NEW RELEASES:

14th February 2012

A little late for a new year update but anyway, thanks to everyone for making 2011 such an exciting and busy year, I did around 80 concerts, released 3 LPs (and the Quadtych CD), had the 'It was in the month of January' book+cd out with Kaugummi and an essay in Psykick Dancehall's journal along with two artist residencies in Denmark and Belgium, huge thanks again to everyone involved in making this all happen.

I'll be doing much less travelling this year, with last year being so busy I didn't have the time to begin long overdue new projects which are only now being explored. As said a while back, I'll be turning my focus to electronics for now, but maybe there will be another guitar record out later on in the year, we'll see. However there are a couple new guitar pieces on upcoming compilation records, more on that soon.

There is currently only one show booked at Cafe Oto in April though there are plans to go to Spain and Portugal at some point.

Finally, I have some copies of the collaborative LP I did with Jack Allett last Autumn, Outgrowing The Wretched Cradle, out on Blackest Rainbow Records, available, they are £12 a copy, drop me an email if you'd like a copy!

Oh and incase you haven't been there, I've uploaded some excerpts of records on SoundCloud, the address is www.soundcloud.com/camdeas

27th August 2011

Hope everyone's been having a good summer! I'm off to Copenhagen soon on an artist residency with the Festival of Endless Gratitude, I'll be doing a sound installation with Tobias Kirstein as well as setting up an Present Time Exercises Exhibition, participating artists include Wouter Vanhaelemeesh (AudioMER), Bill Kouligas (Pan), Hannah Ellul (Psykick Dancehall), Jake Blanchard, Simon Fowler, Felicia Atkinson, Adam Denton, Archetects of Harmonic Rooms and more! I'll also be performing in a duo with Jack Allett at the festival alongside a great line-up featuring the likes of Ignatz, Chris Corsano, Dennis Tyfus, Bridget Hayden, Kuupuu, Hayvanlar Alemi!

The festival will be the first show of a two week duo tour with Jack Allett through Denmark, Sweden, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, all the dates will be added to the events page very soon! When possibly we'll be soundtracking Bill Morrison's film, Decasia, and at many of the shows we'll also be doing solo performances.

The tour is in support of a new collaborative record with Jack Allett, "Outgrowing The Wretched Cradle" out on Blackest Rainbow very soon, limited to 300 copies. I've just had copies arrive and it sounds fantastic! Really excited for this one to get out there...

4th June 2011

Quadtych Volume Two LP and the full Quadtych CD are now shipping! All pre-orders have been sent out, sorry again for the delay on these!

Also thanks to everyone who came out to mine and Jack Allett's last minute duo show with Sunburned Hand of the Man at Cafe Oto last night, it was a great night!

17th May 2011

Firstly, there's been a slight delay with the Quadtych Volume Two LPs but they should be shipping, along with the full CD version, in about 1 week, sorry about this!

I'm very pleased to announce that Jack Allett and I recorded a collaborative record together last month which will be released late July/early August, more on that soon. Jack and I will also be touring in late-September through Northern and Western Europe, performing solo and collaboratively, dates will be announced next month.

Lastly, a tour in November with Eric Arn around Eastern and Central Europe, again performing solo and collaboratively, is currently being booked, if you'd like to organise a show, please get in touch!

3rd April 2011

Thanks to everyone involved in making the past 10 weeks of touring happen, it was an amazing trip! Back in the UK now so I am posting records again and very pleased to say that pre-orders for the Quadtych Volume Two LP and the full CD version are now open! They should be shipping at the end of April, see the release page for more about them.

In other news Deas and Denton will be performing with Skullflower and Werewolf Jerusalem on April 16th at Kraak in Manchester, organised by Mie Music.

14th January 2011

Firstly, hope everyone had a great festive season to welcome in the new year!

The Quadtych Volume One LPs arrived this morning and will be posting out from Monday (17th Jan). I'm really thrilled with this release, it's been a long time in the pipeline, I think it begun being played in its initial form nearly a year and a half ago and in some form or other at every concert since, eventually evolving into this 70 minute piece! Volume Two LP and the CD version will be released in late April.

As I'm on tour from next Friday until the end of March there will be NO POSTING between January 20th and (probably) April 4th, so please get your orders in asap if you want a copy posted out to you!

Quadtych will likely be the last solo 12 string work for a while, next I'll be delving through some more electronic terrains which I've been considering for some time. A record has been written which is to be recorded and put together when I get back from tour in April, hopefully it will see a release later in 2011, and concerts sometime after.

Also in the pipeline for 2011 is a collaborative record from Jack Allett and I. We did a handful of performances in Europe in January 2010 with Jack doing live electronics and myself on 12 string and we'll be touring Europe again in September 2011 doing some live sountracking! Deas and Denton will also make it's live debut in April, more details on that soon...

My solo Winter-Spring Euro tour starts next Friday, all the dates are going up on the events page as they are confirmed. Also check out the fantastic tour poster by Jake Blanchard, of which there will be hand-screenprinted versions available on tour!

14th December 2010

So! Last week I recorded Quadtych with Jack Allett in London, it's been mastered and the first volume has been sent to press, hopefully for a mid-Jan release. The second volume will be sent to press when I get back from tour for a late-April release, along with a CD version of the entire work though the CD will be available on tour.

I'm really excited for this release, I consider it by some stretch the best work I've done. For more info and to see the excellent artwork by Jake Blanchard, check out the Releases page.

Also, there's a taster mix of all four parts which is up on SoundCloud at http://soundcloud.com/camdeas/quadtych-taster-mix

29th November 2010

Amazing week in France, thanks to everyone who came out to the concerts and especially Sophie at Ker Boui Boui for making the trip happen.

The Deas and Denton Inferno LPs arrived today and look fantastic so will be shipping from tomorrow! Click the image to the right for more information.

Dates of a Winter-Spring UK/EU solo tour are now being announced. You can find them on the events page soon, there's also a facebook event page you can search for as well.

Finally, the Quadtych record is to be recorded sooner than expected and the first volume on vinyl should be in shops early February and I should have it for tour, though maybe not the UK part. I should also have the CD version of the entire piece available exclusively on tour, it won't be in the shops until the second volume on vinyl is released in April.
