Things looking bleak in 2025? Do you enjoy different types of tea? I Bought a kettle that can boil water at different pre-selected temperatures. Wow - 2025 is looking a whole lot better.

Happy 10th anniversary year to SLOTH RACKET - here's to the next ten. Look out for forthcoming live dates at a venue near you - slothracket.co.uk (photos from Hundred Years Gallery, London, April 2024)

Some nice releases up on bandcamp. Lots of incredible collaborators I must say. andrewlisle.bandcamp.com if inclined

Very chuffed with these lo-fi stickers I just received from Duplikat Press in Margate. They have a nice fuzzy aesthetic and it's fun to have stickers on a roll! These will be in future @slothracket.bsky.social merch orders, and at gigs across this year. Really recommend Duplikat: www.duplikat.co.uk

This Saturday 22nd February in Brockley SE London, join us for more improvised duo sets at BRÅK! We're back in the beer shop once again with February guests Charlotte Arculus (electronics), Sue Lynch (tenor saxophone) and Julia Brüssel (violin). Doors 18:30 at waterintobeer.

New account here for my band...

This Saturday in Glasgow...

New Oozle out this week! Sign up for monthly mail art at patreon.com/RobChurm (link in bio) New members sign up through the patreon website as opposed to the applestore app because apple are adding a hefty £% so it's much cheaper through the actually patreon site.

also beyond grateful to be on this record with formidable @hanearlpark.bsky.social & Pat Thomas. These players are incredible and the gigs we did together brought me a lot of joy, knowledge and curiosity. Guitar / Sax / Electronics / improv - very free hanearlpark.bandcamp.com/album/juno-3...

Deleted X obviously / also deleted Spotify and removing my music from it. @bandcamp.com alllll the way. You can see my full discography here: larajones-saxophone.bandcamp.com

A shot from a rare solo set. A treat to play on a bill of three solo bass players, with radically different approaches. Music is the best.

Daily Tune #2717 - "Oracle of the Dead" colinwebster.bandcamp.com/track/oracle... Stian Larsen: guitar Colin Webster: alto saxophone Ruth Goller: bass Andrew Lisle: drums Relative Pitch Records

Anyone know what tape this is? Can’t find the box and it has no artist/title on it. Sort of guitar(?) Over modulated drones, it’s pretty good. Someone on here must know!

Next Don't Mind Control gig! 11th Feb at Centrala. Features a new collab I'm doing with Chicago composer Matthew Dotson, as well as sets from Steckdose and Cries from the LTN Super cheap advance tickets! You know where to be ;) wegottickets.com/event/645989

I've been working on this for a while and it's out today! Sloth Racket - Ten Years of Live Sloths: slothracket.bandcamp.com/album/ten-ye... Ten tracks, one from each year of the band's existence, recorded live around the UK (and briefly online) and lovingly excavated from the band's archives.

I loved their debut, but this second album from Breathing Heavy (Sam Andreae and @ciaranmackle.bsky.social ) really brings their interaction to a new level of frenzied cohesion... Live sax and reed samples tessellating like a flock of birds/hornets in the most bamboozlingly skronky way possible...😍

Finally got round to setting up an account here. Here's a drawing of a toad to celebrate!

I have a new release coming out this Friday. Organelles a collaboration with Matt Atkins where we imagine and perform the inner life of cells. It will be featured that evening on Late Junction too so you could take a listen there. flamingpines.bandcamp.com/album/organe...

The Oozel is a monthly mail art publication of drawing and writing! I send you an A3 double sided Risograph print while i try to work out how to make comix, poster & poems. You can subscribe at patreon.com/RobChurm Each issue will be in an edition of 100.

Saturday 8th February Sloth Racket, Benicio Del Trainwreck, Smirk, Dr. VZX MOIST at The Old Hairdressers!

seeing lots of people on here today complaining about MS Word's new AI feature and… you know Libreoffice is free, open source and has none of that bullshit, right?

exciting post! thrilled to receive this books featuring 3 of my little text scores, alongside absolute legends like annea lockwood, raven chacon, pamela z and maria chavez.

New music! The Weather Station, Songhoy Blues, Joe McPhee, Tom Ward & Adam Fairhall, Konrad Sprenger, Kele - anything else?

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

Out this week on Otoroku, we're delighted to present 'not bad', an intricate and intensely galvanizing release from Breathing Heavy, the saxophone and sampler duo of Sam Andreae and Ciaran Mackle! www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/breathi...

Looking forward to next week's Café OTO's surround sound concert, with a special program of music & 3 sets of immersive spatial listening www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/surro... If you'd like to hear some of Moshi Honen's music, it is now available on bandcamp moshihonen.bandcamp.com/music

I can also be found in the similar-but-different fediverse, at assemblag.es/@cathrobots

This feels very similar (obviously) to the old pre-2022 'bird site'! It's already nice to find people here who I've been disconnected from since leaving there. And as I still don't keep any social media apps installed on my phone, the desktop interface seems fine so far.

'Hello world'. Not sure how I'm going to use this yet, or how often, but hello nonetheless. To get in touch with me or find out about my work, head to my website: cathrobots.co.uk
