New Solo Album - Antennae
http://gafferrecords.bandcamp.com/album/antennae
The album is a series of short improvisations exploring a strict palette of minimal saxophone sounds, with an emphasis on breath and mechanical noises over "pure/natural" notes.
Antennae was recorded, mixed and mastered by Alex Bonney. The download version also features a remix by Alex, and one by Graham Dunning.

Collaboration With Dead Neanderthals
May 16th - The Vortex, London
http://www.vortexjazz.co.uk/gigs.php?gd=20130516#.UVxHP6X3DLY
May 17th - The Cowley Club, Brighton
http://clubzygotic.wordpress.com
Both dates will be double-bills with another excellent heavy Dutch trio 'Albatre'. Both bands are part of the burgeoning micro-scene of artists in Europe highlighting the crossover of improv, noise-rock, and jazz. Last August I put on a show for Dead Neanderthals in London and it was one of the heaviest sets I saw all year. In December we recorded a collaborative album, and these gigs will be the first time we perform together live.
