In case there is any confusion from rumour - Severed Heads are not performing in Sydney as the proposed venue has not proved suitable. The only available performance will be London. Likewise there are no plans for North America.
We remain committed to being dead as possible. Cheers. #music

Last year I composed the soundtrack for 'The Correspondent', a bio of journalist Peter Greste's long imprisonment in Egypt.
The film composer doesn't always get the updates, so I found out from the paper that the movie is coming out soon. The publicity is on! www.smh.com.au/national/the...

Update: we're (Severed Heads) playing London in July - one of the tracks being a mutilation of the Teddy Bears Picnic. The clip is all Bears and Forest made from found bits of metal. Today made the first Forest test: here's a start. As we make more trees the scene gets more 'foresty'. #video #music

Images from a live performance video in progress, sequencing versions of our track 'Petrol' from 1983-2025. If the concept works out then I'll develop a few of these mixes in the UK mid year live set.
We constantly update videos - and people aren't noticing. So let's show it.

Two esoteric new reviews at the ManCave - the Sonicware Liven Ambient0 and a quick look at the Montage M keys as an alternative to Halion 7 (not really worth it). #musicproduction #synth
