G.R. HARMSTON

Writing project where I combine Philosophy, Contemporary Theory, Cultural Analysis and Theory Fiction to try and get to the bottom of things that are going on in various parts of Art, Society and People.A book called Capture and Malaise is in progress which will be a series of interlinked essays analysing the ways people, their different levels of identity, personhood, desires and personal culture are captured, controlled and distorted by Social Technology, Ideologies, Media narratives and other aspects of modern existence. Parts of the book will be released as audio/visual elements prior to the book coming out in a similar way to releasing singles from an album.

UPCOMING/IN PROGRESS PROJECTS

IRREDEEMER

New music project just getting started. Will combine elements of Deathdoom, Noise Electronics and various other styles into some crushing, bleak and heavy tunes with lyrical themes of isolation, loss and revival.

• Instrumental Demo Track

ULTRASALAD PODCAST

Upcoming monthly zine podcast where each episode will combine regular elements such as film/book reviews, Art, music and ramblings (the leaves) with other audio segments about various weird/interesting stuff (salad bits). These elements will be all mixed up and bound together with musical backdrops (the dressing) into a nutritious and delicious audio salad.

PAST/DEFUNCT PROJECTS

STOWAWAY
Hip Hop project running from 2009-2015ish where I made rap music, spoken word, beats, performed live and battled. Technically restarted in 2021 under a shortened name but with enough changes to styles and approaches to make it a new separate era.

• Complete Music Archive

• Rap Battles

• Lyric archive
