click for examples of my writing about music.....



Paraphilia magazine



on Speed the Plough



"Without being a synesthete you can HEAR the colours – big primary splashes from a child’s paintbox arranged with an adult’s eyes, ears and hands."



sound and music



on Graham Fitkin's piece 'Hook"



"It never fails to get a gasp from the audience in the juddering silence that meets the finish - as if they've dared not breathe in the face of such a musical attack."



Paraphilia magazine



on Alcest



"Shoegaze, dream-pop, black metal, post metal, blackgaze – too many bloody labels....."



Paraphilia magazine



on Roger Eno



"Listening to just a couple of tracks at a time is like overhearing snippets of a fascinating conversation but not understanding the whole."



Paraphilia magazine



on Barbez



"Furiously scrubbed high guitar notes are overwhelmed by tumultuous drumming which suddenly bursts into a theremin-led ‘secret agent’ theme."



"The cast could not create their magic without the aid…. of composer Stephen Hiscock who performs his score live….." - Theaterscene (New York)
