I started this tour 3 weeks ago in York and after many trips on trains and many different houses slept in, the concluding show is at <a href="http://www.dubrek.co.uk/" target="_blank">Dubrek Studios</a> in Derby. This is by far the venue in the best nick and looks all shiny and new and the vegan pizzas are decent. I get the sound man to make all the lights red as per usual and get down to work. Bit more testing of radio picking up internal electronic action from kaosilator and the resulting feedback. To be worked on further on return home. I am asked questions after, especially from second act <b>Maggie Rogers</b>, who is from the west coast of Ireland studying Music Therapy and was interested in the noise I was producing. She thought it could be used in therapy and I told her about the psychiatric hospital I played in 10 years ago.......Anyway, her songs are very Gaelic inspired folk songs and occasionally in Gaelic and it's somewhat of a different vibe after me, but all good all the same. This is a very eclectic and international lineup and a nice way to end the tour! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEi1C2GKNs38ieJ1XRydjenIWnGtY0aSwZNTxmOReR0YRRH2E8k0Q6o6Gmpeujued-066y3r-totXUbIeXdgKcipoM_yE4OEQnoXz1cp7fe67zp5S6BErYu0EQtyHzYGEl23EbUytybmUw_hALRJHxwaL8FRBZNGWQ6A-2jogKSYoK7LgypUgSErcjkw/s4208/DSC_0662.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4208" data-original-width="2368" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEi1C2GKNs38ieJ1XRydjenIWnGtY0aSwZNTxmOReR0YRRH2E8k0Q6o6Gmpeujued-066y3r-totXUbIeXdgKcipoM_yE4OEQnoXz1cp7fe67zp5S6BErYu0EQtyHzYGEl23EbUytybmUw_hALRJHxwaL8FRBZNGWQ6A-2jogKSYoK7LgypUgSErcjkw/w360-h640/DSC_0662.JPG" width="360" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.oracogan.com/" target="_blank">Ora Cogan</a> and her band are on tour and her songs are really atmospheric, bass-driven and reverb laden, with occasional nods towards goth and shoegazy pop.

Objects are used, repurposed and employed as weapons against himself. I stupidly forget to take any pictures, as it's easy to get lost in what's going on.

The stage setup features the aforementioned, a table and a box full of "clutter". Robin rummages about in the box and a couple of condenser mics pickup the sounds. Really interesting, very physical (a proper workout is undertaken) and lots of fun. Towards the end of the set, the box becomes more battered and things escape creating their own noise show on the way to the floor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VUHcry9BXqs8JpsBxxf2HpCKjeCtw-RZEXLv-hZs0BLsogvhDTNlTNeF2070cWsBKPhu3U8bm6nWsqDv_BjpWIZvWJ7QX7nCaBRaF-631aSn7fgNaMLrWqOLfSmEmjhzIo53CB64782brwfftvnpIIB63Aa4jGF991u3dEmwDer8cywP68QkRJrH-w/s4208/DSC_0644.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2368" data-original-width="4208" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7VUHcry9BXqs8JpsBxxf2HpCKjeCtw-RZEXLv-hZs0BLsogvhDTNlTNeF2070cWsBKPhu3U8bm6nWsqDv_BjpWIZvWJ7QX7nCaBRaF-631aSn7fgNaMLrWqOLfSmEmjhzIo53CB64782brwfftvnpIIB63Aa4jGF991u3dEmwDer8cywP68QkRJrH-w/w640-h360/DSC_0644.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://nostrumivy.bandcamp.com/album/circle-2" target="_blank">Ivy Nostrum</a> has a table of all sorts of stuff pre-performance, but I resist the temptation to look too closely, wanting the surprise of sounds.

