Hey folks, response to this show has been bigger than anticipated and tickets are almost sold out. If you're still planning on coming but don't have a ticket, grab one before they're gone. At this point we have no way of guaranteeing there will be any available at the door.
See you on the Island!

Ten years is a long time. Come celebrate with us. Eat food, drink wine, listen to music, play in the sun, pass out, travel through time, have a religious experience, go home with a giant commerative poster.

It's Bandcamp Friday, and an opportunity to call attention to an older album of mine: the music score for the short film Playback Head (2019). This was the album that sent me on the path of ambient music, and the following projects using that name.

Hard to believe but 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Hotham Sound Recordings. To celebrate we've released a massive free comp featuring favorites from our first decade. If you're curious, this is a killer introduction to the label.

I enjoyed listening to the music video for Body of Water in 4D Sound yesterday at Lobe (Vancouver). The bass was shaking the floor, and water sounds enveloping the whole room.
