The first 4 jumps of my AFF Skydiving course!

I went to do my AFF skydiving course at the Voss dropzone in Norway last August.
I was invited to play a show in return for the course and ended up playing in a valley where base jumpers were landing... it was incredible!
Here's the video of me doing the first 4 out of the 7 jumps you need to complete the course. Unfortunately bad weather meant I had to stop, but I completed the rest a month later at Langer in the UK, the video of my last 3 will come soon... meanwhile, check out me FLYING!!

Merry Christmas from my band!

Here's my band SWIMMInG's cover of the amazing Christmas song In Dulci Jubilo.

Happy Christmas!

 

Here's an acoustic version of my bands single ‘Sun in the Island’ recorded in a forest in the snow!

Filmed and edited by Simon Ellis.

A short film that documents the day Swimming performed a unique acoustic version of Sun In The Island in the Skyspace installation found at the heart of Kielder Forest, Northumberland.

It is recorded by sonic artist Dallas Simpson using tiny microphones in his ears (binaural recording) that is designed to be listened back on headphones.
This will transport you to the exact placement of Dallas, moving around the space and the sound in this magical environment.

THePETEBOX Newsletter December 2010

Hello folks!

So since my crazy summer of festival fun (and a big thankyou to all who were there for my shows to make em so ace) I have been doing the rounds at fresher’s events to herald a new year of the uk’s finest academic brains embarking on their quest for brain food by starting university. I went to Leeds, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford, Chester, Brighton and London to party with the fresher’s and had my own lesson in how many fluorescent colours alcohol now comes in… get your shots out! There’s a video on it’s way from my full show in Oxford, will keep you posted.

Making Beats on the Bus to Bournemouth

We are currently in Bournemouth at the International Centre for the first of the matinee days... one show down, another on this evening!

The drive down was awesome, thanks to my loop pedal going down a treat with the boys, particularly Aidan and Mitchell!
Here's us making some live beatboxing productions on the road, will post some audio shortly!

Aidan, Perri n Mitch - my new street team!

We're now on the second of Hammersmith Apollo shows... 2 dates at this awesome venue, both sold out! Awesome!
I'm also pleased to announce my new street team - Aidan, Perri and Mitchell! Here they are in action with my stickers!

And here's Aidan doing his thing tagging Jay
