Some people had suggested that I should set up a Facebook page for solipsism stuff. I never liked the name "facebook" and always resisted the temptation to join because of this. However, this morning I finally relented and decided to start one. After going through the extremely annoying sign up process and filling in all the band information etc., I uploaded my first track. After the track was uploaded I got a message saying that my profile would have to be validated before anyone could listen to the music. I found this quite odd as I'd already verified my information several times in the sign up process. When I clicked the button to find out the next verification step, I was pretty shocked to discover that they wanted no less than a scan of an I.D card or passport!!
I can understand their need to be diligent when approving new profiles, however this step borders on the insane as it's obvious that the potential for fraud/identity theft is huge. So, there will definitely be no Facebook page for solipsism or any of my other music projects I'm afraid.
Personally, I think myspace kicks the arse out of facebook anyway for benefits to bands and although myspace is a heartless, money-grabbing monster. It has a good side too :)
cheers

Hello
Hi,
this is my new blog that I will use to keep people up to date with my various music projects.
solipsism
Weird Fields
shoosh
solipsism is my main project and it's also my longest running. I normally work alone on solipsism material, though in the past i've worked exstensively with American multi-instrumentalist Ed Drury and i've done tracks with Kingbastard, Jash, The Hidden Persuader and a few others. My solipsism material is released mainly on the label i founded called Herb Recordings, based in Glasgow, Scotland.
Weird Fields is my dedicated ambient/film music project. This is a pretty recent project that's only been started in the past year. My first Weird Fields EP goes out on Magnanimous Records later in the year. I've already started work on the next Weird Fields project and once again, I'll be working with Ed Drury on some of the material.
shoosh is the band i'm in with Ed Drury and singer and lyricist Neil Carlill of Vedette. Neil was a founder member of 90s bands Delicatessen and Lodger who released on labels such as Rough Trade and Island. The shoosh project could loosely be described as post-folk or alternative-folk and surrealism plays a key role in the music. The first shoosh release just went out on the 26th of November 2007 on Awkward Silence Recordings. A most fitting label perhaps for a band called shoosh!
