I've worked in worse places...

I'm in the States for the first time ever, working on a few adverts for Gatorade and have been ingesting material in my hotel room. It's been immensely enjoyable.

Tasmanian Sky

March 9th, 2014

I went to Tasmania for a few days and loved how beautiful the sky looked in comparison to the constant blue mainland Australia offered. Here's a video to show my appreciation of it.

Music also composed for film.

Hail! The Planes - Pontvane, April 2014

Wales, April 2014

Four of the H!TP sextet made our way to Pontvane this spring to write some stuff for our upcoming album. I didn't film as much as I wanted to but I've made a short preview of what's to come, enjoy!

A Very Large Mosque

A few years ago, I heard that they were building the largest mosque in Europe right here in London. 

I thought no more of it after that, but a few months ago I decided to look it up and found out that it was located no more than 4 miles away from my house!

It turns out that it is in fact the largest mosque in Western Europe

I'll be deeply honest, Morden is not a pretty place. It's a little bit like Tooting but without the intensity. 

The Baitul Futuh is located just on the outskirts of Morden near Morden South train station and it really is a strange site to witness. 

The building incorporates much of the structure of the old dairy factory it is built upon and certain parts really look like a factory from the outside.

I entered the gates at the front of the building and asked if I could have a look around.

The staff were more than happy to give me a guided tour of the area, and let me take a few photos of the exterior too.

The great hall inside can take up to 4,500 people at a time and it's incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately I couldn't take photos of the interior but the exterior has some great sites too.

Upon leaving the mosque I was told I should come and witness prayer time when I am next in Morden.

I might just do that.

Recommended Listening - Volume 4

It's day 3 of my non-stop migraine and I've taken so many drugs that I feel quite splendid/horrible.

What better way to start the day than with this classic from Action Bronson.

Oh, The Places You'll Go

December 2013 - The Channel Tunnel

Riding through this tunnel to Belgium, so many memories race through my mind.
