The Kilburns made two albums, but they were both the same. The second one was to try and stop the first one coming out! In fact it didn't prevent them, because Warner Bros. Records waited until I had some success, and then they put out that album called Wotta BunchIan Dury
A number of years ago I asked here at this blog if anyone had a copy of this 'lost' album by Ian Dury and someone just sent me a copy. I had this on vinyl back in the day but...originally recorded for Raft Records in 1974 it was finally released by Warner Brothers in 1977 to cash in on Dury's new found fame as a solo artist with Stiff. I think it's actually a much better album than 'Handsome' which was the Kilburn's official release, though apparently Dury was not happy with this at the time. The cover for Wotabunch also features a Kilburn's line up different to that which played on the album

Blackout City
In a metropolis like London light pollution makes the night sky invisible. Only a few of the brightest stars and asterisms force their celestial light through the man made glow of the city. The night sky, one of the most beautiful of natural wonders is extinguished from view. Blackout City is an experimental timelapse film that makes the invisible, visible. It attempts to show what the night sky would look like If there were ever to be a total blackout in the South East of England on a clear, moonless, summers night.
I started shooting this project back in August 2013 and have been slowly gathering footage when conditions were right. Although each shot in this film is a composite, all footage is real. The city shots were captured during the day and processed to look like night and the night sky shots were captured from dark locations around the South of England to ensure that the stars are astronomically correct for the latitude of London. I have also processed the astro shots to be more sympathetic to what the naked eye would see in terms of saturation and detail. The internet is saturated with well-processed images of the Milky Way that show phenomenal colour that are the result of fantastic low light DSLR technology. Don’t get me wrong I love these images, I am one of the people who endeavours to create them! But in reality the Milky Way does not look like this; so in order to make this film more believable I have chosen to process the shots this way.
I first got the idea for the film when I read an article about a blackout in LA in 1994 where people called 911 reporting these strange clouds floating in the sky, those clouds where in fact the Milky Way. It made me think about how the lights from cities have made many of us lose our connection to the night sky. We live in a fast paced man-made world whereby it is all too easy for us to become disconnected from the natural world around us, isolated from what is actually real. There are many other aspects of the human condition that this film could touch upon which could make its’ intentions appear somewhat complicated, but is essence the film's agenda could not be more simple; to inspire people to get away from the city lights, go somewhere quiet on a star-filled night and simply look up.
This project is purely non-profit but I would love the opportunity take the Blackout City idea to different metropolises across the globe as each city with it's specific latitude will reveal a different sky.

Rhys Chatham - Merci, Chopin
I'm getting into making music for film. But alas, for the moment I have no film score commissions on my desk, so I thought I'd make my own movie and add music to it.. I recently obtained a copy of Final Cut Pro, so I made a movie. It's a 3-minute minimalist movie, influenced, I suspect, by Michael Snow's early work, but that is for the critics to decide!Rhys Chatham
The music in this video is a rendering of a recent version of my composition, "Merci, Chopin", for four electric guitars, el. bass and drums. The sounds come from Sibelius, but the guitars ended up sounding more like a harpsichord than guitar. Oh well, never mind, you'll get the idea, anyway.
