Convulsing // Perdurance.
(Avantgarde Music - 2025 - 🇦🇺)
Dissonant, claustrophobic, chaotic, but also full with superb melodies. This one man project is incredible and glad I finally discovered it and really take the time for it.

His words:
By virtue of being the particular kind of freak that plays aluminium instruments, I became familiar with Till and his (then Haven) pickups a few years ago during his time working with Baguley guitars. I was struck by the novel approach to construction, use of 3d printing, and the general “futurist” aesthetic that dovetails quite nicely with the general attitude of guitars made from aluminium. Years later, while searching for a builder who might make me something to spec/drop-in as a replacement set for an Electrical Guitar Company 7 String, Till came up again - now out on his own as Nova. Given his history with aluminium I felt like he was an obvious choice to understand the conceits of such a thing, so I immediately sent off an email and we worked closely together for a few weeks refining the details of fitment and voicing. The results were beyond my expectations in the best way possible.
They’re unquestionably among the best passive pickups ever made by human hands. Extremely “hi-fi” sounding, wide range, detailed, clear… yet integrated and solid feeling. On an already very lively instrument I didn’t think I’d have an experience that’d feel even livelier, like the entire guitar was the pickup. Simply a pure representation of the instrument, with a quality and character all their own. A marvel.
I’m eager to experiment with more sets in other guitars - the trouble is that I play mostly 7 strings and the only set that I have are one of a kind! Guess I’ll need to order a few dozen more…
Gear (for now):
Electrical Guitar Company Series Two 7 String Semi-hollow Aluminium Guitar with custom spec omnia set [Apex variant].
i could write a lot about my feelings touring around with @tahl_palm@jwptn@aaronbturner@bubblegutz nick and @gregatron_23 but nothing they haven't already said. it's unbelievable to me that this all took place, and i'm privileged to walk this earth and make my art alongside such beautiful people with strong ideals. a crystal light in the bleak darkness, lifting the weight of the boot of human cruelty that we all suffocate beneath, more important now than ever
excellent-as-ever shots of last week's gadigal show taken by pure legend @mono.focus.photos which represent these feelings well
love, peace and freedom to all. until we meet again.
just fyi, @sancttasmania are my current favourite australian (non-diploid) band and have been since we played together last year. WHEN COMES THE ALBUM, I NEED IT URGENTLY
TIX UP AT UNITEDFRONT.COM.AU
convulsing goose 🪿 unit out on tour with the @sumacbandofficial spice boys 🌶️ next year. a real chopped salad. looking forward to seeing every single person I've ever met playing music at these shows because we all love Aaron, Brian, Nick or all of the above (it's all of the above).
big hails to Greg and @unitedfrontau for making this happen for all of us who have been energetically manifesting this for the last 10 years
'No Patience / Undergrowth' will have been out for about a month, so a @bloodthinnersband show seems the right thing to do.
We've all bought records, seen shows and snuck a beer at @beatdisc over the past 30 years, so to be involved in this show is pretty awesome.
Come join us this Thursday (23.10.25) with @goethe.au and @convulsingman for this spectacular free show. Help celebrate the western Sydney institution that is the phenomenal Beatdisc Records.
