2 player production’s awesome chip documentary blip festival: reformat the planet is available to view on pitchfork.tv for one week. i still don’t have a real internet connection in my new place yet. so i’ve been watching it in installments. balls!
me with mark denardo and the 2pp guys.

oh, as well as loads of awesome music on the documentary, my track ‘the end’ is used at the end (funny that). enjoy!
so, what’s the craic? i’ve been doing a lot of moving, working and other misc crap. what have you been up to? it seems that the sun is always verging on going supernova when i’m moving into a new flat. its sweltering up here! the past two days have been so hot that i’ve had to go for an evening nap. i think i cut my hair just in time. i’d have been a sweaty mess otherwise.
hello baldy!
this august i’m going on tour with ash (sabrepulse) and the boys (anamanaguchi, syphus and random) as part of the chiptune alliance. we’re starting off in glasgow and ending up in luton. i’m pretty excited! but also frightened because i need to try and work out a whole new live setup. well, i don’t have to but i’m determined to. for more information check out the chiptune alliance tour page by clicking here.
go!
in other news my first full-length album has been released by crunchyco records. sorry to all the folks who purchased the pre-release copies. in light of all the stresses of moving home i’ve lagged behind on getting the international purchases sent out. they’ll go out first thing on monday morning! i promise!

so, what have i been up to? i don’t know really. i’ve just finished university and i’m graduating in two weeks. its a pretty frightening idea really. now i have to find a real job or something.
so far i’ve seen the movie adulthood twice. its pretty great. aside from the writer, who is also the main character, and his obvious obsession with close-ups of himself looking moody. epic! although, it has made me wish i was a grime mc or something.
i also finally got a working c64 studio setup. currently i’m running prophet64, 1541-ultimate and the dtronics midi interface to sync everything with logic 7 on my ibook. so far its been pretty sweet. the depth of the sid chip is just unreal and i’ve only scratched the surface.
dizzy: prophet64 (bassline and sequencer) with some logic drums

however, i have ten handmade pre-sale copies available with felt envelopes and spray art hearts for sale just now. each cd will come with a copy of my vinyl 7″ single orange and an mp3 version of the album so you don’t have to wait for the postman to deliver the physical artefact.
SOLD OUT.
my new friends balun from puerto rico challenged me to write a song about an imaginery road trip for the 8bitcollective 48 hour challenge. the result is ‘in the warm mad night’ which is a pastoral chip-pop in the key of d major.

so, i’m doing something a little bit different from my normal set at a gig in the forest cafe in edinburgh. its going to be a lot more minimalist - game boy, nes, monome and laptop. come along! the food in the forest is totally amazing.
