About Me
Hey there.
So ... it seems very few folks are digging the instrumental stuff. In the interest of pleasing all my fans (both of you) i've posted 3 new tunes ... with singing an' stuff. All new, rough around the edges, demo quality musings. Enjoy.
Rosy Tin Teacaddy continues to blossom, rave reviews and plenty of interest. It's fun. Take a peek at
Rosy Tin Teacaddy here
or click below. On the polaroid.
Recent other work includes remixs for Pitch Black's album Frequencies Fall, The Tom Bosley Experience, and for a forthcoming Jakob project.
If you have the notion your music could endure the hummel remixing touch please drop me a line.
I also produce feature content for Radio New Zealand National's Music Mix show. If you are keen to submit yourself to my gentle probing please get in touch, particularly if you are passing through the Wellington region. Music Mix airs on Monday nights (NZ time) at 11pm on 101fm in NZ and is available online.
Last years ep Shoot Now, Ask Questions Later is still available, yell me if you want some. And i'm plotting plans for a new album for next year. Yeah.
Okay
Hope you are well. Whoever you think you are.

what i say:
this is a sphere of possibilities, improbabilities, complexity, simplicity.
this is the disassociation of mind, music, melodrama.
this is where the dream finishes, reality is suspended, and peices of the puzzle perpetuate.
this is where i hope, urge, cajole, force, beg, borrow, steal, delight, retreat, scream, whisper, hum, roar, sputter, vibrate, generate, destroy, find, and lose.
this is making sense from the senseless
this is audio alchemy. by a self taught chemist. with a blown out bunsen burner and a dirty old test tube.
i am a bricked up window. a jagged edge. a cushion of insolence. an impressionable friend. a murderous co-conspirator. a passionate fool. an unfeeling bastard.
a smokeless gun. a naked liar. a barefaced beginner. a pretentious flirt. an embarassing flush. an emotional retard. an optimistic cynic. an excuse. a habit. a shot in the dark.
i am a crack. a wedge. a scurry. a blink. a furrow. a petal. a brush of a cicada wing. a flight of fancy. an uncomfortable collar. a lap of luxury. a fireside chat. a walk in the park. a rainy day. a hot chocolate with soy milk. a silver bullet. a cyanide pellet.
what they say:
hummel is a well established wellingtonian purveyor of orb-style dub ambient and frippertronic guitar treatments. he combines field recordings, broken beats, atmospheres and acoustic guitar in a live audio collage, weaving an intricate blend of folk and glitch-click electronica into an organic latticework, from downbeat to beyond.
He has experience in playing and writing music, in both bands and as a solo artist, as well as presenting works of theatre and performance poetry, but is perhaps best known as either additional vocalist for pop-experimentalists Cloudboy, his live work with Rhian Sheehan and his remixs of the Black Seeds, Rhian Sheehan, and Pitch Black.
"a sonic journey from lo-fi beginnings through spoken-word samples, live guitars, gentle songs, and techno-static. experiments never sounded so fruitful."
