Influences
Everything I've ever seen, done and heard surely? More specifically lets say those brass bands dressed as spiderman that were always at county shows.
"For an artist bad situations are just as fertile as good ones, sometimes even more so. For him all experience is fruitful and capable to credit." Henry Miller-Quiet days in Clichy
"The county of my dreams, you ask? Why, Dorset, of course. No one will ever convince me that any one of the other 38 counties in england is a patch on Dorset. However far from it I may roam in my life, a corner of my heart will always be here, in this beautiful county, where I was born." Miss S. Hole, Sturminster Newton, from The Farmers Bedside Book.
Born 1979 Bournemouth, Dorset. Started Directorsound in 1998 while Studying in Colchester. Moved to London for a while before settling back to Dorset by 2002 and been there since. Now residing in sunny Bournemouth. Released debut "Redemptive Strikes" 2003 on Geographic and Felicity in Japan. Then collected the earlier recordings for "Tales from the Tightrope Vol.1" released by Dorset Paeans, then Powershovel audio in Japan. Currently finished new stuff and looking for a home for them.

Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
Manchester's epic "space-rockers" Gnod and Arficedan (pronounced like Arthur Seadon, I think) drop by half way through their UK tour to bring some delightful yet derranged noise to the very posh 60 Million Postcards.
An evening of psychedelic krautrock jams and drifting minimalism......
Perfect for your Easter hangover!
Starting at 8.00pm
ACIDTOWN Two large breasted ladies fighting underneath a roland TR909 drum machine.... !!!
ARFICEDEN intelligent craftsmen, well versed on the use of calculated rock moves, but with enough finesse to stir in much lighter influences.
GNOD Burned out post-apocalyptic freaks lamenting the golden era of their culture though their scarred neuro-synapses.
SKITANJA Bournemouth's very own "trans-gender terror duo".

Isn't it bliss, don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around, One who can't move! Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns!
Just when I stopped, opening doors Finally knowin' the one that I wanted was yours, Making my entrance again, with my usual flair Sure of my lines, but no one is there!
Don't you love farce? My fault I fear! I thought that you'd want what I want I'm sorry my dear! Quick, send in the clowns . . . Don't bother . . . they're here!
Isn't it rich, isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career! Where are the clowns? there's gotta be clowns! Maybe next year.
