Links
What you won't find here is a comprehensive list of everything I've ever been into. I've tried to stick to those links that I rarely see elsewhere. Yep, some of the people represented are friends of mine, and others I will probably never meet. However, they've all shaped the way I listen and behave in some significant way.
804 Noise
Label and collective promoting experimentation and noise - based in Richmond, VA.
Adrian Newton
Sonic artist and improvisor - member of Zaum and No Context.
Berg Sans Nipple
Home of The Berg Sans Nipple - a fantastic improvisation/live sampling duo.
Betika
Fascinating Dorset-based alt-folk oddness, with lots of side-projects, collaborations and other musical activity.
Brenda
Don't be put off by the naff name, Brenda sound massive...stadium-sized thinking-rock with loads of unusual processing, big chords and clever time-changes.
Chuckalumba Recording
Outstanding analogue studio in the tranquility of the New Forest. Bands to grace Chuckalumba include Electric Wizard, Hunting Lodge and Sunshine Republic.
Constellation Records
Constellation records boast an unbelievable roster of musicians that overlap projects and styles, including Exhaust, DoMakeSayThink and Silver Mount Zion.
Dirty Demos
Hand-to-mouth electronica label based in Swanage
Francisco Lopez
From a distance: an undulating and ever-changing atmospheric hum - up close: a hive of musical microparticles swarming to create stunning electroacoustic landscapes. Lopez's vision is of the world as a massive organic sound generator, and his music has left me breathless on several occasions.
Illusion Of Safety
Dan Burke's schizophrenic atmospherics. Manipulations to set your mind, and often your teeth, on edge.
Liars
What will they do next..?
Low-Point
ambient/drone/noise/esoteric music on cdr
Monkey In Fez
Website of photography and web artist Paul Hockett - stunning stuff.
Navigator
The incredible Navigator don't exist anymore. Burning Shed have got a CD of their original singles. Find their bleak drone masterpiece 'nostalgie' if you can, its worth all the effort.
Perfect Sound Forever
Superior online music journal.
Psycho Navigation
Dublin label / radio / events sporting some stunning ambient/electronics
Reckno
Dorset promotors par excellence.
Resonance FM
Puts most other british radio to shame. There's nothing the LMC aren't prepared to programme, music-wise. Intelligent and surprising.
Side Projects
A kindred spirit in the onedeafear world...Can't be bothered to have a big project? Can't get around to finishing everything? Got too many ideas to run with..? Don't worry, just do what Elks, Scout Hut and Like A Cornered Rabbit Like A Cornered Fox have done, and regard everything as a SIDE PROJECT! Great art, interesting music, and absolutely no pretensions.
Sonic Arts Network
The academic end of electronic music. Superb source of links and new music.
Superglider
Dorset record label - home of the very fine True Swamp Neglect.
Texlahoma
Matt Shaw's bedroom project is going overground. Understated, delicate and beautiful songwriting/programming. Good links too.
The Boy Fitzhammond.
Top illustrations and cartoons featuring the rich, the famous, monkeys and dog-poo, from a top chap. Brilliant.
The Mylar Blackout
Noise terror duo featuring Bart of Jack Nicholson
Thomas Truax
Thomas Truax, Sister Spinster and The Hornicator.
