I have a new story out in the world! It's short, and combines three of my favourite things: magic, music, and grouchiness at the state of the world. Hope you enjoy it! www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/conc...

The magician raises his wand. Initially, this commission seemed simple. One large country invading a much smaller one, a clear case of aggressor and victim—but nothing is ever so straightforward.

What kind of music do I make? Here's a playlist I made to answer that question. It's good, I'm told, for letting your mind wander to. (Which is partly why I make it, for my own contemplative explorations.) I hope you enjoy it.

New album out today! TOKORO explores my feelings about living in Tokyo for six months. A blend of field recordings and prolonged electronics, it's three hours long, which is great value, especially while it's name-your-price on Bandcamp (for a limited time). projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/tokoro

Here's a video I made for my track on the charity album PURR24. I think Rudi would like to be the ruler of his own planet! You can listen to and/or buy the album in lots of places, and all money raised goes to the care of elder cats like Rudi. There's a link in the video text. youtu.be/JMYIHvZWTW0

The media (all kinds) is behind so many of the world’s crises, and that’s the way it’s always been. The concentration of media ownership is a new problem that I don’t see being solved any time soon, alas. Your strategy is the one that I am following too. Art is a balm, not a bomb.

PURR24 features my favourite cat, Rudi, who lived with me while his parents were overseas. He's now lead vocalist on the closing track! Other artists include Michael Stearns, Deepspace, Serena Gabriel, Dirk Serries & many others. Great for non cat lovers too! projektrecords.bandcamp.com/album/purr24

Incredible review of my double CD with Steve Roach: “a living, breathing space… envelops you in layers of sound so subtle and spacious that time itself feels elastic… left suspended in silence, as if the world has stopped for just a moment to catch its breath.” www.chaindlk.com/reviews/12403
