All the emails in the world are telling me it's Bandcamp Friday! I've not got anything new on the go, and all the vinyl is gone (soz) BUT my album The Pool for good ol' @castlesinspace.bsky.social is still available digitally, as well as all my other choonz. If you fancy buying them, that's lovely.

You can catch up to my hour of radiogram broadcasting at www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/.... It features music from @apta.bsky.social @polypores.bsky.social @sulkrooms.bsky.social and @loulayorke.bsky.social amongst others.

Look at this eh? Lindström, Thief Of Time, me! What a lovely gig.

HELLO! Sorry I've been quiet of late, been very busy with :gestures at everything: HOWEVER, I've got some exciting gig news coming next week and I've got music coming -anon- too. Lovely eh. apta.bandcamp.com/track/equinox This is one of my favourite Apta drifters from Vignettes (2021)

Thanks everyone who picked up a copy of "Cosmically A Shambles" over the weekend in the @crackedankles.bsky.social sale, I hope you like it! It's funny, people keep comparing it to Plaid, who I'd never heard at the time. I was trying to make a psych rock/jazz album with modular and a drum machine. 😆

#nowplaying @apta.bsky.social the pool, on @castlesinspace.bsky.social Keep coming back to this one 🔥

Mates, honestly. Listen to this. Stunning modern classical / folk / music concrete ambient business. An incredible record from @tonalunion.bsky.social

Happy Record Store Day for yesterday! Spent it swooning around Manc with @djdebgrant.bsky.social DJ’ing every nook and cranny. Managed to grab the @rivalconsoles.bsky.social LP I was after and spent far too much time in @piccadillyrecs.bsky.social // Props to @apta.bsky.social What a day 🥳

Two of my greatest music pals have wonderful releases today and they're both Stellar (no pun intended) @flcartographer.bsky.social stunning new album of impeccable, untethered electronic bliss is out on @woodfordhalse.bsky.social fieldlinescartographer.bandcamp.com/merch/wf-95-...

Can someone just buy that last copy of the pool from Juno. Staying power, that yin.

No 27! Have it.

Jon didn't cut it, sorry. Ben at Plastidisc did. Doh

Ooof hard one this. Let's goooo Smashing Pumpkins Pink Floyd The Album Leaf Explosions In the Sky GYBE

I'm glad you're all enjoying The Pool, it makes me very happy. Here's my usual revisitation of an album (EP) I made during lockdown which I probably credit the most for my sound nowadays. It's called 'Sun' and it did get cut onto vinyl by @doitthissen.bsky.social , 40 black 10 clear vinyl.

Really loving this new @apta.bsky.social album on @castlesinspace.bsky.social: apta.bandcamp.com/album/the-pool Proper unforced Eno drifting here.

You need to hear this. Huge, expansive untethered ambient Bliss.

In Feb I released a film score on @subexotic.bsky.social for Jack Laurance’s ‘Take A Look At God’s Face’, and I wanted to go into crazy depth on how I put the music together and the tools I use for soundtrack work. There’s a mega 40min video walkthrough on my Patreon and here’s a few previews..

Big thanks to Huw Stevens for playing a tune from my new one for @castlesinspace.bsky.social and for saying all the lovely words. Great show, huge honour to be included. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

RaaRaa is like the MC Grindah of the jingly jangly jungle.

Today is tour prep day. Rehearsing, fine tuning and working out how I can make my electric violin sound utterly hideous. Next week - let’s GO!

A massive shout out too, to such a verdant environment that inspires such creativity and beauty. I'm constantly dumbfounded by how talented and lovely all my peers are. Well done everyone. Especially YOU.

Can't get enough of this superb Andrea Cichecki @andreacichecki.bsky.social LP for the always brilliant @castlesinspace.bsky.social . Stunning synth soundscapes, beautiful presentation. andreacichecki.bandcamp.com/album/drawn-...

It's been three weeks today since I released The Pool with @castlesinspace.bsky.social, and it's been a huge success. Digital still available, but there aren't many hard copies in the wild now. apta.bandcamp.com/album/the-pool Thanks for the amazing reception everyone. It's been delightful. X

A great lineup, and always a great listen.

Now playing: apta.bandcamp.com/album/the-pool From the excellent @apta.bsky.social on the equally excellent @castlesinspace.bsky.social . I liked this on first play but it’s just getting better and better with repeated listens. ❤️

It's Bandcamp Friday! I have few wares, though there are still copies of the Submerge EP here, and loads of fun digital goodies. apta.bandcamp.com/album/the-pool
