About Me

Hello. I am Ian. I make music using different instruments - whatever feels right at the time really. I also run the Home Normal, Nomadic Kids Republic and Tokyo Droning labels, make my own instruments, play around with electronics, read comics, live between Tokyo and London, paint, photography, collecting sticks and stones and generally being a bit of a wide-eyed innocent. I am lucky enough to be on some super nice and supportive labels, teach to junior and high school boys and am considering going into either nursing for elderly people or youth work whenever I decide I have had enough of teaching. I will continue to make and release music in various formats and run my labels no matter what as they are my babies. Hope you enjoy the music.
