I write speculative fiction and make electronic music inspired by nature around Cape Town. In to: hauntology, alternate history, eco-horror.

Must be a reason for that?

@BreakinBahiyya Real question: do the young emos actually like Limp Bizkit? I feel like them and Korn are the two bands I liked when I was 14 that I feel the music doesn't hold up when you go back to it. Everyone else is still great.

[M.H. Bottils @bottils]

@kringrush Been my fav band since 2007. I got the 'Substance' LP and hated it at first, then with each repeated listen it got better.

[M.H. Bottils @bottils]

@canefires Cruel.

Tomorrow at Entanglements in Observatory, me and Stanley will perform 3 improvised songs using a small synth, lots of reverb + delay, and some field recordings on a tape loop. This is a clip of an early practice session. 

Audience will get to pick the chords randomly from a bag.
