touring is hard for an introvert

I forgot to post this on here. I’m heading to Europe this week. Brighton, Berlin, Warsaw, Vilnius, Helsinki, and Riga. See you out there.

chik white- face across the door I'm pretty sure this is what folk music is supposed to sound like. @darcyspidle.bsky.social nailed it on this one. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/face-a...

Call me a radical leftist or whatever, but I’m feeling excited about this @avilewis.ca win. Canada needs some political imagination right now.

Yeah, that was a fucking great speech. The new NDP leader, folks. Avi Lewis.

I have a new album coming on the Italian label Music à la Coque. Pre-order available now. #bandcampfriday musicalacoque.bandcamp.com/album/face-a...

I wish Mark Carney had this courage. Canada's response has been an embarrassment.

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

I'm embarrassed for the garbage man to see my abstract paintings.

Chad VanGaalen Announces 'Peace Museum Volume 2' with chik white

this is why I can't bring myself to surf this summer. youtu.be/setLxADsRKQ?...

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-...

I made a music video this morning youtu.be/yD7EYf_UGTk?...

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.
