SOLO
A KIND OF AIR (2020)
CD (Chocolate Monk, UK)If I were to tell you how I arrived here, I would have to explain the voicemails. The voicemails have been in the back of my mind for some time. They had accumulated over several years, in fits and starts. A waxing and waning of words spoken into the void. For months, I watched them arrive but I did not listen to them. When I eventually did hear the messages, certain things were immediately clear. The condition of his lungs was deteriorating. His breathing was laboured. The messages had never been easy to follow. They were often slurred, because of the drink. But now when he spoke his words were interrupted by coughing fits, more and more so as time went on. By groans and gasps. Belly-speech. Gurgles of outflow.
I’M WITH THE BAND OF GURPS
Remix for Band of Gurps one-off supergroup. The label says:
‘Band Of Gurps was a one off quintet of Sharon Gal, Dylan Nyoukis, June Whitchurch, Yoni Silver & Ali Roberston who performed at Cafe Oto on 28th July 2018 as part of the Chocolate Monk 25th anniversary two day event. The recordings of the gig were passed onto Cody Brant, Ju Suk Reat Meate, Karen Constance, Hannah Ellul, Rust Ruus, Kenny Carstairs, Posset & Seymour Glass who proceeded to remix/rework/do over. All the huffing, puffing and wheezing weirdness you could hope for.’
