‘Exotic Prints’, a digital 4-track EP by Marcel Wave, is now available to buy on Bandcamp, offering a chance for all those who have enjoyed the music so far to support me in the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed – and maybe even witness the splendour of a full-length album in the future. To commemorate this momentous occasion, a video for one of the tracks has been created in partnership with JJD Works: watch Echtes Leder...

I’m DJing Bradford’s notable goth festival Infest this weekend, on Saturday night (set starting around midnight), along with Soft Riot as part of the Der Hammer DJ team. We’ll bring our trademark mix of synth-pop, electro and italo. I’m also pleased to announce that the mixing work with James Aparicio on my upcoming digital EP is nearing completion, with a release scheduled for autumn.

Fans of Canadian synth purveyor Soft Riot will be thrilled to learn of Marcel Wave’s appearance as a bassoonist on his new limited edition CD “You Never Know What Might Come Next“. I can be heard in the middle 8 on the urban dystopia-inspired track ‘Mass Exodus’. I haven’t been playing bassoon very long – I started it in January 2013, hiring a Czech instrument from Howarth’s in London. The bassoon has been described as one of the most difficult instruments in the orchestra and its sound has been likened to a sea god singing. It’s the only instrument that cannot be synthesized according to Synthesizer Patel, so it seemed an obvious choice for me. I was taken with it instantly and was lucky to find a good teacher to get started in London. After relocating to Sheffield I replaced it with a fine German Schreiber bassoon from Windstruments, a woodwind and brass emporium nestling in the West Yorkshire countryside. It’s the only shop in Crossflatts apart from a curry house and Tesco’s. It has a whole separate building full of bassoons… I also play bassoon on the Marcel Wave tracks Lady in Pieces and Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde, which can be heard on Soundcloud....
