I forgot to post this on here. I’m heading to Europe this week. Brighton, Berlin, Warsaw, Vilnius, Helsinki, and Riga. See you out there.
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 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.

I spent some time yesterday dropping my hydrophone into the local ponds. Interesting listening.
Montreal friends, come see me perform at Suoni in June. Tickets here: suoniperilpopolo.org/program/jess...
I spent yesterday afternoon dipping my hydrophone into the Halifax harbour. It’s noisy down there! Here’s a short sample.
Given the precarious nature of online platforms, I’ve decided to try harder to archive my work in physical form. With that goal in mind, I just put together a cassette version of my guitar album - clowning the town. Limited, one-time edition of 41 cassettes. chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/clowni...
Going down memory lane this morning. Here's a young chik white at a Shit Cook performance circa 2004. That chef's knife really made my guitar squeal.
my brother lent me an overdrive pedal. so this is the kind of music I make now.
I've performed a lot as a musician, but never presented my field recording work live—until now. Next month, I'll be sharing a selection of ocean recordings at a beautiful bookstore near my home in the country. Excited for this show. And rBeny is on the bill!
obscure experiment with contact mic, muted jaw harp, breath, and mouth noises
Yesterday, I hiked to Bayer Lake in Musquodoboit to listen to the ice melt. Amazing tones. I recorded these sounds at this lake four years ago. I still think it's one of my most dynamic and stereophonic field recordings. Free download: chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/the-th... #fieldrecording
I have a number of oddball albums on Bandcamp for you to peruse today. Thanks for taking a look. #bandcampfriday chikwhite.bandcamp.com

Reminds me of this wall painting from Pompeii that I saw in Bologna a few years back.
I used the journal notes I made while recording my latest album to create this short video. Check out the full album here >> chikwhite.bandcamp.com/album/clowni...
