A great new compilation in the DO WHAT THOU WILL series from Sombre Soniks has just been released. It contains great musical ambience: dark, sensitive and evocative. I have one collaboration on the comp: a poem set to sounds by the amazing gong master Akoustik Timbre Frekuency. ATF also made sounds for a great cut-up poem by Vanessa Sinclair. And there are many other great people and acts involved on the comp too. Check it out and enjoy the night and what it brings! DWDW II is available HERE!
The crowdfunder campaign at Kickstarter for my new film project LUNACY has almost reached half of the money at half time (the campaign ends on March 5th). THANKS and LOVE to those who’ve contributed so far! My film Sub Umbra Alarum Luna (2016) was dedicated to Derek Jarman’s influential work, specifically In the Shadow of the Sun (1975, with music by Throbbing Gristle 1980). The film has been screened in Stockholm, Copenhagen, London, Berlin, New York, Porto and other places, and is available on DVD and Vimeo On Demand. My new project, LUNACY, will be the “follow-up” film to Sub Umbra, and is based around recorded cut-up texts about the moon by Vanessa Sinclair, with music by me. The film will be a miasmic, mind-expanding trip into the psycho-lunar orbit. Mixing new material with older super 8 footage and a truly cosmic soundtrack, I will aim to see what’s on the dark side of the moon – and hopefully come back. Please join me for a wild yet mellow space ride. Please take...
On January 4th 2017, Vanessa Sinclair read cut-ups and poems from her book Switching Mirrors at Rönnells Antikvariat in Stockholm, backed by Den Arkaiska Rösten (Per Åhlund & Girilal Baars). Towards the end of the performance I also read some poems together with Vanessa. It was a magical evening and a great release event for the book. A wonderful recording of the performance is now available via Soundcloud, mastered by Den Arkaiska Rösten. Many thanks to everyone involved!

Another great show from the vaults: Cotton Ferox live at the Festiwal Okultury in Warsaw on May 21st 2016. Thomas Tibert and Dr Zaraza on electronics/sounds and me on vocals and various sounds. Enjoy! To check out more weird music by Cotton Ferox and others, please visit HIGHBROW LOWLIFE.
