If you haven't seen it yet, the recent Electricity Club interview gives details of yet more possible collaborations... " What projects have you got on the go that we can look forward to?Paul Daley He’s got to release these songs we did a couple of years ago, after he’d been working with Afrika Bambaata, I think. They seemed really good at the time; Extreme Electro. I’ve got a certain affection for one about walking through walls and another about glowing in the mirror. We got to some interesting places, Paul and I, with great efficiency. Suddenly, it feels like some global New Wave is going on at the moment. There’s a lot of people we like and urgently want to work with. They’re all so different, but you also sense a connection, some sort of emergent strata.
One ever-developing project; the working title is Alice in the Cities it involves Serafina Steer, Hannah Peel, The Smoke Fairies, The City of London, Benge, Steve D’Agostino and me. We’re also recording with, or in discussion with, Soft Moon, Robin Simon, LoneLady, Ghostbox, Tara Busch and Xeno & Oaklander. It’s a sort of global cross-pollination experiment – you hear their music and go – Bastards! Instinctively, you want to get yourself mixed up with all of ‘em, just to see what happens. They pull you out of shape in all sorts of interesting ways, they’re that good.
There’s some movies afoot with Macoto Tezuka, Jonathan Barnbrook and Karborn – and a documentary with Iain Sinclair. And this odd set of recordings made in empty rooms that turned up some interesting results. It seemed appropriate to combine them with some parlour piano pieces from one of the rooms. The project’s called Electricity & Ghosts. In among all this, I’ll be turning over a few tracks for Mira’s scrutiny. Benge is on the case at all points. He’s turned into Conny Plank visited by Stockhausen. Let’s hope Phil Spector doesn’t show up in there, or we’re all in trouble." Is that enough to be going on with?
