Recording of Stop / Run Performance

Be sure to check out the wonderful performances by the other artists at that event here at the Stop / Run soundcloud profile.

Video Footage

A very brief excerpt from the aforementioned Stop / Run performance:



A fantastic new video by Diarmuid MacDiarmada for this of Suzanne and mine:



An excerpt from one of my favourite moments of music that i have had the pleasure to involved in. Video is my "remix" of Dolorosa Delacruz's visuals for our performance last year:



My remix of Laura Sheeran's "The Sadness Of The Sea" paired with visuals by Peter Christopherson (in memoriam) taken from Coil CSO 15, used in accordance with the creative commons license of that release.



First airing of this piece, another favourite of mine. As always with these improvisions, it was entirely unplanned, with no overdubs, no editing and mixed as it was created.



And finally, the most sedating tones i can muster along with my late night shortwave radio meet Brian O'Shea's gorgeous melodies and uplifting synth playing.
