Out now the latest Linear Obsessional year-end compilation & free download! This year’s collection compiled by David Little (AKA Smallhaus). Includes my theremin composition ‘Down to Brigit’s Well’ which is of course inspired by the view down the hill from our NY homestead and the birds that gather there. Also includes fellow SpeakEasy dame Lys Guillorn!

ISATMA 2017
When I saw Pauline Oliveros about a year ago I didn’t know it would be the last time. Her concert with the International Contemporary Ensemble at Bard’s Fisher Center was –as she always was — riveting and compelling. Hearing about her new work with assistive technology for music (she had just come back from Norway)…
Huis Clos: 17 July 2017
My first night in London after the conference I went to a much anticipated show where I finally got to meet Richard Sanderson of Linear Obsessional Recordings and hear him play. It was great! We had fun chatting before and after the performance (Mr B’s ears must have been ringing burning 😉 heh). The performance was…
Review: Gimme Danger
Music is life. And life is not a business. When I came out of the theatre there was blood on the pavement and a guy whose face had been smashed by something. It seemed out of place on a quiet Albany afternoon, but not after this film. The Stooges are a perfect meeting of the…
Sing It, Sister!
Up today at The Pigeonhole’s Love Letters is ‘Intoxicate Me’ in which they describe me as singing in ‘dulcet tones’ 🙂 you can be the judge of that. Give it a go. Don’t you need a little love? Save
Free Love from The Pigeonhole
Yes, that gif has been designed just to hypnotise you! Or at least it’s there to get your attention. I think. Sign up for this free multimedia event which takes place both online and on the Southbank and you will be rewarded with many musings about love — including a song by me. That’s right….
Love Me
Words I hear in Dudley Moore’s voice, of course. As you will doubtless guess I am exhorting you to check out things that I am doing. A rather pointless venture, I know. The only thing people read on social media are the things they have tagged you in. C’est la vie. My head is full…
Letters on Love
Coming next month from The Pigeonhole: Letters on Love, a multimedia extravaganza on love letters. Here’s the scoop: This September, we will be teaming up with writers, artists and musicians to create the first multi-faceted, mixed-media message on the vagaries of our most fascinating emotion – love. Over two weeks you will receive love letters,…
British Library: Punk + Bard
My last full day in London I headed over to the British Library to catch the Punk exhibit. On the way, I nodded to Saint Jerome‘s holy place: It was quite gratifying to see PUNK emblazoned across that bastion of quiet intellectual historicism, though it reminded me of the line from that much-treasured film which…
Downtown Boys, Dangbats and More
The weekend was a little too Edna, but I had a grand time running off to Connecticut to see the Fabulous QoE (and chill at the Jezebel Lounge), Marko (and distract him during his radio show), fellow SpeakEasy dame Lys Guillorn as half of the Dangbats and the amazing Downtown Boys. See some awesome photos…
