Although I've really become really slack with this(bored/burned out really), occasionally I record these little improvised noise/music pieces which i sell or give away on single editon CDRs with handpainted covers. I've made nearly 50 so far, most of which were for my Secret Aspects Of Chewing Gum Spider Behaviour(And other tails to astonish) exhibition at Watt Space in 2008. The DIY/noise/etc scene thrives on the rare and OOP. I wanted to take that idea of the private press, limited edition fetish object to it's logical extreme, but more than that, use it as a motivational tool to get me recording new music and drawing pictures rather than zoning out on the internet or something. It was an excuse to be productive. After a year off i'm new years resolving to get back into the habit of making them, even setting the unrealistic goal of a new one every week. Unlikely but whatever. I'm going to eventually post the art for all the previous works here, and hopefully there will be some new ones for sale soon too.

Grey Man was recorded at 40 Annie Street Wickham using multiple amplifiers and microphones in a cacophonous feedback loop. There may have been a guitar involved too.
