Dormant - Clutter live at Lanternhouse
Clutter live at Open Circuit - Lanternhouse, Ulverston, Cumbria on March 17th 2012.
Film is a slowed down version of Lanternhouse I by Shaun Blezard.
All sounds used are recordings of Lanternhouse and form part of an improvised set.
Original material made during my artist residency at Lanternhouse in 2011 - cumbriaremixed.blogspot.co.uk
The end of an era.......
Thanks to all the staff at Lanternhouse over the years who have made me welcome, it's been a long strange trip as they say, with many highs and lows. I've sometimes loved the place, sometimes hated the place but will definitely miss the place.

You can also just listen/download the audio from Bandcamp

orfeo 5 - Lament For The Makers
Lament For The Makers is a three track, 60 minute jazz album available for download featuring reworkings of source material from Cumbria Remixed.
The orfeo 5 line up for this album is the duo of Shaun Blezard (electronics) & Keith Jafrate (Saxophones). All the tracks were improvised and recorded live on 4th April 2011 at Keith's in Todmorden.
It was great to work with the recordings in a jazz setting with Keith and to find new ways to present and remould the sounds of Cumbria - it's always such a pleasure to work with him and again I'm really proud of the recordings. Help DIY music and buy a copy, cheers....

Still Standing, Still Useful
I have just uploaded a brand new track Still Standing, Still Useful which I have donated to Belgium net label Kopp for a new compilation they are releasing in the near future.
The music is edited from improvisations I recorded during a Meet The Artist day at Lanternhouse on 16th March, then edited down into a usable form - it is 3 sections overlapped to create the whole.
The voices are Eunice, talking about the scruffy houses she remembers as a child in Kendal and Arthur, talking about houses in Ulverston and the poverty people lived under then. Both sets of houses were built by local industry wool and snuff magnates in Kendal and the Mills in Ulverston.
I have contributed to Kopp before, donating an exclusive track The Moon Of Pity to the compilation Basic Imprint in 2010. They release some brilliant dark ambient and experimental music under Creative Commons licence, go check them out.
