The history of everything noise related but mainly The Gits (in excruciating depth)

M.O.A. Presents: Chords Of Orion – The Elements Shall Melt With Fervent Heat (Reconstructed)

YouTube blurb…

An entry in the Chords of Orion Trial by Remix from back in the twenty first century. I’ve half-inched some dialogue to add a little impetus half way through from ‘You Will Become an Old Musician | Bring it on!‘ where the great man himself reads out a less than polite comment he’d received.

The only other additions are new drums and a synth part derived from Bill’s playing where I add an extra bar to the melody to fit the imposed structure. Plus special guest appearances from tam-tam and kangling 1.

Everything else is done by editing, effects, and of course – mirrors.

This is the original.

Man Of Arun No.3 Amateur Hour

The front cover of the Man Of Arun release Amateur Hour which is a double exposed photograph of an old window with clouds seemingly floating about insideComing in at sixteen minutes ‘Amateur Hour’ continues the mix of new and old material as I have a very deep barrel to draw from.

‘Indiecompetent Band’ crosses generations with a riff from 1987 crowbarred into a new song whilst ‘Node’ is mainly a demo from 2009. ‘Rows’ is also new and bringing up the rear is ‘Wickham’ is an edited version of a track from… actually I don’t remember. Hold on while I look it up… 2014.

Man Of Arun No.2 Happy Fun Tunes

Cover of the second Man Of Arun EP, 'Happy Fun Tunes' with a double exposed photograph of Dungeness featuring it's red and wipe horizontal striped lighthouse. 'Happy fun tune' is a line from the World Domination Enterprises song, 'Asbestos Lead Asbestos'.After a bit of a battle against with my ageing music computer I’ve managed to knock out an EP. It features a a track that sadly looks as though it’ll be topical for some time to come.

Also contains reheated filler from the era when I was tidier with genres. I had a sore throat when I did the words but sadly it didn’t improve my voice at all.

Man Of Arun No.1 Ne me quitte pas

My Bands Were Often Camped In Pubs
A release of all things. Not quite what I intended to get going again but it came to mind at the end of last year and hear it is, a critique of and plea to the bands that forsake Bandcamp without good reason.

The main track, Bandcamp (Come Back), turned out a bit long as the lyrics on the faster bit were meant to run together but proved confusing like that so I split them into two sections. Given the length I’ve also done the ‘radio edit’, Bandcamp (Slight Return), which omits part two.

The Streaming Suite Consists of:

  1. Descent Into iTunes
  2. The Third Circle Of Spotify
  3. The Pandora Paradox
  4. Bandcamp Regained

and is not at all a collection of oddments tenuously tacked together.

For Bill

A submission to the Chords Of Orion Ambient Guitar Highlights series of video compilations. Probably should have practised a bit more before recording but why break the habit of a lifetime.

Warning

Contains nudity from the ankle down.

And the YouTube spiel to save clicking through.

Having seen the call to guitars from Chords Of Orion I’ve knocked out a tune for #AmbientGuitarHighlights.

As the series I’m attempting to appear in has been quite generous in the application of the Ambient tag the fact that I’ve overplayed a bit will hopefully not be my undoing.

This was going to be backing for E-bow and what not but in the end I rather liked it as it stood. For anyone who follows Bill’s channel the choice of UD Stomp to base the sound around will come as no surprise but everything else was added on a whim.

It may all look a bit serious which is due to not being entirely decided on the structure of the tune before setting off and trying to remember when to wiggle the controller and volume pedals.

I’m going to claim the fluffs were in fact on purpose as they tended to produce the most interesting delay effects.

This was not the first take.
