A productive period, as the pandemic gave way to a ‘new normal’, and spanning the 25th anniversary of fiffdimension, … these days I live in a smalltown, and don’t get to play live as often as I’d like – but still created:
Live 2022-2024
Other notable works from these years include:
The Troubled Times

Adaptations of 19th century Scottish poems written by my great-great-grandfather
The Margins: 21/04/24

“A virtual infusion of ‘ants-in-the-pants’ for the entomologically deficient” – Antony Milton
Negentropic Diatribes – w/ James Robinson (2022)
and a multimedia spoken word + improvised music collaboration with award-winning painter James Robinson ; (a semi return to the style of my solo albums from 20 years prior)
“I like it as a intunal thoughtthread outloud with phrases that wriggle with sounds that wobble. Dave Edwards is quite good at this… and its to his professional and integrity driven playful collaborative openness that arts breathe in the smoggy clutter of the dense forest of synthetic posed narratives. Hmm, good on you guys – may th gods be with you”
James Robinson
