later this week, I am heading to Saskatoon for a chik white performance and a field recording workshop. Looking forward to it.

Field recording workshop with Darcy Spidle at PAVED Arts on October 18th from 3–5pm @pavedarts.bsky.social @darcyspidle.bsky.social

I took all the prices off my bandcamp releases and then ended up selling a bunch of stuff today. Surprising result. Thanks, folks. A few hours left for Bandcamp Friday. chikwhite.bandcamp.com

the tracks on my new jaw harp album all sound something like this

if your music isn’t unlistenable, I don’t want to hear it.

I made a noise album with a jaw harp, bits of metal, and an ultra-sensitive contact mic. No effects added. Lots of bass on this one. Decent headphones required. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/transf...

Looks like my alphorn drone album is now sold out at the label, so I added the few CDs I have to my bandcamp. I'm proud of this album. Check it out and maybe even order one of these last copies. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/wind-w...

I’m itching to start performing full-on noise baths with raw ocean wave recordings.

My pal just sent me this 1978 documentary on the Spivey's Corner Hollerin' Competition. Essential viewing for anyone interested in the human voice. www.folkstreams.net/films/welcom...

I’ve been recording a particular sea cave/crevice in Clam Harbour, Nova Scotia for many years. Last night I learned that the old timers out here call that place The Devil’s Throat! 🔥🔥

I had a lovely time presenting my field recording work at Steeple Green last night. For me, listening to nature sounds through quality speakers at high volume is such a moving experience. I hope to present more listening events of this type. Thanks to all of those who came out.

I’m really looking forward to playing my periwinkle recordings through quality speakers, at high volume, for a live audience tonight. Ideal music.

Folks in and around the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia and Halifax should check out this show tomorrow night. I've rented some extra gear to make sure my recordings sound their best. Steeple Green is a wonderful venue and bookstore. Should be a lovely evening.

Watching the tide go out is one of the real pleasures of living next to the ocean.

Nathan Fielder is the greatest Canadian talent of all time.

I spent some time yesterday dropping my hydrophone into the local ponds. Interesting listening.

I find the Clown Torture video embedded in this article quite intriguing.

for those who love and those who hate, I just posted the full album on youtube. youtu.be/BMi3Th8ERT0?...

Big weekend plans: I'm going to check out some local ponds with my hydrophone.

I put together a 15 minute EP for Bandcamp Friday. Some weird stuff here for those who indulge. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/other-...

Montreal friends, come see me perform at Suoni in June. Tickets here: suoniperilpopolo.org/program/jess...

I spent yesterday afternoon dipping my hydrophone into the Halifax harbour. It’s noisy down there! Here’s a short sample.

I’ve always wanted to tour the states. But the prospect seems scary as hell at the moment.

nice light at the beach tonight

face noises and such…

Given the precarious nature of online platforms, I’ve decided to try harder to archive my work in physical form. With that goal in mind, I just put together a cassette version of my guitar album - clowning the town. Limited, one-time edition of 41 cassettes. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/clowni...

Going down memory lane this morning. Here's a young chik white at a Shit Cook performance circa 2004. That chef's knife really made my guitar squeal.

ALBUM OF THE DAY: compelling guitar-based noise. This album expertly balances tonal clanging with atonal textures and squelches. The band demonstrates a great understanding of pacing and density: individual noise elements shine through rather than disappearing into a wall of unintelligible sound.

Twenty years ago I had a solo noise project called Shit Cook. Lately, I’ve been thinking about putting out a new album. Here’s my release from 2005. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/shit-c...

my brother lent me an overdrive pedal. so this is the kind of music I make now.

The legendary folk singer Michael Hurley has died at the age of 83. In 2020, Hurley stopped by the Democracy Now studio to discuss his life and career, and to perform some of his music.
