The postie brought me this earlier. I only found @joquailcello.bsky.social on Bandcamp a few weeks ago while searching for all things cello. I was too late finding out she was playing in Glasgow & Edinburgh - next time hopefully. Music that reaches deep inside you ❤️

Some photos from last Saturday's Omeara gig in London, supporting the amazing @joquailcello.bsky.social 💚 Lovely audience and great venue. 📸 Leon Barker #violin @dhpfamilylive

This is still available to playback, with live chat replay for extra warm lovely feels. Thanks to #Cardiacs for giving us such a treat.

Thank you for receiving my new single Rex so warmly. I want to share with you more about the journey this piece has taken and what it means to me. #composer #musicaljourney #newsingle #cellist #evolution #progress #history @robotneedshome.com

Composer Jo Quail releases rich, enigmatic soundscape on ‘Rex’ London-based composer and sound designer Jo Quail has released a fierce, atmospheric journey on her latest single ‘Rex’, out now via Adderstone Records.

If you're staying in later on, no matter where you are in the world, there's a very special screening of a recently discovered bootleg of Cardiacs playing at the Town & Country Hall, London in 1988, which you can watch here: youtu.be/KidL8T-Wzy8q Lots of added frills before, during & after too 🥰🎊🎶

Costin interpreted both my words and my music with what I can only describe as a psychic intuition and I feel deeply honoured to be working with him on 'Notan' and 'Ianus'. You can explore his work at www.twilight13media.com and you’ll see his client list - it’s an encyclopaedia! #artist #artwork

The oak before the city expresses that beautifully.

'Notan' is actually one half of a broader artistic concept — the second part is 'Ianus', a full orchestral album coming next year (more on that soon!). At the heart of both works is an idea I keep returning to: that history doesn’t sit behind us, but stands in front of evolution and progress.

That became a central visual theme, and Costin captured it with something truly special.

The stunning artwork for 'Notan' is by the incredible Costin Chioreanu. I shared with him a simple image that I see every day: ancient oaks standing before the vibrant, ever-changing city — two worlds in constant motion.

It's #albumlaunch day! If you're anywhere near #Newcastle, come down to The Globe for the full live premiere of my album Subterranea before it's released tomorrow. You'll also get treated to hypnotic electronic and vocal noisescapes of Lauren Sarah Hayes and the aquasonics of David De La Haye.

I am excited to announce that 'Notan' will be out on 12th September, also when my UK tour celebrating this release starts. I present the first single "Rex" to you now: joquail.bandcamp.com/album/notan I will tell the story of this piece over the next few weeks... Love Jo xx @robotneedshome.com

Coming this Wednesday... @robotneedshome.com
