Second song on my "Six Songs" EP. Lyrics: Late night fire Takes a hold of me Violent murder Ends silently Comes to me As a nightmare Made from deepest fears Speaks to me In a tremolo Forced through desperate tears Late night fire Takes a hold of me Violent murder Ends silently Holds me down Breathless In my memory Shows to me My true heart Without sympathy Late night fire Takes a hold of me

Third song on my "Six Songs" EP. Lyrics: Wading through The memories Of that time You were beautiful Fixated on The tragedies Of my life I was difficult And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all Wasting all My precious time Trying to put things right Wishing you'd still want me Fading into The starry night I knew then What it meant to be lonely And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all

This is a song that was written at a time when my life was so boring that I had to fantasise about a fantasy for even a snifter of excitement. Please note that I have never actually courted another man’s wife.

Second in what I plan to be a series of “map videos.” This is a tectonic map of the earth produced for the German school system in the 70′s. I see a strong correlation between maps and songs ... both take the infinite chaos of the world and shape it into something comfortingly comprehensible. Thousands of kilometres of rugged coastline represented with a simple line; an extended period of intense emotion reflected in a few minutes of organised sound. A map or a song can only ever be a shadow of the complex beauty that inspired their creation, but under the right circumstances they can shape a new reality with its own intrinsic beauty. A beauty that speaks authentically about the nature of human experience while being happily one step removed from the sometimes remorseless brutality of its crude state.

A couple of weeks ago I played a live session on Radio-Z Nürnberg. It was a heap of fun. Straight-up, raw and authentic, no bull-honky. This is a video of the entire set.

Official video clip for “To the black horizon,” from the new album “Organic Discontent.” The video is taken from footage that I filmed while travelling around Iceland in October 2015. Expect volcanos, fjords, glacial icebergs, and a few black horizons.

Song number 9 on "Organic Discontent." I've always liked the idea of murder ballads, but I'd never really found one that was as crushingly bleak as I might have liked. This song is an attempt to fill something of that hole for myself. I tried to imagine what it might feel like to have done something utterly horrid that cannot be undone. I wanted to try to capture something of what I imagine must be a moment of piercing realisation, when instinct, aggression and adrenaline instantly recede and a heavy tidal wave of acute, oppressive awareness comes rolling in, leaving your entire being flooded with sickening regret. We should always remember that killing another human being is actually incredibly easy and something, I believe, we are all capable of ... to be human and to live in any way that even comes close to what we might define as "good" requires eternal vigilance.
