Hello!

My friend Fletch aka Cold Ghost has a beautiful new album out. Honoured to have contributed banjo to tracks two, nine and eleven on the album.

In other news… that new year’s post about me having a new album? Uh, not quite. I listened to it a lot and honestly wasn’t really feeling it, so decided to let go of it. A big call to make but one that I’m ultimately happy with. If you’d like a listen to some works in progress, they’re available via my Bandcamp subscription.

After both Mike Cooper and I had separately performed at Lawrence English and Brisbane Powerhouse’s OHM Festival in early 2023, Mike graciously accepted my invitation to spend an afternoon recording together. I’ve been a fan of Mike’s for years and we’ve been in the same orbits for quite some time, so it was a thrill to spend time making music.

In the spirit of improvisation – and at least partially due to instruments accidentally being left behind – we decided to utilise instruments in the studio where we recorded as our source material. After a bit of back and forth, both of us ended up playing electric guitars in standard E tuning – something which I don’t think either of us had done in quite some time.

One Volt per One Ampere, a title directly inspired by OHM, is the result of three lengthy improvisations in the one tuning, each sequentially edited down to create one fluid piece. Whilst there’s moments where either of our parts are identifiable to those who may know either of our discographies, throughout One Volt per One Ampere I think that the electric-on-electric sound shines through.
