About Me

What you hear on this page was recorded a couple of weeks ago, as we ventured back to the rabbit hole for a while. it is nearer than you think.The bitrate is lower than we would like, but we wanted you to hear the whole performance.It is music and words improvised around a series of poems that James wrote in Brittany a few lifetimes ago.The second much shorter piece is two poems from the Breton Cycle, called 'Spirits' and 'Pirates' piece which were recorded the day after at Silent Hill in Guildford.There were a couple of bands on the Sunday we were there, who have unknowingly given an unexpected layer of ambience.If you were rehearsing at Silent Hill on Sunday 5th August we'd like to know who you are.The third piece in the player was recorded with our dear friend Louis V in den Haag in March this year.It is one part of a much longer piece that was previously all on myspace.We do not as yet have a website as yet so it’s not easy to convey the essence of the music adequately, with the limitations of myspace.If you like what you hear then let us know who you are.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
