Happy birthday to me…. I thought I’d celebrate by releasing an album. As you do. I’ve faffed loads with this and ended up having to give myself a deadline and this seemed as good as any. However, I’m going to do the same for the next some too, and it is my current intention to … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Fragments of the Night
Thought I’d get my contender for album of the year in early! This is a distinctly non-linear story that doesn’t start at the beginning, because it has no beginning, and doesn’t stop at the end because it never ends. Whether it’s true is just a detail. This has been far from the only thing I’ve … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Twilight Communion
It was just as well I did the artwork before the lockdown, innit? Said artwork was done before the final mixing. This thing has taken me longer than I was expecting as it was. Its follow up would, in normal circumstances, be out pretty soon after. Until I can get back to work to scan … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Influx Arena
So, once I finished that series I did last year, I did, as promised, put my guitar down for a bit and listen to some music other people made. But I also had sessions of listening to my archive, probably for reasons of vanity but using the excuse that I wanted to hear it to … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Luna Takes Asylum (The Lunatics Return)
Glitterheads on the Loose! is the fifth and final instalment in the Meeting the Changing Landscape series I’ve been bombarding you with this year. I’m going to have a bit of break from all of this shenanigans for a bit and listen to some music made by other people for a while. But first, for … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Glitterheads on the Loose!
Madness! In many ways, but not all. So I attempted linearity… actually, scratch that. I did no such thing. What I meant was that I attempted to make sense, but again, it’s just possible that I actually did no such thing. So what happens when you purposefully take yourself through the void? Internal Route Fury, … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Internal Route Fury
It is 9/9/18, and 9.09 pm (BST) when I click the publish button on Bandcamp. We have entered the time of the new moon. Fittingly, I have ‘Ritual‘ by Fire! Orchestra playing. Alternarratives is the third album in the ‘Meeting The Changing Landscape’ Series, and the halfway point. It is about, broadly speaking, telling ourselves … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Alternarratives
I could write a whole essay, nay dissertation, on the travails of getting this thing over the line due to PC breakdowns, temporary patches, surprise findings of old pcs in a cupboard, etc. I’m not going to, as it would be of very limited interest. So this is the yin to The Castle is Burning!‘s … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – Hills to Die On
It is 103 weeks (I counted ’em) since I last bothered the world with music; it will be significantly fewer before I next do so – single figures, hopefully. This is the first in a new series called ‘Meeting the Changing Landscape.’ There’s an obvious link to the first album from the previous series, but … Continue reading One Dog Clapping – The Castle is Burning!
Bit like you used to see in music shops. Who knows, maybe you still do? Maybe I should go a-wandering. SO, my old tub thumping comrade in the Itto got in touch with me recently suggesting that I do something with the One Dog Clapping band again because he wanted to be the drummer in … Continue reading a quick advert
