                    My name is Nick Franglen.  I am a musician and producer, best know for being half of Lemon Jelly and less well known for being half of Blacksand.   I've produced albums for John Cale and Badly Drawn Boy, played on studio recordings for Bjork, Primal Scream, Hole, Pulp and Blur, remixed Coldcut and the Pet Shop Boys, played the Teletubbies theme music live every night for a week with one of the Sex Pistols, been a bricklayer for Phil Collins, been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and a Brit Award, written the music for three seasons of a BBC TV series, released a track with William Shatner, been on Later with John Cale, laid a lawn for the President of the African National Congress, played a gig on a submarine, been in a band with Flea out of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, built a bridge that collapsed under Freddie Mercury, been a computer that interviewed Ken Russell, delivered newspapers for both John Cleese and Peter Cook and raised a bald baby blackbird chick for weeks until it was old enough to fly off.  In September 2010 I performed my Hymn To London Bridge, where I played a theremin under London Bridge for 24 hours in a collaboration with the tens of thousands of commuters who crossed the bridge that day, and this project had its second outing as Hymn To The Manhattan Bridge as part of Make Music New York, in June 2011.  I like wandering around abandoned buildings at night and mixed gas diving deep wrecks in the English Channel.  I've never been able to clunk it into second while hoisting a mother, and while I don't think I ever will I'm not letting that dream die just yet.
