After a long hiatus, a new Amp Studio album, the solo project of Richard from AMP.
Signed limited edition record, with original signed art on canvas by RFW. Also included is a copy of the CD, plus download codes.
(p.s. - Richard and Karine are working on a new AMP album, too!)
I’m helping my friends Alpha Strategy (http://alphastrategy.net) book a European tour for November 24 - December 18, 2016.
If you’re an interested promoter, please get in touch with me! Current routing includes Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, & Austria. For the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary or Serbia, I can put you in touch with the person booking that region.
Many thanks!
I’m always shocked when a (albeit rare) JB fan is surprised to hear I don’t just do music for a living, and that I work full time in an office. If Portishead struggles, how could little ol’ me possibly survive?

We were treated to a more animated reading (than the example provided here) by David Mitchell from his new novel, Slade House, last night in Ann Arbor. He was interviewed afterward by fellow author (and U of M professor) Peter Ho Davies, giving thoughtful and often playful answers. It was more like witnessing a conversation between friends. My husband and I dared to share a couple of our recordings with him as he signed our books - I gave him 3 to sign, (”Damned fool, groans the Demon of Present Regret…” - DM, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet)…which, unwittingly, gave me an extra minute to chat with this lovely person and genius author. Even in that brief encounter, he was a great conversationalist. Such a humble genius, and so generous with his time and insight, to both fans and media. Definitely the highlight of my birthday weekend.
The event was put on by Literati Books, an independent store in Ann Arbor - we enjoyed our visit there, and plan to make it a regular stop. The space has a warm & welcoming layout, and lovingly-displayed books, many with hand-written reviews on display. Support your local independent bookstore, if you have one - they need you!

David Mitchell’s books are as exciting and delicious as discovering and savoring my favorite records for the first time. I’m enjoying Mitchell’s tweets as a character from his new novel, Slade House: https://twitter.com/I_Bombadil
Looking forward to attending his reading/signing in Ann Arbor soon: http://www.davidmitchellbooks.com/events/

The best thing about music-making is the people I’ve come to know along the way. Adam Nenedál from Prague has booked shows for us in Central Europe, and we’ve also played some shows together (his solo project is Aran Epochal). He’s a caring host and lovely company. He also makes some great music - usually with vocals, acoustic bass, and sparse backing tracks.
It was an honor to be asked to play on the new album by Aran Epochal & Tahle Hubda, “Doba Bronzová.” Mat Sweet from Boduf Songs also contributes, among others. Please see the band’s site for details: http://www.aranepochal.tv
