whi music is dedicated to promoting the power and beauty of improvised and experimental music. Based in Liverpool, UK, it's largely based around my activities and collaborations. the catalogue now includes eleven items, including the first CD from amere3, and a number of 'postal' collaborations, with Bret Hart, Lee Noyes, Glenn Weyant, Barry Chabala and others, and two volumes of the freejazz.org sampler. 'where we were' by Caroline Kraabel & phil hargreaves is currently available on Leo Records. for more information on this release, see the dedicated website. i've recently added a blog to the site, which i'll be updating fairly regularly, i imagine. Whi music releases are either available as free downloads or via Bandcamp, which means that they can be previewed online, or downloaded as a 'pay what you like' download, which means you can have it for free if you like, or maybe come back and pay something later, as you wish. meantime, 'trees' by amere3 is available online from Bruce's Fingers , and Leo releases are available from the label directly here. phil hargreaves

News The
performance by the Infinite Monkey Orchestra last year was recorded,
and has now been released on Ian Simpson's Electronic Musik netlabel.
Go to The first CD by 'Graculus', eponymously entitled 'Graculus', is now out! I've been playing with Richard Harding for over two years now, and this is a record of 13 of those months. See here for the details. There are various projects in the pipeline for 2010: my CD with Maggie Nicols is done, and we're making plans for a release this year; there's a second amere3 CD recorded (only a decade after the first!), and i'll also be releasing a work i did with Dinesh Allirajah and Rob Dainton in 2002. So plenty to look forward to there... New Releases: 'Music for Two Machines' (whi 009) is now available online! I've been noticiing from the download figures that 'musick for two machines' wasn't proving as popular as other releases, and i'm assuming that this is because you have to set up, as the name might suggest, two machines (CD players/MP3's etc) just to play it. Which is, i'll concede, a bit of a faff. So i've spent some of my Xmas break figuring out how to make it work using Javascript, and here it is. Just click on the link below and hear us both, randomly arranged. musick for two machines: online version Cadavre Esquis is an online collaboration with and between musicians of the freejazz.org online community. This takes the form of people using MP3 files to add layers to tracks. Now i've taken those tracks and created a flowing, organic whole from them. It's not a 'best of' or some sort of chart, it doesn't take away from the recordings that are there; it's just another way of looking at the contributions. It's called 'imperfect silence', and you can find it here.
Mr Glenn Weyant has mixed a video for OILAL, one of the tracks off friday morning everywhere. Find it here:
