   About Michael Cashmore

Marc Almond with Michael Cashmore - Gabriel and The Lunatic Lover

Gabriel and the Lunatic Lover is the first in a series of collaborative releases by Marc Almond and Michael Cashmore. The duo sets to music two poems by Count Stanislaus Eric Stenbock, the extraordinary 19th-century gay writer whose bizarre life of decadence, drug-addiction, alcoholism, and poetry - coupled with Satanic, vampiric, and Catholic obsessions - led to his early death at the age of 36 in 1895. Stenbock's final years, it is said, saw him accompanied everywhere by a life-size wooden doll that he called "le petit comte" and which he believed to be his son.

This two-track CDEP features vocals from the legendary Almond, who needs no introduction, and music composed and performed by Cashmore, well-known for his extensive catalog of recordings with Current 93 and Nature And Organisation, as well as for his work as a solo artist. The CD is housed in a beautiful full-color digipak that contains previously unpublished paintings of Almond by Russian artist Vania Soutavliov, a rare photograph of the enigmatic Count, and the complete texts to both poems. This is one of the most haunting and exquisite releases from either artist, and is presented in a package that fits the beautiful melancholy of the music, the vocals, and the spirit of Count Stenbock himself.

Michael Cashmore - Sleep England

This is the first entirely solo album from Michael, who has worked extensively with Current 93 over the last 15 years, and who has also released works with his own project Nature And Organisation. The album was written, recorded, mixed and produced by Michael Cashmore. It consists of 12 new and previously unreleased tracks, and comes in a full colour digipak. This release is essential for all those who have followed the works of both Current 93 and Nature And Organisation during the last 15 years.

Michael Cashmore is an English composer and musician currently living in Berlin. His first involvement in music began in the early 80's when he started experimenting with tape machines, acoustic instruments and super 8mm film. Around that time he founded the group Nature And Organisation who made several live performances, and later in the 90's released several recorded works.

After becoming a member of Current 93 in 1990 Michael began writing music almost exclusively for the group. Since moving to Berlin several years ago, aside from his work with Current 93, Michael began recording albums under his own name - the first of which "SLEEP ENGLAND" was released in 2006 followed by the mini-album "THE SNOW ABIDES" in 2007 which features all vocals by Antony (Antony and the Johnsons).

Michael is currently working on a series of collaborative CD's with singer Marc Almond - each CD will feature text from some of Marc's favourite poets. The first "GABRIEL AND THE LUNATIC LOVER" features adaptations of poetry by Count Stenbock and was released at the end of April 2008. The next in the series, featuring poetry by Jeremy Reed and Jean Genet, is available soon. All of the collaboration with Marc will culminate in the form of an album titled "FEASTING WITH PANTHERS" which is scheduled for release late in 2010.

Dear Michael,
just been to Marc Almond's page and listened to the new song you both recorded - it's marvellous again, so I look even more foreward to the album.
Have a bright sunny day in this normally grey Berlin autumn,

O You,
Don't wish for a sweeter dream,
wish for a sunrise
even if it brings you pain
even if you'll find your self
fallen on the ground
naked,
cold...
O You,
even if you are winning,
even if you think you have
so many lifes ahead -
delete this endless game,
switch off, unplug
this bright screen
of your brain...
O you,
even if this light will blind you,
rip off the curtain...

you know is so well, so deep.
It's just a dream, a dream,
and you are passing through...
You are a dreamer
and you shall pass this night"
