I said ‘Shut It’
Scrapbook mix of original audio, first released on Loskop Radio in 2022, now remixed in sections with extra road drill for 2024/2025. Part 4 released March 2025.
This is quite strange. If you aren’t familiar with strange music, you might find it strange.
Stand by your Manesta
A playful and interactive celebration of civil disobedience, inspired by the fascinating story of suffragette Evelyn Manesta.
Eternal Cosmic Heat Dissipation
Electroacoustic work, using 3D recordings of heat sinks and hacked hard drives in a big IBC tub.
Deep Sea Drones – 27 minutes
This mix is very minimal, so you might get bored. It’s atmospheric and dark, so you might get scared. It’s very deep, so please observe safety precautions if listening in the bath.
Caution: the first half can be very quiet at times, as we descend through the upper regions, but as we sink into the dark depths the bass is low and powerful, so watch those woofers don’t blow.
The Acousatron
A Terrifying, Interactive, Upcycled Noise Contraption
The Noisy Toys mothership has been evolving and reincarnating since 2010. There’s plenty on this site about it, but nothing can prepare you for the chaos, the noise and the bass.
The Well Tampered Clavier
Live performance on the Discarnate Heart of the Acousatron installation; a very prepared piano, with a few bits & bobs and an impact driver. This performance at Manchester Theatre in Sound (MANTIS) festival in 2017 was also repeated in 2024.
