Rhys Harper

Previously in a different life I have been involved jointly with a small scale record label with Benjamin Watson known as "Sickroom Gramophonic Collective" between 2001-2004. Norwich Live Gig promoter with "WombatWombat" and alternative recording engineer/producer during same period - sometimes working under the name "M.E.G.A.N Process" - recording bands in any location of their choice. Also was a full time member of many bands including the Norfolk UK band Magoo joining the group to help with the promotion of the "Vote The Pacifist Ticket Today" UK tour with Derby band Cable, a Radio One Newcastle sound city live show and various John Peel Sessions for the BBC. After the departure from the group of David Bamford and Andrew Hodge, Andrew Rayner, Owen Turner and I built a 16/256 track digital studio in the 'Sickroom' rehearsal room and we started writing and recording the "Realist Week" album. I remained working with the group until the Realist Week album was released. Other bands I have performed and recorded with include the legendary Norwich group "The Pitkins" as their replacement violinst/guitar back-up , "Drudge" where I recorded, produced and sequenced bass/drums, and Suffolks finest post-punk noise outfit "Tokyo Sexhwale" where we recorded a Polly Session for an Ipswich local radio station.
