shardcore

A flashback, shardcore music from over a decade ago.

majestic, but passive still
i’ve drunk her
and now i’m ill

a look that
disfigures me
i’m crushed by the weight of she
an eyelash
a flake of skin
a detail of what i’m in

she said
“you and i are one,
let’s finish what we’ve begun”
concludes it with a hurried kiss
not sure what’s meant by this
still
the weekend’s nearly here
and all this will disappear

like
nothing

like dust

it’s settled
not discussed

you ask if i like the dress
to me it’s meaningless

these are not the lines to read between
this is what i really mean

It’s been a long time since I wrote any music, painting has been taking up all of my time. However, I did have a little spare time recently, and produced this piece.

I also made a video for it, because, well, why not?

Of course we sang. How can you have access to a pipe organ and not have a sing-a-long? Last weekend we enjoyed the anthem to ‘New Labour’ – ‘Things can only get better’ by D:Ream. Michael James Parker performs with the congregation.

Since uploading clubsofa prompted such a lively debate, I herewith present ‘Prior Art’ the collection of ‘Return to Netley, things have changed’, tracks written between 1994 and 2001. Some of these tracks were written with Danny, some were written with Sacha, and some by Danny or myself alone – see if you can spot which are which. Return to Netley played infrequently, and almost exclusively in churches. I have procured a church for my Open House exhibition in May, perhaps an opportunity to perform again…

NB These tracks are purposely uncompressed, demonstrating a very high dynamic range – if you play them loud, and your speakers blow up, don’t blame me.
