Billion album available on Dead Pilot Records (2010)
A collection of recordings made over summer 2009, originally intended to be released on tape. Thunderdrones, post-feedback, drumclutter-programming and euphoric melodies generated from guitars, vintage electronics and stolen samples. Lovely handmade packaging, limited edition.
Dead Pilot Records
Pilfer Ep available on Dead Sea Liner (2009)
Gish primarily uses both abused and delicately caressed guitar as his sound source. In Hilda Of the White Rage Gish manages to summon the ghost of Sun Ra haunting his rusting deserted mothership. On Poy La Standet Gish is joined by Andrew Perry on mic to emit a brisk drone, beautifully recorded and dripping with colour. (Dead Sea Liner)
The first tune combines sampled/processed percussion with minimal guitars. Part two is built around the live duo performance between me and Andrew Perry in Norway earlier this year.
Dead Sea Liner
Making Clocks Full-length release out on Dirty Demos (2008).
Solo using guitar and sometimes a microphone, run through a mixing board and various electronics. Making Clocks is a sweet display of sound textures, microsound and glitch. Think bleak, minimal and marvellous. (Dirty Demos)
Six tracks, just short of an hour, exploring the quieter side of drones, loops and electroacoustics.

Gish / Black Guns
5 track cdr featuring individual contibutions from Gish and Jeff from Sunshine Republic. Three seperate offerings from Gish, framing mangled guitar, sourced voices and mouth noises, respectively, within a shroud of electronic whine and hiss. Black Guns two pieces book-ending the split set buzzing drones and clouds of noxious electronics over unstable foundations of field recordings, bowed cymbals and oscillators.
