Coseyhead is still alive

Hello again music lovers. 6 months since my last post. How about that. I wouldn't say time flies, for that would give an impression of business. Lurches, perhaps.

I'm still involved with music. I've been playing live in Brighton. In fact, I did a set at the last Wrong Music event in May. Dub In The Pub is now monthly at the Gladstone pub....that's the yellow one near the Lewes rd roundabout. Ok...that's a bit local isn't it. Most of you who read this have never been to Brighton and never will, so you've no idea what I'm talking about. Not local....I worry about that... I suspect humans, like all other animals, go insane when removed from local concerns. Nevertheless, here I am in cyberspace. It's a compulsion to share, like a really good crap. I'm still making mixes, and have a couple to share with you.

Firstly, meet Nature Boy



This is Coseyhead, an inner me. The photo is of an unnamed Australian.
This is very different from my previous mixes because it developed as a live set.
For best effect, play very loud in a public place. Reggae. Definitely.
Here is the music .

Next is a message from Coseyhead concerning the death of the mythical personality to make way for a more unified consciousness. The picture below is a painting of a still from Fritz Lang's 1924 film "Siegfried". It shows his death at the hand of a former friend, in this case symbolic of understanding the true nature of ego, a snake in the garden indeed.

It is entitled "Mythunderstanding". MP3 here.


It's relatively chilled out. Medium to quiet volume. Be high. Definitely.
This is my first mix made with Ableton. Software can be such fun, but I wouldn't want to live there.

For tracklistings and more details see Coseyhead Presents .

Aufwiederhoren lieblings, and be careful handling sharp objects
Coseyhead

Coseyhead Presents

Hello Music Lovers
Estranged as I am from t'internet, I nevertheless thought it appropriate to update the wombnet site. I don't know if there will be any more releases. Neither Sarah nor I are inclined to web work anymore. I've still got a toe in the music world...I'm still making mixes and I hope to do a few gigs this year, but I'm done with maintaining an online persona. However, the one thing I can be sure of is that all things change. Dust in the wind, dude...

So, please take a look at a couple of new pages in the menu bar above.
"Coseyhead Presents" contains links and tracklistings for various mixes under my DJ name. There's a couple of new ones you might not have heard.


Pearls is, perhaps, volume one of the best of The Peter Nelson Show, containing some of my most cherished tunes from the last 5 years. It started as a mix for my friend Ryan, who'd never heard my show but showed an interest in Mashcore.

There's also, a Dub In The Pub live performance from Nov 2008 I've called:



I always intended to make this mp3 available 'cos it went rather well. I edited it slightly for art's sake. Dub In The Pub may return this summer.

Another new page, "Podcast", contains links to mp3s of sessions recorded especially for my new/alt music show 2005-2010.

words are not enough...

Same Actor-Kraftspiel


wombnet09

Chris Cook, aka Same Actor lives in noisy London. He's been making electronic music of all kinds for many years since his electronic music degree and operates under the names Remote and Hot Roddy, playing sitar along with electronic jiggery pokery. In 2004, Cook also started to play gigs as Same Actor, using various stringed instruments building up soundscapes using no pre recorded or pre sequenced material, but playing with alternative tuning systems and unusual rhythms.

"Kraftspiel" is Chris's tribute to the famed German electro-pop band Kraftwerk, comprising his distinctive interpretations of four classic cuts. The original iconoclasm of the band is here emphasised by being reworked on an instrument usually associated with rigid classical forms.
