'Pale Blue' is Richard Harding's first for the label, despite appearing on several titles as a band member or collaborator.
This 64 minute drone-ambient piece takes in the entire chromatic scale via a carefully-worked out schematic.

'staged' is the third Bloodcog album, recorded live in Manchester and Liverpool, September 2024.It's beautiful, calm, abrasive, ugly - sometimes all at once.

Richard Harrison - drums and objects, Pete Smyth - electronics and loops.

Not all the basic tracks for 'exoskeleton' got used - but what was left was too good to bin, so we turned it into a quartet album. Less electronic than 'exoskeleton', more of a 'jazz' album, almost.
Fran Bass - electric bass, Richard Harding - chapman stick, Phil Hargreaves - saxes/flute/EWI, Richard Harrison - drums and objects.

'exoskeleton', the second album by Bloodcog. Bloodcog is now a five-piece: Fran Bass - electric bass, Richard Harding - chapman stick and classical guitar, Phil Hargreaves - saxes/flute, Richard Harrison - drums and objects, Pete Smyth - electronics and loops. It's funkier than the first one, and according to Corey Mwamba on Radio 3, a "swagger".

'Where We Were (Shadows of Liverpool)' is a CD on the
Leo label, which represents the culmination of four years' work.
We recorded in significant and/or unusual acoustic
locations in Liverpool, letting the environment have a say in
the shape of the music. Then we stitched the recordings together
to make an extended electro-acoustic composition, an amalgam of
snap decision making and considered construction.
