Here’s a fantastic and quite extensive guide (including sound clips and scores) to irregular meter used in video games. I spent a happy 20 minutes listening/reading through this.
I’m not the only person in the world who loves irregular meter. 5/4 excites me. It’s a real shame that unusual time signatures don’t get more use in […]
Spent the weekend at Greenbelt. Had a cracking time. One particular highlight for me was the performance of Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. I’ve been listening to their album ‘Angles’ all day, and, as strange as it sounds, I feel like I’m a better person for it. It’s an inspiring record.
One of my favourite […]
Ok, so I’m trying out Soundcloud. I might be able to stream music in blog posts. One. Two. Two. This is a test. Two.

I haven’t talked about what I’ve been listening to for AGES. So I think I might, if that’s ok?
I have been listening to 3 albums this week. They’re all new on Southern Lord. They are all good.
Earth - Radio Earth
Sunn0))) - Monoliths and Dimensions
Pelican - Ephemeral
The Sunn0))) record in particular is wonderful. It’s more than […]
Dead Language Records has uploaded mp3s of my 2006 EP, Ground State.
It’s been a long time since it was released, it’s time to let it out into the big wide internet.
If you’d like to download it you can get it at Dead Language Records or on my own page here. (Just click on the track […]
Yesterday I got my hands on Low’s collaboration with Dirty Three, In the Fishtank. It’s really beautiful, the styles of the 2 bands really complement each other. And there’s a lovely cover of Neil Young’s ‘Down by the River’.
If you come across it, check it out.
One of my Christmas presents to Nic was to write some music to send her on each day of advent. Afterwards I noticed that some of the tracks fit together with others. I decided to work some of them together and see what happened.
What happened was this: Advent.
Another EP. Hope you like.
I bought a guitar on Saturday. Hoorah!! It was very very cheap because it’s previous owner had no idea how to set it up and it was unplayable. I made it vaguely playable and have been making some noises!
It’s a noname strat type thingy with 2 single coils and a humbucker in the bridge. Really […]
I’ve been listening to a lot of music. A lot. Here’s some stuff that keeps getting replayed:
Windy and Carl
Listening to about half of their backcatalogue, need to get the rest. Just simple, beautiful sounds. Perfect music. Listening to this a lot while poi-ing.
Nadja
Incredible soundscape/doom stuff. I keep playing a couple of their albums over and […]
I should have the CDs for Ground State by the end of this week. Ground State is released! Details here.
This is the first record I’ve had released. I am so proud.
I’m selling them for £5, I think that’s reasonable. If you’d like a copy send £5 by paypal to paul.maclellan@gmail.com. If you don’t use paypal […]
