News: Notey and
Noisy: A Sound Science Mathemusical album is
finished! It's available from Bandcamp
or through MGM (physical and
digital), and we're doing its official launch performance in
Melbourne on October 27. And my 37 year old band, the Oxo Cubans are playing in
Melbourne on November 16. We got a bunch of other gigs
and festivals in Australia, as well as getting stuck into recording
and releasing my slightly daunting list of unreleased songs... stay
tuned!
In other news, for my friend
Charlie Whiter's 33rd birthday, I wrote a song in 33, of course! Here's the song
and here's
a video about the groove it's in (which can fit both an 11
pulse and a 12 pulse... yeah! And check out this Risset-like
trombone oddity I uploaded not long ago:
https://youtu.be/NQKnpXALuPc
. And I wrote a Christmas song last year, yxmass, the story of an
outrageously precocious nerdy baby coming to terms with Christmas,
and Ky and I made use of the delightful decorations at Ti Tree
School in December to video ourselves playing it live: https://youtu.be/tSaSx_CzpSQ
. I also made a video explaining the crazy morphing groove that it's
in: https://youtu.be/LEvK0up5XKs
.
I'm also working on a few new instructional
YouTube
videos... nearly done! Here're some more videos from recent
times: My Covid Community Health song, "Play a
Part: Stay Apart". Kylie Morrigan's "Self Isolation Smile"
(with me and a bunch of friends around the world). My "5 Times it's Wise to Sanitize"
for Masada Hospital and the live action version.
My "Risset/Shepard/Harmonic
groove" (which rises and speeds up forever!). And a
couple of instructional (and fun) videos: "The Loop of Silence"
and "The 5/16
Delay", which I've been working up to for years and
I'm super chuffed with how they've turned out. Plus Formidable
Vegetable's Waste
and Dom Hook's video clip for my song "Give It
Up". And there's the TEDx talk
I gave in Geneva in 2017.
My latest CD, "Not
Nor Mal" is out now!!! Peruse, pursue and purchase
it online or instore (CDs).
My solo DVD "Live
and Instructional" is selling nicely, as is the new Totally Gourdgeous
CD, "Gourd in
the Act": See the video for their single, "I Have a Dream". All
my solo CDs and the Sock
CD are now available for listening and/or buying from Bandcamp
