After studying philosophy and being an absolute fiend for music, I was first encouraged into blogging in 2004 by Mark Fisher, whose K-punk blog created a massive stir and helped propel some of Mark's best and most important writing. In the meantime, I had moved from South Wales where I had grown up, and via the midlands for a number of years ended up in London. For a while making improvised music with the Eidetic Band (some stuff came out through Bo'Weavil). In the intervening time, making music and writing have been a mainstay of focus, while also exploring some visual arts techniques. Rattle Journal (edited by Jon K.

Solo work as Solar Violet https://solarviolet.bandcamp.com
