It's A Bad Kind Of Memory That Only Works Backwards, 2009

Like Music But Boring - friday 8th august at the commonplace leeds

Like Music But Boring is an evening of 'sound art' currated by Laurence
Moxon Byrne. A screening of Untitled (silversluceandsmog) will accompany this night with the possibility of selected sections from Syrian Rue. These will be 'closed' showings by which I mean the audio will be the prerecorded audio and not a live performance.

Here is the full lineup:

Sound art performances from:

Jez riley French (Hull) - field recordings/intuitive music

These Mountains (Leeds) - minimal guitar/field recordings

Untitled (silversluceandsmog)

Clip from latest film piece, Silversluceandsmog. The film features music by Ashtray Navigations kindly supplied by Phil Todd and comes from an old album called Four More Ragga Moods. Available on 3" DVD soon. Contact for a copy.

Four Mourners (Tattered Robes and Dead Landscapes)

Syrian Rue at 20th annual Termite Club Festival, Leeds

Should really have posted this earlier but the Syrian Rue collection was screened (in what technically counts as a world premiere) at the Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds as part of the 20th annual Termite Club Festival on the 19th May. Thankyou to Mel and all who managed to attend and anyone who gave me kind words afterwards.

Also, the Syrian Rue DVD is becoming increasingly hard to find so just supposing anyone really wants a copy they can purchase one by dropping me a line.

Sun Child - extract from Eoin Shea / Michael Flower collaboration

Extract from collaborative work between myself and Michael Flower (Vibracathedral Orchestra, Flower/Corsana, United Light etc). Available on the Syrian Rue DVD project.

The film is made from a manually manipulated found super8 film loop with extra digital compositing and overlays.



Michael Flower performing with John Moloney of Sunburned Hand of the Man fame. Ecstatic Peace also have some very cool gig footage which is viewable here.

Syrian Rue - films by Eoin Shea with music by Michael Flower DVD

Brand new self released DVD-R project with Michael Flower (of Vibracathedral Orchestra, Flower/Corsana Duo, United Light, occasional Sunburned Hand of the Man etc):

Limited self-released DVD that bundles the hallucinatory full-colour experimental short films of UK avantist Eoin Shea (in a style that combines psychedelically altered 'found' footage and 1970s/80s home movies with over the top technicolour visual fluctuations ala Kenneth Anger’s Magik Lantern Cycle) with unreleased music by Michael Flower of Vibracathedral Orchestra. The sonics here are drawn from what would have been Flower’s first solo album, with long tracks of warped electric strings extended into aggressively amplified ragas. An inspired collaboration.
Volcanic Tongue

Available online now at Volcanic Tongue and various US distributors soon enough.

Phase Kenosis on Another Whip / The Blue Shrowd of Alcatraz by the Telescopes

First official release on Trensmat with the Telescopes who are Stephen Lawrie and Bridget Hayden. They kindly released a film I made for them with an accompanying unreleased live set they did in the States a while back. The record's awesome noisiness with amazing Lauren Naylor wrap-around artwork. Pretty much sold out now though I'm afraid.
