NEWS
MoHa! has, after again living in the same city, practiced a lot and structured the music to such a degree you could call the result songs or whatever. MoHa! has recorded a new album with this material that will be released early fall 2008. This material can also be heard live these days.
Jeff Carey has made premixes of 2 of the new songs for a 7" (sort of warm up for the album) released just now in June.

This release is made up of a collection of tunes that I worked on over a year or so and form my first EP. I wanted to explore the themes that inspired the authors of the songs titles; Baraka, Kerouac, Sartre and Fanon. Its all recorded by myself, played by me on basses & percussion with a few special guests; Gareth Pope and Tim Hook add guitars and some vocals by Mia & Dana Djundi on flute. Along with a few choice samples of Kerouac. ..
I had played in the Foundry once before. It's a pub in the Hoxton area of London that hosts a lot of art events, sometimes with music or dance. The pub is housed in a building that used to be a bank, and the basement area was once a vault where the money was kept. The natural reverberation in the room is astounding, and as a clarinet player you feel, when you play there, as if the sound of your instrument has been sent back to you from the walls, freshly coated with the finest, sweetest dusting of chocolate. On this afternoon I was alone there, while upstairs they were loading beer barrels from the street. You can just hear the odd external noise in the background, but mostly it was delightfully quiet with just my clarinet to break the silence. This is what I played. I think it is a dialogue with the space itself, a conversation with an empty room. ..
