This time last year I was out and about on #GardomsEdge here in the #PeakDistrict carrying out my first enthusiasts field survey - since then I've learnt so much about this wonderful location and continue to discover more. You can find the first part of my survey here - buymeacoffee.com/supportMTN

Always nice opening up a project file from 5 years ago and everything still works as it should... Not such a common occurrence these days!

New track 'Roots, Bones & Disorder' is a collaboration between Stuart Chalmers and Grey Frequency, featured on the Resonant Landscapes 10 EP. Stream and download here: stuartchalmers.bandcamp.com/album/resona...

I've been enjoying working on some transcription for the first #oralhistory interview I carried out recently - it's been a great process and such a pleasure being able to capture a recording of someone's story, and preserve that memory for the future.

Had a great afternoon with Create Sheffield and @sheffieldtheatres.bsky.social - wonderful to hear such passionate folks sharing their stories and insights.

Spotted above a door on a house in Sheffield - appropriate for my morning so far

hopefully aging gracefully like their composer

Something for #mapMonday (as usual thanks to @natlibscot.bsky.social maps online) A fave spot and one that has provided plenty of inspiration here at 'Wingfield Manor' surveyed in 1898 - the farm is still currently in use, converted from existing estate buildings...

I'm glad to have rediscovered our local lending library but I over estimated how quickly I could get through a book, and how many I should borrow at any one time... Current debt £1.20

Here's a clip of 'Waters Edge' I composed for the full soundtrack to LakeSide by @massivegalaxy.bsky.social (art by @kirokaze.bsky.social) listen to the full OST here - martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/lakesi... #indiegame #gamesoundtrack #gamemusic

For this week’s offering for #StandingStoneSunday here’s one of Hayman Rooke’s sketches of 9 Stone Close on Harthill Moor in the Peak District. #Derbyshire

I've been collecting photos and drawings of #ArborLow over the past few years - this photo was included in the 'Ramblers Handbook' from 1928 and was taken by A. Holt. @derbyshirearch.bsky.social #stonecircle #PeakDistrict #oldstones

A little update on the ongoing digs in #Chesterfield at the moment - www.bbc.com/news/article... #archaeology #Derbyshire @derbyshirearch.bsky.social

I've been indulging in some eerie late 1970s television lately, in particular I've been enjoying 'Leap In The Dark' which ran for four seasons starting in 1973. 'Come And Find Me' from Series 4 is a real gem, with some stone tape theory and voice phenomena thrown in for good measure...

Stumbled across #FlixtonHouse and walled garden today... Built c1800 originally as part of a farm, lots of nice bits and bobs in and around! My fave is definitely the base of this sundial(?)... #tempusfugit

Amazing show tonight from MINIMA performing their live score to Nosferatu!

Back in 2023 I recorded a long-form electronic piece inspired by the writings of #PeterBander and #KonstantinRaudive on the theory of #VoicePhenomena - 'A Question Of Belief' is free to download this weekend for #Samhain - enjoy! megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com/track/a-ques...

Not happy about this outcome but also hardly surprised... 😞 completemusicupdate.com/universal-ha...

Been having a nosey at Holywell Cross church recently (I used to go there as a young'un as part of a music project) Looks like there was a school on Devonshire Street first, then the church was either added or replaced it in around 1881... #localhistory #Chesterfield

I wish my desk looked like that computer terminal bottom left !

We went to Haddon Hall recently for their new exhibition 'Magic' which is well worth a trip - I've had an apotropaic nosey around there before but this one was new to me! Faintly carved into the inner arch of the main entrance way...

One for #standingstoneSunday - though doubtfully prehistoric, it's still always good to see a big old stone sticking out of the ground! This one is north of the A54 on the road to Congleton.

Today marks a year since the release of my alternative score to #TheStoneTape - published by Human Geography Recordings. human-geography-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/tasker...

Had a brief wander around the ruin of Matlock Moor Farm earlier, lots of lumps and bumps around plus planting etc - I bet there would be plenty to find here.

