Looking forward to playing in Birmingham in the UK this weekend. Been many, many years since I played a solo show there so hope some of you can make it along!

“Radio remains compelling for me precisely because it resists control, and I’ve never tried to ‘tame’ that unpredictability—instead, I treat it as a live collaborator, something between an environment and an instrument,” he explains. “It brings with it fragments of the world: voices, atmospheres, interference, accidental poetry. My role is to listen very attentively and decide, in real time, how to frame or respond to what arrives.”

I am delighted to feature in an article celebrating the power of radio waves in music, with an interview, and music featured alongside John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Tod Dockstader, Olivia Block and more.

A release just out, to which I contributed two exclusive tracks, is ‘gravity,’ a compilation of remixes of tracks taken from ‘the magnitude weighs heavy’, the 2025 album from Philadelphia-area producer alka.

Revealing new facets and pathways in the original tracks, the collection features mixes from alka collaborator Vince Clarke, Veryan, Stubbleman (Pascal Gabriel), Gareth Jones, Simon Fisher Turner and others.

I’m especially proud of my mixes here and hope you get a chance to listen to them. There was a limited CD of this but it sold out on the morning of the release, so it’s too late to encourage you to pick that up, but support the release if you can, on Bandcamp now.
