Rescapé remixes revisited
I’ve posted before about NSU’s collaborative remix album “Rescapé” on which I have a track.
So this is just a quick note to say it’s just been released on CD. And that they look lovely, like this:
The best place to get the CD is from Amplifier NZ Music by clicking here.
Alternately you can download the whole album or individual tracks from:
And of course you can still stream the whole album right here:

glue sniffin’ beats
Today I’m releasing parts 1 & 2* of a project called Glue Sniffin’ Beats, it’s sort of a mini-album and an ongoing recording experiment.
I was going to hack these tracks up myself and use them to build new songs but I’ve got a lot of other stuff to do and I don’t want them gathering dust so I’m releasing them as-is to see what you want to do with them.
So far it’s all skittish beats and echoes and wobbly synth-bass recorded in a live-ish** manner. Let’s see what else it can become.
Please feel free to take these grooves and mix, mash, loop and sample them as you see fit.
To encourage this, the whole Glue Sniffin’ Beats project is released under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus License which allows for all types of sampling and remixing for all purposes except for advertising.
I’ll be rolling out the other 5 parts over the coming weeks and months. The download is free so please share this around as much as you can. If you use these tracks to make something, please post links in the comments below.
* Part 2 is released along with part 1 because part 2 happens to be really short.
** The recording process is detailed here for music geeks.

rainy day
Yesterday Karin Bettley and I recorded this little live jam called Rainy Day.
It’s ambient and glitchy and ~14 minutes long. Put it on in the background and go about your business.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
download mp3 (right clickety click, save as)
It’s a live improvised one-take with no overdubs, Karin’s doing the voice and messing with a glitchy little looping stuttering device. I’m doing a bunch of signal generators and feedback stuff – no computers or samplers, just analogue noisemakers.
We’ll be doing some live gigs in this kinda vein in the near future. Stay tuned.

pay-what-you-like pricing
I’ve moved all the b-side music downloads on this site to a “pay-what-you-like” pricing structure.
In the past it’s been a mix of free/fixed price/pay-what-you-like for different stuff, but I think it’s easier for everyone (including me) this way.
“Pay-what-you-like” means you can pay nothing if you like. But if you do download it for free you should share it with three friends and send them here too. k? Most (but not all) of the albums here are available on CD in some form too if you like those.
It might not be a permanent change, but then hardly anything is. New stuff when it’s released (bit of that coming soon btw) might be structured differently again, don’t know yet. We’ll see how it goes.
