  • Bio

    I write for, play in and produce serial banjo / laptop abusers ....Sweet Billy Pilgrim...., about whom the Sunday Times said ...."This calm, pretty folktronica is strange but not difficult: there are choruses here that, if Chris Martin had stumbled across them, would have shifted another million Coldplay albums. A rather special debut." (3/5) .... ...and Mojo Magazine said ...."Elsenburg's perfectly shaped songs have the same power as magic realist short stories that sieve the emotions and leave you reduced to jelly." (****).... But I have a hankering to tinker with the work of others, perhaps as ..producer.., ..remixer.. or ..soundtrack composer... ....David Sylvian..'s recent ..'Good Son Vs. the Only Daughter'.. project features a remix by Sweet Billy Pilgrim which relies heavily on a detuned ukelele and my father's clarinet playing. We believe this may be a first for Mr Sylvian, and would like to think that there may be those out there who'd appreciate similarly unpredictable treatment. ..I also find much joy amongst things that ..Hip.. and ..Hop.., particularly if they do so through a glass, darkly. I'm developing a project in this area, so if your MC-ing is fearless, quirky and innovative, check the influences and the beat, check for touched nerves and then get in touch if you find any. ....FILM MAKERS:.. Your visuals. My atmospheric pressure. Think about it. ....Sweet Billy Pilgrim do the ..Myspace ..thing too...
