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:

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

Spastic Rhythms ’22

an album of solo instrumentals and dog duets–

2023

Marked the 25th anniversary of fiffdimension with

Electric (yang) / Acoustic (yin)¹ 2CD compilation 1998-2023 :

“Double disc collection of more than two decades’ worth of live and studio-recorded tunes by Dave Edwards, who you may have heard recently as part of The Troubled Times with Antony Milton. It’s quite a diverse listen!

“You get some concise and catchy pop songs, some full-on rockers, banjo excursions, improv freak-out, poetry, acoustic blues, folk songs, scrambled noise… A good intro to Dave’s dauntingly deep discography.”
– Howard Stelzer, Noisy Bandcamp.

“Dave Edwards is a thoughtful and talented writer, composer, and performer. This double album ably demonstrates that. He doesn’t seem to so much want to push boundaries, as to act like he’s never heard of boundaries in the first place.

“At times soft and beautiful, at others dark and jarring, it makes for fascinating listening.” – Peter Malthus, muzic.nz
