The Path

The Path is a song created from a poem by my friend Mark Haslam. The artwork for this release is from a cyanotype photograph taken by Mark’s son Louie on the Isle of Skye.

The poem was written after spending time on the Isle of Skye, which Mark describes as “a kind of spiritual experience that helped regain some balance and strength after some difficult times”.

Field Recordings Fo(u)r

Another collection of field recording based tracks.

Each track is a small gift to someone.

Gathered over the last three years they have been manipulated, extended, and augmented, with an eye on providing some sort of memorable audio hook.

Live At FUSE

Live At Fuse

In the autumn of 2023 a few of us got together to have a go at playing some of The Argent Grub’s songs as a live band. We ended up performing as part of evening of live experimental music at FUSE Art Space called Cyclic Sounds on the 1st December that year.

Released one year on from that performance, this live recording captures the only live performance of these tracks to date.
