Hi there,

We recently launched our album at the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne, Australia.  I recorded both our sets via a desk recording and a couple of condenser microphones.  I have just uploaded the final song for the night, 'A Menacing Present'.  It is the newest song I've done with the current band lineup.  Please have a listen and leave some feedback.

The band during this performance was: Greg Findlay - ebow, Shaun Petty - electric guitar, Claire Deak - organ, Adam Casey - electric guitar, voice, tibetan bowl, Kirstin Honey - trumpet & vocals, Justin Rhodes - drumkit, Mike Findlay, bass

Hi all,

I'd like to welcome a new collaborator to the boy who spoke clouds fold: Kirstin Honey.  Kirstin and I were two of the major songwriters for 'Seascapes of the Interior', and I'm very excited to be working with her again.  She is contributing many different instruments and we're currently head deep in rehearsals for our Melbourne album launch at the Northcote Social Club, November 19. 

Below is a video of Kirstin and I workshopping some vocals for the song, 'Happening'.

Hi there,

I've decided to take this blogging thing a bit more seriously.  Go here: http://theboywhospokeclouds.wordpress.com/ for regular updates from myself (I will try to post at least once a week, if not more often).  The blog will act as a launchpad for fans of my music to get to know me a little more.  I will be posting my general observations of life up there, but also regular updates about tour and album progress, as well as mp3s posted on bits and pieces I'm working on. 

Some of you may know that I'm also a writer and academic, so I plan on uploading essays, short stories and poems that I'm working on for publication.  I hope to see some of you over there!

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of recording a concept album called 'Fields'.  It will be a series of 'ambient' pieces of music which are recorded at my home with me, alone, improvising, sometimes live, sometimes multitracking.  The pieces are sonic representations of fields, that is, literal fields, as in the fields that have grass growing in them!  Hehe.  Literal is a strange word to describe them though (or anything really), but I think you get the picture.  So far I have recorded 'Dusk Field', 'Morning Field' and 'Lost Field', but only one of these is complete.  I've just posted the complete one, entitled, 'Lost Field'.  There will be 6-8 fields recorded for the album.

At present, these fields are my hope and where I'm pouring my love.

Each field will have a silent text that operates within the song.  Here is the text for 'Lost Field'.


Lost Field

....................

At what point

did the love,

once cherished,

become poison?

.. ..

Infected blood,

an unnatural, angry crimson.

.. ..

And so, the bloodletting begins,

and fevered expulsions

become a gnashing desire,

wilted limbs, cheeks that could cut,

sallow skin wraps itself

lovingly to your bones,

your bones, yes,

even they have been penetrated,

perhaps the origin of all memory,

lies in an aching shudder,

deep within their chalk white centres.

I hope you enjoy.

Hi all,

I'm hoping to tour Europe around June/July of 2010.  It's still up in the air at this point as I need to pay off some credit cards after the US tour and also am hoping to find some European distribution of my album prior to heading over.  Anyway, I'm looking to put together a European band for a tour mid 2010. There will be a week of rehearsals in Middelburg, Netherlands, with a couple of shows amidst rehearsals, then hoping to play through London, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany (roughly: others could be added). The tour will be around the 4 week mark in total. If you're interested in being a part of the band and either live in Europe or would be willing to travel, please do get in touch for further details.

So far I have the wonderful Tonnie Dieleman from Middelburg who'll be contributing guitar and voice on the tour.  Check out Tonnie's own project, Demannenbroeders: awesome stuff. http://www.myspace.com/demannenbroeders

Hi all,

Well, the 'Prayers to Not Knowing' tour has ended, and in my mind, was a wonderful success.  I am going to post a big webblog thing with video and photos and a journal of the trip on my website soon.  I'll keep you posted.  Thank you so fucking much to all the beautiful people who helped us on our way (too many to name right now) and to all the awesome bands that shared the stage with us.  America is a beautiful country and nearly all the people I met were so generous, hospitable and caring.  LOVE!

Hi Everybody,

We've played two shows so far: Don Pedros and Glasslands Gallery, both in Brooklyn.  The Don Pedros show was about as 'rock' as we'll ever get, with several drunk audience members banging on some of my musical toys while we played.  Glasslands was a small audience, but an amazing venue.  Very unique and a great edge to it.  We played a pretty good show there, but better things to come I suspect.  I have been posting photos on facebook, and neglecting myspace, but I promise I'll get some up soon.  Video footage to come too.  Love...

Adam

Hi all,

Sorry to any Buffalo folk who planned on attending, but our Buffalo show was cancelled yesterday (at Soundlab), due to circumstances outside our control.  Sad sad.
