Entitled Plus One, the album features a different gest musician on each track. All but one of the tracks were recorded live at Quadelectrectronic events.

Memory Wire have been going through their live recordings when they have been playing with a guest. Christo edited some of the material and they are considering releasing it - working title Plus One)
Still deciding on whether to release it or not. Plus there was a recording made from the Stamford Chill-Out gig.
Here is a nice vid of Memory Wire pls Dave Powell on hurdygurdy & effect.

Memory Wire @ November Chill Out- gig report
Memory Wire played their longest live set at Some Other Chill - November Chill - Stamford Arts Centre It was quite a night - other acts included medieval music duo Mandrake, guitar master-looper Loop Cycle and visuals were by The Miracle Lens.
Then Memory Wire took to the stage and flew for an hour... playing 2 pieces. Jim recorded and filmed it so we will decide what to do with that but I suspect youtube will get it first.

This month sees the release of an album of ambient electronic music on theremin & effects. I;ve been recording it over the last few months and attending the Hands Off Theremin Symposium in Scarborough gave me the inspiration to work more on it.

Gently shifting patterns of chords, coming back on really long delays to make almost a string section of an orchestra.

I think this will appeal to those interested in my electronic music but also those who know my new age music will also I think find it relaxing.
You can hear the whole album online on the player below, plus you can download it (name your price - no minimum) and it will be on iTunes in October

Had great fun at Hands Off 2011 theremin symposium in Scarborough in July.
Whilst there I ...
1. received lessons from Lydia Kavina (Leon Theremin's great niece) and Barbara Buchholz.
2. played a solo slot at a concert in Scarborough's Spa Theatre and played in a 17 theremin orchestra.
3. got both of my theremin's modded by master technician Thierry Frenkel which should give them better volume sensitivity and pitch range
