Sleuf

Sleuf:
He is me!

I know it's been a long time since I last posted on here...no excuses really, kinda grown out of it, I guess I need to be cajoled into writing and posting more...

Anyway, here's a new music project I've been working on...

I've been wanting to work on music that I could comfortably play and perform with live for quite a while now. I've also wanted to pry myself away from regular instruments and familiar music processes (record guitar, create beat, add sounds, play some silly made up midi instruments etc etc) but instead swerve towards, smaller, hand-held sound objects and instruments and only using live recorded sounds. What inspired me to do this, was my dad's old radio - I stumbled across it quite recently and started playing around with it, with its sticky buttons and greasy tone and volume faders it's quite hard to control, but it's also good fun, oh and it also hardly picks up ANY radio stations, but instead it gives static and lots of different kinds of static, I was hooked. So I went around the house and my bag of goodies and chose specific objects and instruments that I could play and experiment with....

and here it the result:
