2002 saw
the premier of the chaos concerto, for large improvising
group and creative soloist, featuring Evan Parker and the
Frakture Big Band, and also the release of a double CD of
'postal duets' with North Carolina guitarist Bret Hart. In 2003, due to mental health problems i stopped playing saxophone, but eventually finished two ongoing projects, duets albums with Caroline Kraabel and Lee Noyes. Since then i have finished a further postal duet with Glenn Weyant, playing cello and singing. In the summer of 2007 i took up the saxophone again, and recorded 'musick for two machines' with Barry Chabala. 2009 saw
the release of 'Imperfect Silence', a compilation CD of
contributions to the 'cadavre esquis' website that i curate;
2010 saw the release of , 'Graculus', a duo CD with
guitarist Richard Harding, and a second amere3 CD,
'aplicate'. A second Graculus CD, 'Small Things' came out in
2011, followed by
'Human', with Maggie Nicols in 2013. In 2014 i got ill
again, this time with ME/CFS, which kept me out of action
for seven years. Accordingly, in 2011 there were two new
CD's, 'The Reverse of Reality' by bloodcog and 'Fall Through
the Infinite' by Phil Hargreaves and Richard Harrison.
Projects for 2022 include an online collaboration with Chris
Parfitt, a third, as yet untitled, Graculus album, a debut
for Malchamech (improv-metal) and a second Bloodcog album,
if i find time for all that.
