i like surprises and walking through building sites at night. i work and play too hard sometimes. i love little things and the gaps between the words. i curated a performance/art cabaret with the poet J L Williams... we called it SiLENCiO and it was a small legend of raging beauty. i make performances with Highway Diner, play in a band called Laura Lewis and the Tea Dance Orchestra. Sometimes I write, sometimes I teach, sometimes I just like to listen and watch. I produce live events and put on club nights called HERE with electro duo Swimmer One.
Still feel like this some days:

Who I'd like to meet: curious people who aren't afraid of getting things wrong. people who are afraid of getting things wrong.
I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.
"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny
"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman
