More radio play :-) This time an old track getting a spin by the amazing DJ Space Terrapin www.mixcloud.com/SpaceTerrapi...

Great film about how Amulets works. Anyone else that uses tapes I should have a look at? youtu.be/fQJoBXKAMVA?...

Going through old tapes looking for interesting snippets - this one perfect for what I want. Gig recorded on a cheap cassette recorder with plenty of audience noises. Digitising agogo!

WANTED - Short audio messages remembering Barrow music scene 76-96. I'm creating a new music using recordings of the Barrow music scene and want people talking about it. No long stories, just a few sentences about why it was special. Send a message here, or email an mp3 to [email protected]

We are a few tracks short for a proposed compilation for @meansmagazine.bsky.social vol 2. This is NOT a formal call-out, we can't offer money. BUT if you have a track (new or old), that engages with power/politics/privilege in some way get in touch! We'll include track and write about u in mag.

A few local demos have been found. Next thing to do. Digitise them - plus a bunch of rehearsals and live recordings.

Non archivists look away now. Looking for local band demos from 1980s to 90s. See what I find :-)

Arthur Baker on the latest Urban Mutant show. Give it a listen

I’m involved in a project about the music scene in Barrow 1977-95. I’m creating new work about that time. I’m looking for recordings of music & gigs to create new tracks. Drop line here/email [email protected] - Digital preferred, but can get other stuff sorted. youtu.be/iAkJ1V_y8IU?...

Snow day here in South Cumbria

“I learned from my early DJ years that you can create another sound if you know how to play two records together. So why not use three?” 35 years on from their debut single, Ben Cardew explores The Orb's humour and anything-goes approach to sampling

So any recommendations for ‘electronic’ music. Please share links for me to listen to stuff. Needing a refresher :-)

Previous releases here. Pay what you want. All profits go to make more music. clutter.bandcamp.com

Planning underway for my first release under the new name. Working title Conversations with Arthur. Should be an EP/mini album - demoing now

The first recording as Aoire and first music around 4 years. Made with Korg Volca Sample 2, Volca FM and Sonicware Liven Texture Lab. Pleased with the Little Annie feel - was listening to her and Twine a lot around recording. More to come in 2025 youtu.be/dn5VGrl8sjM?...

Get it while you can

Join Shaun on St Stephen’s Day for a laid back journey through some classic tunes. So put on your new PJs and a little squirt of that lovely new smelly and pour an XL eggnog and join us. Thursday 9pm on @cando.fm Set your controls for the heart of the sofa

Thanks very much to all the artists, labels and PR for sharing your music with us during 2024. Another year packed with great music. Looking forward to 2025! Best wishes to you all from Shaun and Steve.

Working on new music - hopefully have a few demos done over Christmas and will be looking for labels in the new year. Sounding a bit Boards of Canada so far, with a bit of dub :-) happy with the progress. Question do I start a new Bandcamp page for Aoire or put stuff on existing page?

Electronic music recommendations please - any genre but something that is inspiring for me to get inspiration from. And go…

Welcome to my Volca family - fun to play with :-)

Written after my mam died as a way to work through some feelings. Includes field recordings from a Barrow flat window and a visit to Dublin to sort out some paperwork. To Hazel xx clutter.bandcamp.com/album/on-hap...
