talents, with a cover of Dalis Car's "His Box."
Collaboration plays an essential role in Farché's ongoing work, as seen in the 2019 reinterpretation of Proclamation by British prog-rock pioneers Gentle Giant, which combines Farché’s vocal techniques with the electronic stylings of Mr. Bill. Farché’s art remains fluid and ever-evolving, with upcoming projects drawing inspiration from Australian wildlife and the natural sounds of birds and indigenous animals, themes that have increasingly appeared in their live shows.
Always at the forefront of sonic and instrument design, Farché is currently working on new innovations like Teeth — a percussion instrument using their own teeth — and the Reecard Farché Intonarumori, a breath – controlled, motorized string instrument. The latest version of the Metadexterial Instrument System has expanded to 100 input channels, while the new Suit V4 and Shoe V2 enhance the body’s ability to influence sound. Additionally, Farché is developing new mechanical creations that promise to push the boundaries of live performance even further.
Through Anklepants, Farché continues to explore and challenge the limits of artistic expression. The work exists at the intersection of technology, sound, and human experience — an ongoing journey that defies traditional ideas of music, perception, and identity.
