“The Unrest Cure”: Buried Treasure
25.05.2015
Back in 2007 I made a record called “The Unrest Cure” for Mercury.
Dan Hegarty, an Irish author and DJ, has featured it in his book “Buried Treasure” which is about ‘well-hidden’ albums. It’s a great read, and features many records much less well-hidden than my own, so I feel lucky to be in there. Thanks Dan.

Recording with Tim Harries
06.05.2015
I first met Tim when we were both asked to play in Brian Eno and J Peter Schwalm’s ‘Drawn From Life’ project in 2001. He was, and still is, a huge inspiration to me both musically and personally – changing my understanding of what music could be, and what it could mean.
His writhing, atonal basslines are unique: truly ‘free’, merciless, yet driven by a deep humanity and therefore incredibly moving in both soul and body. I once saw him make 2000 people, including the band, jump in surprise – with a single note. You get the idea.
Check out his projects Puul and Spin Marvel.
Yesterday we were improvising together for a project featuring Martin France, Seb Rochford and Emre Ramazanoglu.
