I have been looking through old computer files (old computers) and have found some stuff I don’t really want to throw away – so I’m giving them away.

It is difficult to find contemporary Artists that are truly putting themselves out on a limb. The majority appear to be trying to reinvent Art history. The library is full row upon row …..books, piles of articles, gallery catalogues, written by people who suffer from ‘Artistic Amnesia’ claiming to have discovered something new…rehashing the same old clichés……clichés written last century. Is art about being a magpie, stealing/borrowing shiny ideas and making them into a hybrid? Below is my example of a rehash….I’m very guilty.

The Obscure Jude (Download 18 tracks): £0.50!

The first 15 tracks of this download are from the ‘This Window’ 1989 cassette release Jude The Obscure. Band members on this release include: Peter Bright, Veronica Henry and Steve Portnoi.

Below are the recording notes of Jude the Obscure written in 1989:

“Jude the Obscure” was released in May 1989 and is the second solo release by T/W on M4TR and is seen as a natural progression from the first tape ‘Hope’. The recording style is more experimental e.g., the use of different speeds, machines, tape types with and without noise reduction, the use of microphones – at one point the whole house became the studio, the bathroom the live room, the bedroom the dead room, etc. The use of instruments on JTO creates a bizarre effect, one minute a crazy AXEMAN guitar will disappear into a didgeridoo droning underneath a flute and eastern drum and the next a floating female vocal will be echoed by a telephone answer machine.
