There are monsters everywhere.

Christ. I'm working on too much at the one time with little to show. 

Fuck it.

Recently I've been working on an slightly experimental documentary film with art school chum and film maker Stuart Edwards.

It's a project I've sort of piggy backed on since Stuart decided to make a documentary about oil workers in Aberdeen. This developed into an investigation into the Piper Alpha disaster: On the 6th of July, 1988 due to a series of technical and human errors leading to many explosions; the offshore oil platform Piper Alpha was engulfed in flame and fell into the sea.

167 men died as a result. A terrible tragedy.

The loss of human life and the pure horrific drama of the events is stirring.
Books have been written about the disaster, a play has been written  and a well received documentary was released this year marking the 25th anniversary of the incident.

Aww mahn.. Dinnae...

So I've decided to crack on with getting a Soundcloud and fired up my old work.

I'm gonna try to create more content on a weekly basis whilst doing live shows.

So that'll be nice.

Waiting for the Tide.

This here is a short script for a short film what never got made.

I sort of just found it on my hard drive and thought it only right to give the light of day.

Yoin - All Black

Aberdeen based producer and DJ Yoin has recently released the mixtape 'All Black' through Clubtapes.com - along with shows in Moscow and other affiliates of Aberdeen based label Tuff Wax gaining a fair bit of notoriety in the current music scene, I thought it would only be fair to give the tape a wee look at.

Chances are, if you’re reading this you have probably already listened to the mixtape or at least given the video for ‘All Black’ a glance (if not give it a click below) – so consider this more of a discursive analysis than straight up review.

Ramblingly - Story vs Gameplay?

The Walking Dead shuffled into my life via the steam sale, it cornered me in a motel room with only my blood-stained keyboard to protect me. I repeatedly mashed the Q key to save me but it wasn’t enough, my rib cage was torn open, my heart torn out and swallowed whole. I lay in agony whilst my lungs struggled out a few final gasps. Hours later I reanimated, only to join the herd as another brainless zombie. I, like many others, became an enthusiast of the Walking Dead game.
