My brand new solo harp album is released today via Sydney label New Editions, part of the empire that is New Weird Australia. It’s an 11 track album; I’ve ditched the monikers and it’s under my own name. It’s beautiful, glitched, melancholy future noise music.

It’s available to download right now for free/pay what you want. Yep, there’s no reason not to go and get it right now, and if you like it, feel free to keep me off the streets!

Download from here:

Happy New Year!
After a few months of hibernation in Nhulunbuy, i'm proud to announce that i've got two projects well on the go:

1. Kris Keogh - Processed Harp Works, Volume 1
My first release under my own name is very nearly completed and will be released by New Editions next month. There's a track to preview up on my Myspace page, here. It's called 27 11, you'll need to scroll to find it since myspace is so lame.

I'm touring Australia to support the release in March 2011, dates announced soon.  The album is future style electronic art music, with all the source sounds coming from me playing the harp.

2. Super Happiness Beatbox Mayhem
My first foray into iPhone app development is well underway, and an early version will be exhibited in 'genart_sys' in Sydney, a new media art show curated by the Australia Council.
Screenshot below, the official release is still a few months off though...
