For New Zealand Month last year we asked a bunch of people what they thought made Wellington music unique as well as what their favourite albums by Wellington artists were.

This year we thought we would do something similar, but slightly different. This time we’re asking people for a favourite memory of making music in Wellington. It could involve a favourite gig, a funny story from the recording studio, a moment that led to the inspiration for a song, the fond recollection of a defunct venue, or the piece of music or lyric that they are most proud of creating.

Today we caught up with Morgan Utting, who makes experimental instrumental post-rock both under his own name & the moniker Chi/drin.

The piece of music that I am most proud of creating is about the unnecessary amount of deaths resulting from drone warfare. I like it because it makes it’s point very simply, and yet still conveys a sense of terror. Here is the link:

You can check out more of Morgan’s work on Bandcamp, Soundcloud & Youtube.
