My last album - The Earth in Play - is reviewed in the Outer Limits section of Octobers issue of The Wire.
Typically i finally get a mention in there a couple of months after i let my 12 years of subscribing lapse so i spent the day trooping around town trying to find a stockist (i did find a copy eventually).
Ian, that link goes to "all discussions with me". But that's just as well, I don't think anything reviewed in the Outer Limits section of the Wire is good for the dinner party I'm posting from the edge of...
Dammit - i usually check but it's fixed now - thank you EvJ. strangely Earth in Play is the most dinner party friendly thing i've ever done - particularly if said dinner party has got to the recreational cigarette stage.
Horribly last minute, but I know there are a couple Seattle residents floating around here, and this band I've been playing with recently, Deborah Page, has a gig tonight at the Cafe Venus and Marsbar on Eastlake and Mercer that we are scrambling to assemble an audience for, if anyone is looking for something to do.
As Detachment, I banged out a single this morning: TERSE
A mere 50c to you lovely, lovely people.
I might pop out a more dubstep-like remix next week. If I do, I'll mention it here. And on Twitter. And on Facebook. And on your nearest public toilet's walls. In filth.

Love the ‘REMAKE/REMODEL: Ace Of Space’ thread. Big shout out for Annie, Pia Guerra, Sobreiro and Paul Sizer whose submissions are our particular favourites out of a wonderfully stunning collection.
My band Brothers Horse has a gig this weekend. I don't think there are any WC'ers in the area but I liked these instrument-insect thingies on the flyer:
I'm playing with the band and solo at two gigs coming up, for anyone within travel distance of Edinburgh. The first features an exclusive hip-hop set from Baba Brinkman and Dizraeli, and the other is the Black Lantern Music first birthday!
For NYC Whitechapelers with a taste for the punk rock, The Threads will be playing the Govenors Island Art Fair, Sunday, 26 September, 1700-ish. Take the ferry from Manhattan or Brooklyn... And there will be a beer tent.
@Celan Awww! Handcar Regatta. Have a great gig. I'd be there if I wasn't, yanno, in another hemisphere at the moment. :)
Does anybody here like Beats Antique? Their new album Blind Threshold came out recently, and it's lovely... they've pushed their sound into some fresh and strange directions. I play violin (a a wee bit o' theremin) on several of the tunes.
Put two new tracks up on Soundcloud , both improvisations with an old Hinton Instruments synthesizer, which is sort of like half an EMS Synthi. No keyboard or sequencer, just self-triggering envelopes and free oscillators. They're both live recordings, one in studio, one on stage. The first, Murder in the Cathedral might not be listenable without a huge subwoofer and very detailed monitors, because that's what I performed it on, and it doesn't seem to transfer very well. The second, Untitled, May 2010, is far easier on the speakers and ears, and is probably a much better piece too.
‘Lowender’ (a Cornish word meaning happiness ) is the title of the latest free Kemper Norton e.p. An unreliable, unstable, loose-limbed and hazy look at modern and ancient festivals, it’s available here.
edited to put band name in , as it only appears on the e.p cover in tiny pointless logo form.
