Clubsofa was a series of musical experiments performed between 1995 and 1998 collected together as an album. It’s a ‘solo record’, if you will, since all of the pieces were composed alone, on a shitty 486dx PC running cakewalk. Some of them have been featured as background music to some of my timelapse painting<\/a> films, but this is the first time I’ve released them together as mp3s since the end of the nineties (when they had their own website).

\nAs ever, it appears my experiment in free music distribution was perhaps ahead of its time, since I think the site closed before the iPod was released…<\/p>\n

    I’ve no particular reason for re-releasing this now, beyond the generosity of my hosting provider<\/a> allowing me to see what effect it has on bandwidth usage…
