Hi Alan,
Yes, I sometimes miss the shop too! Can't afford to buy as much stuff as I used to though. I seem to remember I used to buy at least one thing a week from Ultima Thule, if not several......
These days listening to mostly contemporary 'noise' music in various forms, sound poetry, avant garde black metal, along with the usual diet of Italian prog, Krautrock, Free Jazz etc
Graduated from my Illustration degree with a first in 2007, been getting a bit of freelance Illustration work since then in the Guardian, IPC Media, Resurgence etc, also trying to get some part time lecturing work. Working 3 days a week as a postman. My son Gabriel is now 4. Cornwall really is a beautiful place to live.
Putting the finishing touches to my first solo album (concentrating more on texture, odd grainy rhythms, sound, peculiar loops, and occasional bursts of strange noise, while keeping it quite minimal and focused). I recently abdicated my position in VTB as I could no longer give it much time or effort, although I'm still in touch with the other guys, and shall appear on the next few VTB releases I should think.
Hope you guys are well. Keep in touch.
Nick
