This Sunday, I had the pleasure of playing a small gig at Hamlet Synthesized 2025, an amazing festival held in the medieval inner city of Castiglione Olona. Having a 30-minute slot, I decided to propose a compressed version of Flatline Voyages, my 2024 released by @difficultart.bsky.social

Just £1 will massively help a indie label at a time where grassroots music is suffering more than ever: Plus you can win cool prizes! difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/merch/daam-a... Please share with everyone you know!

Just received a generic rejection email for a job I applied for - complete with the obligatory 'we are unable to provide feedback', and an added bonus where they couldn't even be bothered to add a name or signature to the end of the email. I guess the AI bot in HR doesn't have a name so seems fair.

Weird how wealth inequality today is pretty much exactly where me and my punk friends said it would be 20 years ago: then, the mainstream narrative said it would never come this far, and now its happening those same people are saying there's nothing that can be done about it.

The self-titled debut album from Bristol’s Birdman Cult is a blast from start to finish. Its intoxicating mix of gritty post-punk rock-outs and buoyant garage rock stylings are as good on vinyl as they are live. Happy first birthday to this stunning release. 🎶 snd.click/bmc

We do a lot of 'difficult' music here at DAAM, but this one by @davidcurington.bsky.social is proper challenging. Nearly two hours of a slowly dissolving source that unearths constant new rhythms over time as your ears attempt to make sense of it: difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/daam-d...

put aside a bit of cash for new albums by artists I like, but didn’t end up gelling with their latest work. Tell me then, virtual friends - what album came out in the last year that you love and would rcmnd I buy? Any/all genres/styles welcome! (to keep it interesting, let’s avoid self-promotion!)

I've found myself wanting to listen to a couple of things that are only available on Spotify/Youtube recently, platforms I rarely use. Though they offer all music under the sun, we are surely all more aware of the environmental and social costs (including the mental fatigue of...

Ok - do me a favour! I made this frankly very cool art-film about swimming/depression, and I really want some people to see it. Please, please take a look, and even better, share this post / the video. Only 9 copies of the accompanying CD left! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOrA...

All are worth working a tiny bit harder to listen to. Also worth buying so nobody can take it away from you.

1) This is out today 2) it's really quite good 3) no one seems to be listening to it 4) no one seems to be buying it 5) you could change that An #experimental 'water-based' #ambient double album rich in aquatic #sound-design and stolen radio waves. distantanimals.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

My new album is almost out. I don't normally go in for 'genre' music, but I'm really proud to have made an 'ambient' album that holds it own amongst the best of them. Only 11 copies left. Please consider giving it your time. distantanimals.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

Remember when the tory's kept getting a new leader every other week because the current one showed such poor judgement? That.

Any other #autistic people find that, though they are a bit ‘face blind’, they can immediately read people in terms of their nature? Like if someone’s full of shit I can see it straight away, even if it takes others a while to figure it out?

Showing work at an arts festival 700 miles from where I live, and by complete chance the exhibit I’m next to is by someone who lives down the road from me.

Capitalism demands you watch/listen to a long, painfully slow, art-film about a depressed man turning into a fish. If you had any idea how long this film took to make, you’d be throwing money at me. distantanimals.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

The last part of our wildly-unpopular / creatively-exciting ‘hybrid print’ series is out today too, this time by @davidcurington.bsky.social. It’s long, and weird, and difficult, just like you. difficultartandmusic.bandcamp.com/album/daam-d...

Friends I have a new EP announced on Room40. It's very much connected to my latest LP caligo, It’s Bandcamp Friday, hope you enjoy listening to tons of stuff out there today! Thanks to Lawrence for the support as always. siavashamini.bandcamp.com/album/severed-like-the-red-moon Much Love ❤️🙏✨

It’s 7am and I’m in the airport waiting three years for a delayed flight. The coffee is terrible but I have this really quite special new release best described as AMBIENT MUSIC ABOUT A MAN WHO TURNS INTO A FISH. It comes with a movie and everything. distantanimals.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

My entire musical ‘career’ is built on day dreams, but this one was pretty good: I build a new instrument from an old zither and mail it to Siavash Amini, Machinefabriek, Mary J Leach and Aidan Baker, and we all make an album together. That would be awesome, right?

I was so glad my track 'Profoundly sick society' was included in the @meansmagazine.bsky.social HOPE/MAGIC compilation- and so pleased to get this write-up (amongst such an interesting collection of artists!) 🌱🙏💫❤️

I appreciate we live in an age where the only thing people will dedicate their time to is superheroes throwing each other through walls, but I made a 40-min film to accompany my new album: a dark fairytale about turning into a fish. It turned out pretty good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOrA...

This has been a long slog. After a few months of fairly solid work I'm 99% done scoring a 1 hour edit of Metropolis. A series of screenings/ performances with my soundtrack are in the pipeline, one for sure in London later in the Autumn. Then DVD release in time for crimbo

Proud to announce my new album is up for pre-order, released by Irregular Patterns! Recorded live at 3am in an outdoor swimming pool during an all-night swimathon. Calm music for swimmers (with some FM radio seeping in from across the channel). distantanimals.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

Finally found the new #DIY @meansmagazine.bsky.social with this wonderful #photo printed inside in my post box today and I'm now looking forward to what else it might hold. Seems like it will be much fun, telling from a first skim. #zine #artsky

Having worked as a writer for 15 years, it's genuinely sad how Gen-AI is homogenizing language, providing an almost identical inflection to everything it touches. It may make an individual's poor writing better, but it makes humanities communication overall much, much worse.
