On this day, August 3rd, 1916, Roger Casement was executed at Pentonville prison in London for treason. 1/3

A beautiful day recording music with friends in Camden.

Just saw the film Face (1997). Set in the London I moved from NZ to - a young Damon Albarn, old car reg plates, undeveloped east end, drum & bass, rain. Antonia Bird was a great director and I wish I had got to work with her.

Great day recording at Camden Garden studios. Grateful for these very fine musicians.

Now in cinemas in Taiwan! A new poster and a new audience. Really excited that audiences in Taiwan will get to see White Plastic Sky. Honoured to have worked on this with Tibor and Sarolta, and to have created the score for this beautiful film.