Continual climate breakdown, politicians who are merely there to serve a handful of motherfuckers who need ALL the resources and wealth of the world apparently and a pandemic that has seriously beaten, both physically and mentally, a lot of people and put a lot of artists, who were never far from the breadline, closer or over it. Some hope is needed and with this in mind, I set about trying to organise a tour of England, my old place of residence as a now Swedish-based noise artist. <div><br /></div><div>As anyone who has tried to organise these things before will know, there us usually a lot of hanging around waiting for replies to emails and the realisation that things might not pan out as you'd hoped. I am delighted to report that this is the easiest ever tour I have organised, ridiculously easy and that is purely down to the fantastic people and connections I have with people in the UK and they will receive glowing comments in this continually updated blog post. There will be loads of external links to click on to music and info and I very much recommend that you visit said links and listen to the great music contained therein. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">(1) Wonkystuff @ The Fulford Arms, York </h3><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://wonkystuff.net/" target="_blank">Wonkystuff</a> is the label/promotion/gadget-making collective formed by <b>John Tuffen</b> and <b>Ash Sagar</b>, who I have had the pleasure of performing with over a number of years in a number of acts (<a href="https://ojudrecords.bandcamp.com/album/aperitif-of-crippling-malaise" target="_blank">Aperitif of Crippling Malaise</a>, <a href="https://thewharfstreetgalaxyband.bandcamp.com/album/the-galaxy-express" target="_blank">The Wharf Street Galaxy Band</a>, <a href="https://ojudrecords.bandcamp.com/album/polynomial-live-at-kirkstall-festival-2019" target="_blank">Polynomial</a>, etc.....) and this event, like the majority of the previous Wonkystuffs, takes place at <a href="https://www.thefulfordarms.com/" target="_blank">The Fulford Arms</a>, which is one of my favourite spaces in York, The beer is good, the PA is good, the sound is great and the lighting is very flexible. As is usually the case, the Wonkystuff team have collected together an eclectic line up of musicians coming from West, North and East Yorkshire and in my case now, western Sweden. The show also gives me the chance to catch up with people I have not seen for years, 5 years in some cases and the familiar smell, taste and price (compared to where I live) of local beer puts me in a relaxed state and after a lot of lockdown anxiety, my social skills make a welcome return. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3KoJBP8-b0XRzqnrww-wpEZspQRz3OkW1aKt2NCEOL8In0uUWt2gAYRzzf7Xa1IPG68BHlCi2Czy3VNfqi6AyVAuGYdmixX250GqiFw9fYdaFb1uafYDY0aWqUwerGLL54ibb8a1s33qmwsG82tX92iw3FXprus4N8WeCndJ8fe5PBBD_GoPRTj5UXw/s4208/DSC_0596.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4208" data-original-width="2368" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3KoJBP8-b0XRzqnrww-wpEZspQRz3OkW1aKt2NCEOL8In0uUWt2gAYRzzf7Xa1IPG68BHlCi2Czy3VNfqi6AyVAuGYdmixX250GqiFw9fYdaFb1uafYDY0aWqUwerGLL54ibb8a1s33qmwsG82tX92iw3FXprus4N8WeCndJ8fe5PBBD_GoPRTj5UXw/w360-h640/DSC_0596.JPG" width="360" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>As is traditional, the <b>Wonkystuff</b> night kicks off with the <b>Wonkystuff </b>houseband, this time as <b>Deluxe Hugs</b>.

I am constantly wondering how further it can be pushed and secretly want them to play for twice as long to see big it all becomes.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYly9lQbR1eM7a8EPYn72vJsnu_FAKE1AGNNyJfu0knI2askHngE2IOjALwfvlYoeAzll5dy4WzH-SAhmyB2L8QKk_kHgcZJ0bKeKy-BKeOXy0gU0xT1F5tpok4Wma_n3nhNYgiNiSHCJiRVSvzGVApNspikT2l56yuefs6I8ANZTcjt3-fIGwEgkdCQ/s4208/DSC_0598.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2368" data-original-width="4208" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYly9lQbR1eM7a8EPYn72vJsnu_FAKE1AGNNyJfu0knI2askHngE2IOjALwfvlYoeAzll5dy4WzH-SAhmyB2L8QKk_kHgcZJ0bKeKy-BKeOXy0gU0xT1F5tpok4Wma_n3nhNYgiNiSHCJiRVSvzGVApNspikT2l56yuefs6I8ANZTcjt3-fIGwEgkdCQ/w640-h360/DSC_0598.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://glidertheory.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank">Glider Theory</a> are some old Hogwash acquaintances of mine Chrissie and Stuart who calm us down from the big industrialness of Spore with some flowing, drifting, guitar-synth ambience that washes gently over you and puts me in the calm state of mind needed for an opening tour show. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_lBiQde75S7skn5ysx1s6wHP7PbaELjufPVwJJ59eFnBO_WQPz6aJjaQHZSfngk32pJZvBmvA6GQaDPOasOysJLrZ6QQcoAlH6gJFG5fqkgfnMyaNPBwuUdduBoCozBxsWznupNPTbx-q0yvjfRFJb7t31ltRc14zIoVBEskU_YeUeyGWIHzb3psWA/s4208/DSC_0599.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2368" data-original-width="4208" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_lBiQde75S7skn5ysx1s6wHP7PbaELjufPVwJJ59eFnBO_WQPz6aJjaQHZSfngk32pJZvBmvA6GQaDPOasOysJLrZ6QQcoAlH6gJFG5fqkgfnMyaNPBwuUdduBoCozBxsWznupNPTbx-q0yvjfRFJb7t31ltRc14zIoVBEskU_YeUeyGWIHzb3psWA/w640-h360/DSC_0599.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The stage is bathed in blood-red light and I sit in front of my new minimal setup, both practical in terms of weight and making me stretch my ideas of creating sound. A cheap radio into an octave shifter and a kaosilator into a Boss MT2 pedal is all I have going into a passive mixer. It's an experiment and a gamble, but the results I am really happy with and I'm looking forward to listening back to the audio. Stuff is packed, I have one less tape to take back (!) and off to bed. Many thanks to the Wonkystuff crew and John Tuffen and his family for the hospitality.
