My new album An Equal and Opposite Reaction is released today on Linear Obsessional. It's available as a download for £3, or if you appreciate physical objects, as a limited release cassette for £6.50. It's a heady stew of cello, guitar, drones, weird tunings, field recordings and random noises, conceived and recorded between September 2017 and July 2018.

For me, this album is not just the product of nearly a year's work but also a kind iof summation of all the upheavels that have gone on ion my life and my music (as well as the ider world) over the past 5 years or so. I'm very proud of it and I'm extremely honoured to have it released on the excellent Linear Obsessional label, whose wildly eclectic catalogue is a constant joy to explore. Labels like them do great work making all kinds of under-the-radar music available for very little reward. I hope you'll help support independent music making by buying it, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.

"An Equal and Opposite Reaction" will be here soon, on cassette and download. In the meantime I have started a series of releases of Marginalia.These are a combination of new and old tracks, mostly drone-oriented. I'm going to begin a composition PhD at Trinity Laban in January, and this series relates to that - an opportunity to go over some things I've done in the past few years in prepartion  for the new journey I'm about to undertake.

Vols 1-3 are out now, and more will follow shortly.

Buds, The Optimist, Automatic Writing and Water Music are now available to download/ stream in newly-remastered versions via iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and all the other major online sources. This Machine Is Ineffective Against Fascists will follow soon.
