Scanner - Trails, Traces and Remembrance

One year ago my brother passed away in very unsettling circumstances so I want to share this piece in memory of him. I still miss him so very much.
The music was recorded entirely live and produced almost by accident in preparation for a Modular Synth Meet event in Peterborough UK. I set up the equipment in my studio to test levels and to explore what might be possible the day before the event, with this temporary live set up, and within minutes this music began to appear. Sometimes there is indeed magic in the air. This is for you Nick, if only you could hear it

John Murphy Memorial Drone Performance - Ding Dong Melbourne (28/11/15) AUDIO



Here's my recording of the memorial gig for the late John Murphy held on 28/11/15 at Ding Dong here in Melbourne. 
Starts with Sara Thorn reading her (late) brother Barrington Sherman's poem (see pic) followed by the drone gig featuring Ollie Olsen, Andrew Duffield, Greg Williams, Arne Hanna, Michael Sheridan, Troy Norfolk and Kerri Simpson. Lastly Shining Vril's 'Schmerz' was played

Thank you to (especially) Alan, Kate and BillW for that making all that happen as well as the performers obviously. 
A (very) sad but beautiful day.

This was just tweeted by the UK Russian Embassy to celebrate the centenary of WWI. Someone replied with this, seeing as they like old posters
