About Me

Discog:

Sep 2006- "Recordings" (Benbecula)

Eno-inspired, hyper-pretentious ambient concept record. Conceived and recorded at Thornbury Court.

Feb-March 2007- "Music Volume Four" (Benbecula)

Neo-Krautrock groover 'David's Dance' opens up this much-heralded label comp.

June 2008 "Corydon and Manjrekar" (Benbecula)

Charged up urban eclogues from Thornbury Court. Intercepted terrorist messages, fictional 1960s electro-acoustic stars, Pier-Paolo-Pasolini, Italian Medievalism and Basinski-ed electronic listening music.

September 2009 "Who's Afraid of Iannis Xenakis?" (Herb)

Hot off the presses. Psychedelic super-collisions from Croydon
