PALADIN LIVE, etc

Perhaps the most exciting bit of news for a while? The most unexpected at least, if you had told me this time last year....

An Evening of Dungeon Synth : 30.11.24 at the Exchange, Bristol

Head over to the Events page for event info, ticket links, etc.

Bristol-based dungeon synth artist, Flickers From The Fen, contacted me earlier in the year to invite me to perform live, and while it took me some time to figure out how this might be achieved, I have gladly accepted. The last time I performed was back at the beginning, over a decade ago!

I will be performing material from the two 'wizard disco' albums, Matter and Quest. I also intend to put some sort of release together, based on the rehearsal sessions, hopefully in time for the gig if, well, if time allows.

I will be supporting Flickers From The Fen (of course) and Landsraad, a Dune-inspired project which dovetails nicely with my other interests.

This of course opens the door to the possibility of other live performances. I am unsure about the logistics of shifting my gear outside of Bristol, but let's see...

Other news:

I have made the decision to reintroduce the project name Cosmic Angst for three of my albums - Unknown Zones, Strata (originally titled Cosmic Angst) and Mytheme. You can see the change now on Bandcamp, while streaming services will be updated in due course.

Future work will therefore fall under different project names depending on the style, and if you check the recent Body Cosmic release you'll see the tracks there now divided between three projects.

I understand some people find these sorts of tweaks confusing, which put me off making the change, until I remembered this isn’t a business, or a ‘brand’, I’m just a bloke that makes music. So I apologise if it irks you, the music is unchanged, and at the end of the day it's all Mild Peril anyway.
