I am a Scottish musician presently enjoying a period of high productivity and fruitful collaboration. I suppose the correct bracket would be "experimental".
In the last 3 years or so, a hefty chunk of my music has been released on my own Lefthand Pressings imprint with 16 titles having been made available through this channel. A full recent (2005 onwards) discography, including all LHP releases is below.
I have a separate page for LHP which is here. All titles are o/p except the Eye Shaking Kingdom vinyl LP which costs 9GBP in the UK and 10GBP elsewhere in the world. Paypal is perfect, the address being lefthandpressings (at) btinternet (dot) com. RECENT RELEASES NEW!!!! - Seven Starlings More Tape Fiend (helmed by Kyle Wright of Diophantine Discs) has issued this new cassette album, a set of processed guitar works, mainly concerned with flightlessness and the absense of flocking. I'm all out, go see the ever mighty Volcanic Tongue or (depending on the strength or otherwise of your local currency), you could be better off seeing the label themselves here NEW!!!! - musicforshipwrecks The AFE label, run by Andrea Marutti, has just released this new album, the third volume in the series following "musicfordrowning" (LHP. 2006) and "musicforlighthouses" (Quinquaginta, 2007). A deep sea examination of loss and helplessness, this was completed around the same time as "Ashenground" and stands as a gentler counterpart to that album. My stock is now all spoken for so please see AFE themselves. STILL FRESH! - ASHENGROUND is now available on the Basses Frequences label. 7 tracks of vertiginous hum and howl, glowing embers, scorched earth and half-remembered nightmares (I never get any better at this descriptive lark, do I?). Please note that I do not have any copies for sale, please see either the label here or Volcanic Tongue who still have a copy or two in stock.
LHP-10/Sick Head 10 - "With Metal And Swordlight" by EYE SHAKING KINGDOM LP (yup, that's right, LP! Seemed like a good idea at the time!) 4 tracks of distress-static, casio magic and lift-shaft plunge electronics. "Aspects of Chris Corsano's Blood Pressure, Richard Youngs' "Alban Stands Here" and Sun Ra's most gloriously fucked astral fantasias combine with the kind of eviscerating amplifier destruction more associated with prime Dead C, Ascension and Skullflower for a side that matches electrified late-60s fire with whiplashed 21st century electricity. Excellent." - Volcanic Tongue Coming next a few things...a little patience will be rewarded!
Many, many things are in varying states of progress and will be announced once they are ready to drop - included are new works solo, with Alec Cheer, with Space Weather (myself, Brian Lavelle and Andrew Paine), remixes for Susan Matthews and Kylie Minoise and more things besides. RECENT DISCOGRAPHY

A man said Why, why does traveling in cars and in trains make him feel sad, a beautiful sadness. I've felt this before. It's the people in the cities you'll never know, it is everything you pass by, wondering, will you ever return?
The colors of rowboats, the greens and the blues. Orange grove side streets you only see halfway. And beaches in winter and when kites are flown. It's the people in the cities you'll never know, it is everything you pass by, wondering, will you ever return?
