Movement#3 talks about ideas of speed and of driving too fast when you are tired. About traveling without moving. about the mental effect that driving for a long period of time can have on you. About the headaches that can happen and also being able to battle on.

This film was made using video files captured on a number of mobile (cell) phones over the last 4 years. The files were of a very small size and created interesting restrictions in what could be created.
Gig in Cardiff next week.
I will be playing Undertone on Wednesday 27th of July with Zail, The Spines and PFM.
Please come along, be good to see folk and catch up.

Station Stories Project Live in Manchester Piccadilly Train Station
I have been recently been commissioned to create sound/music as part of an interesting project called Station Stories.

Station stories is a unique, site specific, live, literature performance event using digital technology and improvised electronic sound. From platform to platform, café to café and shop to shop, six writers take you on a creative trip at Piccadilly station and read specially commissioned stories. Our published and award winning writers include: David Gaffney, Jenn Ashworth, Nicholas Royle, Peter Wild, Tom Jenks and Tom Fletcher. Sound Artist: Daniel Hopkins.

Track ‘digital wolves’ available on new compilation
From the website
http://feedbacklooplabel.blogspot.com/2011/02/fbl010-various-artists-brave-new-world.html
FeedbackLoop Label proudly presents Brave New World its second compilation. Twenty one very talented artists accepted the challenge to compose a music based on two poems I’ve written about my fascination for cities, and twenty pictures Jessica Aliaga Lavrijsen chose to illustrate the poems. The result is a two hour collection of Poetic Urban Landscapes that span from magical moments one can find if enjoying the moods of the city, into verbal expressions and different everyday life situations.
