We’d been so very quiet as… hiding in our bunkers, calibrating the equipment, running tests, calculating co-ordinates and escape routes… emerging, wrapped in space blankets, our core modules synced with red-shift calculations to guard against malfunction as we approach the event horizon.

A collection of flyers and photos from way back when some friends and I ran an ambient music collective. We’d throw ambient events in disused movie theaters, friends lofts, a place known as “the underwear farm” and others, always with a focus on listening rather than dancing, though a lot of that happened as well.

HDR vs RDJ


We started with Avril 14th, which is actually Mum’s birthday… funny that. And of course, he’s never heard any of it, and pretty much nails it the first time through. We had a few lumps in our throats… He thought it a “simple little melody… quite cute.”
