Quick bit of news. Acroplane, an online electronica label based in Ireland has recently released a free compilation which I have a track on. You can find out more info about it and download it here:

Where does the time go? I’ve just realised I’ve not posted anything on here since November. That’s scary shit. Guess I’ve been occupied elsewhere but still, that’s slack.
Hmmm, so, what’s going on in the slightly tarnished world of AoW? The ep for ‘La Madame avec la Chien’ is now complete and being pressed. It should be ready for purchase in a month or two. There’ll be a gig in Brussels at the end of April to celebrate the fact.
I’m not so keen on winter days where you don’t see the sun and dusk seems to begin at lunch time. Grey is a great thing when it’s an area between two extremes but it’s very dull on a late November day.
It’s definitely the lack of light that I dislike rather than the cold in winter. Chilly days are refreshing and the winter sun in the UK is wonderful.
I’ve recently built a ‘catcam’ kit from Mr Lee ( CatCamlink ) and I’ve been having some fun equipping my terrier, Noodle, with it whilst out on walks. There are a few teething troubles to sort out- the box keeps falling off due to Noodles spinning jumping and running (she’s a lively little thing) so I need a stronger bit of wire or string to hold it in place.
I was pleasantly surprised to find Noodle was totally relaxed to wear the camera under her chin. It must be quite comfy and she took to it like a pro.
So, I think I’ve finally finished the main areas of the Openland soundtrack. I just need to consider the separate album that will be released along with the film now. It took quite a long time but the music is now in the talented hands of Patrick ‘Defasten’, the film maker/video artist who is behind the visual side of the project. Really, Patrick is the main man behind this. I just made a load of squiggly and splishy sounds for him to put on top.
Here’s the trailer to give you a taster : Openland trailer
