Music Radar Interview

Posted on 6th January 2022 in News, Press

We recently had a good chat with Danny Turner over at Music Radar about the album Music For Photographers and our approach to developing recent projects.

“We had all the OB8s and Roland stuff, but we just sampled the hell out of them and created our own libraries, so why have thirty grand’s worth of stuff that we bought off Phil Collins sat in the corner?”

Brutal Sheffield Book

Posted on 25th January 2021 in News, Press

We’ve been working on this for a while and finally, it’s almost here!

This book deals with my attempt to come to terms with Sheffield, living and working here, the place I fell in love with, the past, the future and the present.

I never expected something like this to cause such a crisis of confidence, what kind of photographer am I? What’s my style? Ultimately, am I good enough?

I didn’t want this to be a nostalgia trip with rose-tinted glasses, nor did I want to present the place I live as a run down shitehole but I’ve long been a fan of “publish and be damned” so, here it is My Brutal Sheffield, I hope you love it as much as I do.

104 pages in square format, 21cm x 21cm perfect bound and printed on heavy stock, uncoated paper to give a classy silk feel. 90 photographs along with some text about places, thoughts and feelings.

The Black Dog – Some Interview

Posted on 21st March 2012 in Press

You’ve released three very different records in the past year: Music For Real Airports, Liber Dogma and the second part of your collaboration with the Psychick Warriors of Gaia. How would you describe the thought process behind each one and how they tie into the overall Black Dog ethos?
[The Black Dog] Everyone project is different, each one is a separate piece of art for us. Each has different emotions, reasoning and vision behind it, we like to investigate our subject and then convert everything through the use of machines, something we have always done and strive to be better at. At times we’ve tested our supporters by moving subjects or changing our “sound”. but it’s something you must do as an artist. you can’t be a Dorian Gray in reverse. you can’t stand still forever. or else you would stagnate and die. We have a phrase here which sums it up.. “chicken and basket band”. Not that there is anything wrong with playing music, while people enjoy their food. It’s a decent and honourable living. But it’s not something we would be comfortable with. The safe, the familiar, and knowing what will happen before you do something, is not for us.
