One of the bands I play in just released a new song and video. Check it out!
“Wilderness” explores the pervasiveness of petroleum based resource extraction in contemporary culture. The stop-motion video flashes between images of plastic products: condoms, lingerie, food wrappers and collages. Plastic is in our sex, food, music, art, and in our mediums for protesting it; our daily lives are saturated within its form. “Wilderness” considers the tension between beauty, repulsion, and self-destruction in contemporary culture.
Song by Graftician: Roxanne Nesbitt and Craig Aalders

Here’s a new ambient track titled “Atm2arha 7n”. It was composed and recorded between Aug and September 2015 at Pacific 70 studio’s in Vancouver Canada. The piece begins with a blend of organic noise before blossoming into a collage of guitar, synthesizer and electronics.
I’m playing a set of improvised music tonight with Kiran Bhumber and Roxanne Nesbitt at the Golden Saucer (Broadway and Quebec). It’s a free show! Doors at 8pm. Music at 9pm.
After a few false starts over the last 2 years I’m happy to be finally posting some new solo music. I’m hoping to make this a regular occurrence as I’ve been focused on developing new material.
7el7 uB is one of my favourite pieces recorded over the summer of 2015. It’s centred around a processed acoustic guitar progression which interacts with a crescendo of layered electronics.
I’m performing a set of solo electroacoustic/ambient music this Friday at Skinny Fat Jacks in Vancouver.
