Shadow Machine
2007, Pogus Productions

Analogue Smoque
2003, Pogus Productions

Tom Hamilton - sounds, assemblage
Mike Silverton - text, voice
Al Magolis - sounds

A surreal stew of story and sounds, Analogue Smoque joins poet Mike Silverton's non-transactional prose with music, electronic and otherwise, by Tom Hamilton and Al Margolis. Sounds combine with, highlight and ignore Silverton's ramble, which in turn ignores the rational world. 

 

London Fix
2003, Muse-Eek

Music changing with the price of gold; an environment of continuous electronic music.

London Fix was awarded an Honorary Mention in the 2004 Prix Ars Electronica, Digital Music category.

"...generating a rich counterpoint out of the stark analytic data...colourful and seductive." - The Wire

"...the results bubble with energy, a veritable counterpoint of indeterminacy..." - Gramophone
