Future Sequence released a great new compilation today to celebrate a year of the website and I’m on it amongst 41 other artists, many of them good friends.
It’s a really impressive tracklist featuring folks like Isnaj Dui, Zvuku, Damian Valles, Kyle Bobby Dunn, Western Standards, Savaran, Benjamin Dauer, Witxes, Antonymes and more.

I’ve been procrastinating for months but am now getting somewhat serious about working on my next release, On Recovery. It was originally put together with vague ideas of doing a 10” in mind, but I’ve been so slow to contact anyone about putting it out that I might make a full length album, or just do a CD EP…
Anyway, here’s the thing so far on SoundCloud:
I recently wrote an editorial for Owni which concerns the unrest seen in the UK riots and the authorities casually discussing whether they should seize control of popular social networks should future unrest occur.
The recent unrest seen in England has once again highlighted the terrible inequality of those living in conditions of poverty within one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world. Soul-searching must be met with a renewed dialogue between the disadvantaged inhabitants of areas like Tottenham and Toxteth and their elected government; the completely avoidable plight of Britain’s poor brings shame on the UK governments, both past and present and points to a larger problem in our society, a complete failure to provide worthwhile help to those who need it most.

I recently took part in a compilation called Burning Palms for Kate Carr’s Flaming Pines label, based in Australia. It’s a really nice collection of artists including my friend Mark/Savaran, Hibernate label mate Sublamp, Kate herself and more. It’s mastered by Taylor Deupree of 12k.
The compilation is a free download and can be grabbed here
here’s the release notes;
This is a compilation about a small beach in Sydney , Australia called Burning Palms.
Accessible only on foot, It is the home of black cockatoos, many palm trees and a natural figure eight rock pool. Most contributers haven’t been there. For them this compilation has been a process of imagination and fantasy, for others it has been one of nostalgia, remembering and forgetting.
This compilation is about the process of imbuing a place with meaning, a common theme in ambient music. But rather than aiming to uncover some inner essence of the landscape this compilation looks at how this act can be just as much a work of fiction as one of fact.
Tracks by: Broken Chip, Savaran, Kate Carr, Sublamp, All N4tural, Manrico Montero, Adam WIlliams, Darren McClure, Every Bolt Rumbling.
Mastering: 12k
Burning Palms is a free download, but if you like itplease consider donating a small amount to help cover the mastering costs.
Just a quick follow-up to a previously posted track…
I’ve done a little more work on the piano piece I posted here - it’s still a long way off complete, but I’m going to try and work on the audio I’ve already got recorded while here in Spain to finish it off if possible.
In addition to all the other writing I’m doing at the moment for Mac.Appstorm, iPad.Appstorm and Fluid Radio (click on the links to see my published articles) I’ve recently started contributing to Make Tech Easier. Here’s a couple of recently published articles;
Another Day The Same was recently given a video review on Was Ist Das? I’ve longed loved the site’s quirky and unique style so it really made my day to see Ned covering the EP and hearing his thoughts on it.
