Miscellaneous recordings (1997-2006) with various collaborators, varying in musical quality, sound quality and style. Most involve my saz playing.

Notes

"Easter at Uisneach" - solo saz, recorded on Hill of Uisneach, Ireland, Easter 2003 (during the 2003 TreePeaceWalk)
"Pisci Cuspus" - solo balalaika, conceived and recorded just after summer solstice 2004
"PokRock" - an excerpt from an extended electric jam with Pok Spacegoat, Henry Drone and Henry's brother Richard, recorded March 2006
"Portugueezers jam" - features two unknown Portuguese hippies, recorded in an ash house (small round structure) behind friends Trip and Alice's house at the base of Easdon Tor, Dartmoor, July 2000
"Uffington Riddle" - conceived at Wayland's Smithy the full moon evening just after summer solstice 2005 and recorded back in Exeter, with Vicky adding harmonium drones
"The Soldier's Joy" - rough edit of a recording of this folk tune Vicky and I worked out for recorder and saz when on holiday in North Wales, summer 2005 (learned from Robin Williamson's pennywhistle book.
"Where the Hills Are" - features Alan on vocals and djembe (he also wrote the song, then renamed it "Maugha Mountain"), dub programming by Aron Bennett - recorded December 2003, Leeside Studios, Cork, just before Alan moved to Aotearoa/New Zealand. Jeremiah from Revelation Sound System added melodica. Our friends BenJammin' and Benjamin can also be heard playing guitar and percussion, respectively (tracks they laid down earlier). A rather nice acoustic version of this song can be found here.
"RetroPsychokinesis Rap" - my voice, talking about retrocausality (something which I was quite deeply concerned with for a while), remixed by Matt from The Spacegoats. This was intended to be used on their Tribadelica album, but only made it onto the (much cooler and more exclusive!) Glastonbury '97 pre-release cassette.
"Just Very Nice" - a silly electronic thing I made with Dance eJay software, remixing an answerphone message Vicky left from Bryher (one of the Scilly Isles), summer 2000 [her words are somewhat distorted, but they are: "It's Vicky...I'm only ringing...Hello, it's Vicky here...just very nice...tried very hard...and the sky is blue...I hope you've had a nice day...so that's it really...feet, feet...I'm, umm, ah, well, just..."]
"NuSphere saz remix" - a drum 'n' bass-flavour remix of some percussive saz playing, by my friend Dave Prentice a.k.a. NuSphere (2004?)
"Free Yr Mum" - another silly Dance eJay creation, wherein I attempted to use all the most ridiculous samples provided in its sample-libary ("I got the soul of a dolphin!", "The secret wisdom is hidden in the hypersystem!", etc.)
