As some as you
know my underground band / noise supergroup DIH (or Distorted in Hindsight to
give its full name) have produced some quite noisy and brutal spoken word based
albums over the years.
In 2002, for a one
off joke as a side project for Christmas, I decided with the help of a few
friends decided to do in album in the space of half an hour (as was the
original plan) where we would crippled, murder and take the piss out of as many
songs as we could.
By the time we got
to 2003, as is the nature of the beast with this kind of things, things
snowballed and it had become officially a DIH project (with Keith and Clara
onboard of course) where between the three of us with an ever increasing cast
play around with the myth of the Christmas which will often be funny and sad
sometimes within the same breath.
To date, the music
within these albums have contained anything from singer / songwriter stuff,
Brian eno tributes, full on noise, Christmas carols, mashups with the aim to
see how many tracks we can bootleg into oen tracks, Aphex twin type crunchers,
spoken word and anything else we can throw into the kitchen sink
The music
contained within this series of albums are varied and can vary from acoustic
singer songwriter stuff to music that could appeal to fans of Aphex Twin, fans
of the spoken word all designed to make people think and challenge them as much
as we can.
Although DIH as a
band is quiet nowadays, the Christmas project is still ongoing and is now
accepting submissions for it’s now 12th year of submissions and
would like people to submit whatever
they feel like submitting on mp3 etc for inclusion on a to be uploaded
Christmas albums viva HICC.
