Sorry for being offline for so long. We’ve been away for a little while in the UK and Kobe, consumed by work and all that! But back now. We’ll be moving house in two weeks but are pretty much back apart from that now. Lots of news including the first Home Normal festival with offthesky, Pillowdiver, Orla Wren, Stefano Guzzetti, Isnaj Dui, Kinder Scout, Paco Sala (DJ), Hybernation (DJ), more shows and stuff as we gear up to our 5th (!) anniversary in March 2014, new releases after a bit of a hiatus, photos and sounds from our last awesome night in London, and loads more. Until then, the new album by myself and some mates is up for pre-order in our little digital store on KOMU. The whole record was reworked and edited by Aaron Martin and myself, and includes re-workings by Dag Rosenqvist, Spheruleus, Pillowdiver, Hakobune, and y0t0, as well as an entire second disc album by bvdub (Brock Van Wey). It’ll be out in two weeks (actually the day we move!) Thanks :)
OK, due to the insane weather up north looks like Jonathan Lees won’t be able to make it down for the show very very sadly. Apart from his much needed presence this means the CD’s will now be posted out rather than handed out at the show to everyone who pre-ordered. Many apologies about this.
It’s going to be an amazing evening but with playing, organising, sound checking and hugging people, I’ll be floored. Any help given will be amazing otherwise I might just collapse! :) Oh, and the mix between sets was made by pimmon (Paul Gough) and Part Timer (John McCaffrey). Thanks boys!
We are sold out but due to a few cancellations due to the weather we will have space for some on the door tickets. Come early though as we are pretty booked up right now :) See some of you tonight!!! x Ian
Thank you Music Won’t Save You / Rockerilla
L’ultima collaborazione dello sperimentatore tarantino Fabio Orsi lo porta a confrontarsi con il duraturo progetto elettronico di Paul Gough. Il risultato sono quattro composizioni, ciascuna dalla durata di poco superiore ai dieci minuti, nelle quali strumenti acustici e field recordings fungono da cornice e substrato per drone e riverberi massicciamente processati.
La ricerca dell’equilibrio tra melodia e distorsione, unita all’immaginario di microsuoni dei due artisti, si traduce così in “Procrastination” nell’incessante mutazione di scheletri armonici in saturazioni droniche, fino a innalzarsi negli strati di rumore che, con gradazioni differenti, pervadono tutti i brani, veri e propri monoliti di densità sonora.

Just a couple of early bird tickets left now for the show in London this Friday…beyond that we are looking at very limited numbers on the door, if any to be honest, so get in there. Anyone who doesn’t have Paypal please mail Jonathan or I directly to make sure you reserve your space in advance. Thanks dudes, see some of you Friday! :) http://store.homenormal.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=474
Super short clip of the title page for the accompanying DVD for ‘Book Of The Folded Forest’ by Orla Wren. Coming out in a whopping 8 panel beaut end of June :)
Some of the wonderful Urban Nine images that’ll go inside the CD/DVD package by the man himself. 8 panels of design, auditory and visual love for Orla Wren’s masterpiece…its taken a while but the package is not too far off completion now, and we’ll be able to confirm a release date soon :)
