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

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...

I like to think there’s a comedy element to what I do. If I don’t hear people laughing while I perform, I assume things are going poorly. A lot of experimental musician/improvisers take themselves way too seriously IMO.

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’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.