A little throwback to a Scientific Rambles outing earlier this year in #EngineVein mine at Alderley Edge - I recorded various spaces as we explored and I'm in the process of formatting these for something new... #industrialheritage #mining #Cheshire

Lidar of the week! Never checked in on this one before... Can't miss it though!

New MIDI keys for desk based noodling came this weekend, I've always been a fan of Akai's MPK series and the new mkIV has a lot going for it.

Sneak peek at this months MTN mailout... Subscribe here... mailchi.mp/cd9f09388b7e...

Lovely find!

Here's Astra Protocol 2 running on an "ideal" setup CRT monitor ✔️ Chunky Macro keyboard ✔️ Logging to dot matrix printer ✔️ Physical user manual ✔️ The only thing missing is running off of a floppy disk 💾 (the game still fits on one) Do you have an ideal setup? #retro #cassettefuturism #spacesim

are there any brick experts here on Bluesky... asking for a friend (not really!) Maybe you know someone @derbyshirearch.bsky.social ? Please repost!

A bit of Autumn appreciation at @nationaltrust.org.uk's Hardwick Hall, always a pleasure meandering around the gardens here

The 'Digital Flowers Of Doe Lea' is a commission piece I worked on for Bolsover District Council - based on the Dancing Flowers Of Doe Lea sculpture created by Tonkin Liu. The full interactive piece will be available online soon. #digitalart #interactiveart #soundscape #DoeLea

I wonder if anyone still has their 'Derbyshire Egg Station' uniform?!

Out of focus, motion-blurred. #super8

I've been checking backups of my previous projects archive recently and finding a few unfinished ideas... here's a little video I made when my album 'CLARA' was released... best on headphones!

thank you to everyone who's picked up a copy of 'Long Low Research Reports' over on Bandcamp! If you're fond of the #PeakDistrict, old #barrows and #tumuli and like to indulge in some sonic landscapes this might be for you - megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com/album/long-l...

Another track here from the #ARCSEED OST I composed for @massivegalaxy.bsky.social - this is A:Frame Pt 2 🤖🎧 martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/arc-se... #gamemusic #indiegame

Some strong vibes coming from the building next to our hotel in Manchester this weekend...

It's been well over a year now since I recorded this C15 edition for Human Geography Recordings, not sure where that time has gone! If you've never been to #SuttonScarsdale here in Derbyshire, I'd definitely recommend a visit... human-geography-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/sutton...

My #SCIENTIFICRAMBLES prints are now available to purchase via my Bandcamp page - this is a limited series, including 10 of each print. High quality archival gicleé art prints on textured deckled edge stock - megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com/merch/scient...

it's #BandcampFriday folks! Go and support your favourite artists and the music they make! bandcamp.com/discover

On #PhotoFriday we visit Ripley in 1932 when you might have been surprised to see the Loch Ness monster taking a stroll along Cromford Road. But don’t worry, this magnificent beast was taking part in Ripley Carnival and definitely friendly! #EYAMonsters #1930s

some fantastic stuff here... daily.bandcamp.com/tape-label-r...

Always nice to see a bit of original road / path surface hiding underneath the tarmac, some fairly chunky stones there!

Had a fantastic time rambling with my fellow Scientific Ramblers out at Foxlow Edge yesterday, the resident menhir is quite a character too!

Drove past this lovely old marker stone (guidestoop?) earlier and had to stop for a nosey - standing at the cross roads between Jaggers Lane and Wirestone Lane on Middle Moor nr Matlock. #derbyshirehistory #PeakDistrict #oldstone

Archaeology as cubism. Rather than a Miro or a Braque, this is actually a drone shot of 1870s brick clamps in Mickleover, excavated by Wessex Archaeology in 2021. Short-lived structures churning out bricks for the Great Northern Railway as construction moved through. #Derbyshire #archaeology

Last few copies of Survey Series 002 remaining over on Bandcamp, thanks to everyone who's picked one up! megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com/album/long-l... #megalithic #soniclandscape #ambient #archaeology #PeakDistrict #Derbyshire #cassette
