The lightshow returns! After a considerable hiatus I finally
dusted off the video gear and ran the lightshow for Mooch's first gig in
many years at Awakenings in Burton on Trent. For those who are only familiar
with Mooch's electronic work this gig would have been a bit of a surprise
as they gigged as a three piece, bass, drums & guitar/occasional synth.
Space rock!
Pictures are here.
September 2008
This has been a odd year for me, musically speaking. For
the first time in eight years I haven't put out a single CD of music (excluding
my CWS side project). Nor does it actually look like I'll have anything before
the year's out. Not that I've given up - I'm still producing tunes, but
nothing that I'm happy to put out into the public domain.
In addition, after the complete indifference
towards my last CD I'm less inclined to spend time and money on materials
for CD artwork & copying.
It's likely that the odd tune will be uploaded here (I've
scrapped the WhySpace page), but don't hold your breath for an album!
Weird times eh...

I've not long taken delivery of my new HAPI drum www.hapitones.com and I'm having a great time with this
instrument. For those who don't know, the hapi is a tuned steel 'tongue' drum
which resonates like a singing bowl but is played with hands or soft
mallets like conga/bongos etc. It has a lovely ringing sound that's very calming
- especially if you get one tuned to a minor key.
I'm still looking to get a Hang (do a YouTube search on 'hang
drum'), but as they're sold out new until 2010, and so ridiculously expensive in
the second-hand market, I'm more than happy (no pun intended) to have my hapi -
in fact I'm seriously considering getting one custom-tuned.
