The Return of EEK!
Among the various music projects I participate in or coordinate, EEK! (the Eclectic Electric Kollective) is the weirdest. Unlike mindSpiral, whose recording sessions and/or concerts are usually preplanned and rehearsed, EEK! stuff just kinda... happens. EEK! pickup groups have performed in Second Life at multiple concert events over the years, and have popped up at various venues in the so-called Real World whose audiences have been eager to hear something a bit different.

The Hypnagogue Likes fade!
Mike is a numptie, he forgot to say something about this in January. Sooo... We're very grateful to John Shanahan for his kind words about fade.

We have a lovely Steampunk set (see picture) for me to host from in Second Life and of course, we have a great chat room for "real life" on our website - www.radiospiral.net I don't have time to write much, except to thank all the artists and listeners who've supported us until we got to the stage of our evolution. Let's hope it doesn't stop here! See you all tonight! #steampunk #spiral #radi

Coming Soon... "on little cat feet"
I am pleased to announce that I’ve been slated to appear in the ongoing series of Fog Music releases from netlabelAural Films. These releases number eight so far and have been scheduled ahead through the rest of 2014 and into 2015, to eventually total 24 hours of music in all. To quote the Aural Films site: “Aural Films presents “Fog Music.” A series of recordings inspired by the weather condition known as fog. Light and dark, wet and dry, this invasive event is a great sourc
