I started out making very Brown Music at home in my Brown Room. This music became my first double B sided 7 single, then my second 7 and then my first album, which I named The Brown Room, after the sound my little Brown Room had helped me garner.
Then, due to a perception of reality by means of a sudden intuitive realization, my music began to contain a kaleidoscope of other colours. I am only beginning to come to terms with this unexpected sense of colour and some of these colours feature prominently on my as yet unreleased second album, Heron vs Heron. It should be mentioned that although I was experiencing the beginnings of a very beautiful spiritual epiphany, I was also recovering from a vast internal emotional cataclysm and it is this cataclysm that features most prominently throughout Heron vs Heron.
I have since experienced many more colours and am presently attempting to ensnare them with my Cracked Analogue Sound Encapsulator. Its extremely exciting and emotionally, very rewarding.
One night, I encapsulated my piano for a short while and pressed up 499 copies of its indulgent meanderings. I called this recording Not For Sale and made it available for free.
I should also mention that I have never performed live or been in a band in my entire life. Perhaps one day I might play a gig, if I could find some people who would like to play with me and who could also accept my plethora of faults but basically, don’t hold your breath. I have zero self-confidence, a fear of intimacy and have been known to weep openly for no apparent reason.
I do sing songs to myself though, especially when I am sad. The following video is a live recording of ’Every Little Thing’, the final track from my debut album. It was performed live at home in my Brown Room. I hope that you might enjoy it.

An extremely limited amount of copies of ’Not For Sale’ are available via the link below. Only 499 copies exist of this recording and it is officially Cracked Analogue’s most rare recording due to the nature of its non commercial release and the reasons behind it. All copies are numbered and embossed by my very own hands and wrapped in plastic. Some are also signed by one of my hands and ALL of them are absolutely free! It is no accident that the catalogue number of this release reads ’CA00$uicide’ or ’Commercial Suicide’ as I like to call it. Not For Sale CD

If you happen to be in Liverpool then ’Probe Records’ may have a few copies left behind the counter. ’Piccadilly Records’ in Manchester may also still have a couple of copies left but I haven’t checked recently to see if they’ve all gone. This is a cool store and they also stock my other releases. They can be found via the link below. Piccadilly Records

When I’m not making music or films, I may be taking photographs. This is how I sometimes see the world through the lens of my beloved analogue camera.
For more photographs, why not have a wander through the photo section at Cracked Analogue. I’ve only put a very small selection of images there but I will be adding more when I get time.

Instead of me trying to describe what my music sounds like, here’s what some other people have to say about my Deep Brown Cracked Analogue Sound.

The above animation was created by the legendary and über talented CLIFF SAYER . If you wish to pay homage to this great man then you can find a direct link to him in my friends list below. Cliff modelled my appearance on the ’Every Little Thing’ video, as we had never met at the time but he had to invent my trousers, as he couldn’t see what they looked like. Bizarrely though, the trousers he dreamed up were almost an exact replica of my favourite ever pair of trousers, my awesome Dangerfield BMX pants, which I actually lost and have never found since. Due to Cliff’s incredible psychic powers and intuitive insight though, they turned up here and have been forever immortalised. I have since met Cliff in the outside world and can safely say that he is as sound, as he is talented. Thanks Cliff!

In case you are wondering why your comment may not have been accepted, I have decided to disable HTML profile comments for the time being. While they can sometimes be interesting and even beautiful, I seem to be getting large amount of banner adds that just push everybody else’s comments off the page. I will also discard postings if your comment ONLY talks about your new releases/singles/tours etc. Otherwise, thanks in advance for posting and also thanks to all of you who have posted already!
