“Phrazer produces Minimal Techno and House, with glitchy tech elements to make progressive minimal dance music with passion.”

“Language is both our freedom and our restraint. Books have the power to influence, educate and inspire us. There is often a guilt associated with classic books we haven’t read. My work explores books that have inspired me. These revisited books begin to create my own list of books to be read. Reading leaves no material trace, but can forever change and alter our outlook and perceptions. This work attempts to create a trace of reading and interpretation. The text in these pieces becomes almost impossible to decode, symbolising how our understanding of text often becomes confused through reading. Many novels show the chaos made from one misinterpretation, which often acts as a catalyst for the plot…”

“the children saw the shooting star fall into the playground. and though it was past their bedtime they all ran out to find it and find it they did amidst the swings and slides and heaps of shredded pipes and metal that were no longer safe for them to play around. they gather around the lip of the crater and peer down at what has fallen into their little kingdom. they whisper and nudge and point and laugh and cry and one of them steps forward and begins slowly to move toward it…”

“the crowd begins to dissipate. the police are speaking to the last few eyewitnesses of which there were plenty. people like to talk. especially to those who look interested and take notes. murder is not an uncommon crime in the city but it does not take place on a crowded highstreet often and the lucky bystanders are more than willing to speculate on the hows and whys.
a young man with a press id attempts conduct his own investigation but his sources interrupt and contradict one another without cease more interested in ensuring the correct spelling of their names than giving an accurate report…”

“I am not a tall person, but I seem shorter than I am because I tend to slouch. A chav once told me I was the prettiest girl he had seen that day, but he was probably just being nice. I worry about things and daydream excessively.”

“the playground.”

“I have been recently looking into the spheres of Scientific research and Science-Fiction and digesting the web of information via drawing, installation and photography. This series of photographs are a development of work I was doing where I was trying to fabricate domestic UFOs. I am currently exploring where scientific anomaly ends, science-fiction and conspiracy begin in relation to the artifice of image making.”

“I started creating paper cuts during the second year of my Fine Art degree at the University of Lincoln. After experimenting with different cutting techniques and a variety of paper, now in my third year I have begun to focus my work. Using a craft knife I cut tiny, repetitive, circular patterns into paper. A structure of connecting circles builds over the sheet so some of the original form has been kept, but the page also becomes really fragile. The cutting of these …

“I have a very quick but considered approach to illustration. My work is often developed from spontaneous ‘off the cuff’ drawings which keeps the work fresh and makes it exciting to look at. My favorite area to work within is Editorial Illustration, I am also interested in live art work in combination with Music.”

Lilac Joke are a conundrum. At one moment they are balladeers writing melodious acoustic contemplations, and the next they are producing party-banging-dancefloor-fillers. Most people enjoy both. Labelmates with the infamous Ctrl. and chrisnjack they are highly influenced by life, approaching it from a party perspective…

I went to the cinema a few times and got popcorn every single time…

“Birds are symbolic of freedom, peace and fragility. Flocks of birds can stir emotions of awe, fear and majesty. Ornithologists have documented birds for many centuries; capturing them from life with accuracy and realism. I have studied birds from life and in photographs: my drawings strive to obtain a high amount of realism; alluding to the works of bird artists such as John Gould and Edward Lear.
Birds are often displayed in museums: taxidermic creatures posed in life-like positions despite …

“Underdogs Music’s love affair with The Fanclub began back in May, when top Underdog Faye Hunter came to be on the panel of JD Unsigned. The Fanclub made it all the way to the finals, by which point Faye was utterly hooked on the band’s sound, and determined to be involved in seeing the Bournemouth 3 piece’s potential unveiled.
Now, after months of planning, a creative meeting of minds between the band …

“I have a huge love for music and thats where the inspiration comes from in some of my favourite pieces. Some of my work is self-initiated but most of it is my outcome to a brief given by university.

Seen as though this industry is based on opinion of what is good design and what is not, I try and produce work to satisfy myself, to create a portfolio that reflects myself, and not a collection of opinions.”

MUSIC:

- Amsterdam

It was what the aged folks referred to as ‘a high old time’,
or what the papers might call ‘a drink and drugs binge’.
He was a drifter, sometimes. Spent a while in a penthouse flat,
in New York, New York, til they caught up with him.
With his suit and scent, he’d shoot up in 7th floor apartments
with chicanos, cutting up with their green cards and putting
the world to rights. An hour later, he’d be shaking hands with
Senators.
In between the flat and the Brooklyn brownstone, he’d scatter
singles like pignuts to the dispossessed. One …
