listening to this lovely collection of recordings on @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social as I write the next MTN newsletter today - dustopianfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/in-arb...

Popped into the fantastic Saltways exhibition by Iain Davidson earlier today at Lion Salt Works, well worth a visit (the museum is great too!) #cheshiresalt #heritage #LionSaltWorks

Had a lovely morning getting to grips with the archives at @derbyshiredro.bsky.social with Animate Projects! I can see myself spending rather a lot of time there...

Went down a bit of a tithe map rabbit hole last night, looking into field and enclosure names is fascinating!

'Mechadream' from the ARC SEED original soundtrack 🤖 martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/arc-se... @massivegalaxy.bsky.social @kirokaze.bsky.social #gamemusic #indiegame #gamesoundtrack

Very excited to finally share the full original soundtrack for ARC SEED over on my Bandcamp - it's been a real pleasure to work on. Big thanks to @massivegalaxy.bsky.social and @kirokaze.bsky.social for the wonderful cover art! martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/arc-se...

Super excited for the full release of ARC SEED - I was lucky enough to have worked on the OST and sound design for this over the last couple of years and it's been an absolute pleasure!

I was quite tempted by the Zoom L6 when it was released, but now the L6 Max is here and my resolve is faltering! Great feature set for the price - zoomcorp.com/en/us/digita...

These look great! Lovely to see

One for #tumulusTuesday - this is Rolley Low near Longstone Moor in the Peak District, with a sheep for scale. Probable Bronze Age round barrow with the remains of a dry stone wall extending across it - @derbyshirearch.bsky.social

Nice little find yesterday! A 'lantern' slide of Warsop Old Hall.

Amongst a #NewAccession for George F. Kirk & Sons, builders of #Chesterfield, we found some lovely colour plans of Chesterfield Town Hall which was built in the 1930s. #history

Managed to sneak in a little amble (actually more like a scramble) on the way home yesterday to find this big #oldstone ... Those with an interest in local quarrying might be able to identify!

Spending some time this evening archiving digital copies of my little reference collection of books, journals and photographs etc, a rather satisfying way to spend an hour or two.

It's the last week to see our joint exhibition 'Scientific Rambles' at the Arc Centre in Stockport - our collaborative exploration of the Three Shires, their shared stories, the landscapes and ancient places that connect us to our past. Info here - arc-centre.org/exhibition-s...

One for #mapMonday that informed part of some recent research I carried out for an MTN article on the area around Lawrence Field in the Peak District, a fascinating site with lots going on.

Thoroughly enjoying this today... radiojuicy.bandcamp.com/album/liquid...

The next release in my MTN Survey Series is 'Long Low Research Reports' - out on September 22nd via megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com on cassette / digital download #soniclandscape #PeakDistrict #burialmound #barrows #tumulus #synthesis #Derbyshire #archaeology

Big skies on Big Moor today, had an extended ramble around and couldn't keep track of everything I stumbled across. Here's a guide stoop / marker stone and it is a good'un!

It's happening! Very excited to see ARC SEED's v1 release!

People don't often think about the industrial past of the #PeakDistrict, but there's a lot of it about. #IndustrialArchaeology #IndustrialHeritage

Thanks to everyone who has recently signed up to the MTN monthly newsletter, there are now nearly 90 of you! I hope you enjoyed this month's rambles 🪨

Something soothing to start the week... This is the original soundtrack I composed for LakeSide, a beautiful little town builder by @massivegalaxy.bsky.social with art by @kirokaze.bsky.social #indiegame #cosygame martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/lakesi...

Something for #mapMonday here... Love these old OS maps

The next monthly MTN mailout is coming soon, with news on the upcoming Survey Series 002 cassette, amongst other things. Head over here to sign up if you're into old stones, old maps and sonic meanderings - mailchi.mp/cd9f09388b7e...

Awesome sounds here from The Machine The Demon!

Some old building appreciation this evening... Grade II listed circa late 16th / early 17th century in need of some TLC

I know Teenage Engineering make some cool stuff, and no doubt this is well made, but still - £100 for a mini tripod?! www.andertons.co.uk/teenage-engi...

Excellent experimental sounds from The Woodwose here, and always nice to see more #floppydisk releases... gulikrecords.bandcamp.com/album/to-com...

Coffee in the garden with a headless duck (I think) - found during 'excavations' around 1994, and it's been with me ever since. Any carved stone animal experts here on Bluesky?!

Current state of the ARC SEED project file - all cues for gameplay, cutscenes and events in one place 🎹🤖 @massivegalaxy.bsky.social - check out the Early Access OST here - martynstonehouse.bandcamp.com/album/arc-se...

Went to see FOREST today at Nottingham Castle - definitely worth a nosey, lots of interesting pieces including an intriguing look at the Major Oak in Sherwood forest, measuring it's fundamental frequency!

A plan of the proposed branch from Cromford and High Peak Railway at Fernilee to Wormhill via Bradshaw and Barmoor Clough, 1829, which would have connected London and Manchester. #Railway200 #19thCentury #trains #history

A lovely little map legend this morning from the National Library of Scotland maps portal (a great combo with your morning coffee). This is for the 1inch map of Great Britain which you can find in full online here maps.nls.uk/view/239260573

I've just been alerted to a copy of #digitaldarkage for sale over on Discogs, it's always an odd feeling seeing your own releases being resold, but at least it might give someone new some joy, and probably a sense of impending digital doom... www.discogs.com/sell/item/17...

Great to see the ARC SEED booth! Hope everyone has fun playing 🤖

I know there's always been a bit of a 'grey area' around the use of uncleared samples in vaporwave, but this album has the most blatant use I've come across - check out track 10 as a good example, essentially the whole track pitched down a half step... corporateddreams.bandcamp.com/album/w-w-w-...

Nice find in the archives today, an 8mm reel labelled 1971 - looks like I need to get the player out now!

spectrogram of the day...

Has anyone ever seen anything like this on an old OS that isn't a church...? @chesterarchsoc.bsky.social this is on your patch near Knutsford

Had a trip over the 'border' to Cheshire today for a nosey at St John's near Knutsford - a quiet mid 1800s stone church (also known as Toft Church as it stands immediately opposite to the entrance of Toft Hall)

This popped up on my Bandcamp feed this morning and was exactly what I needed today - hisstology.bandcamp.com/album/acqua-...

Spotted this rather elaborate stone walling the other day and the lidar has some intriguing lumps and bumps too...

Archaeology’s blind spots          By Mary Beard www.the-tls.com/regular-feat...

'Aebstrakt Pt 1' was my first venture into live modular soundscapes, recorded with no overdubs in 1 take, with inspiration taken from a number of places including Ravenscar Radar Station (below) - listen here (also free to download) megalithictransportnetwork.bandcamp.com/album/aebstr...

The last of the MTN pin badges has been sent on its way with the remaining copy of Excavations On Harthill Moor, thanks to everyone that's picked up a copy!

I just realised that maybe it should be #tumulusTuesday ?

An absolute bargain here for fans of Derbyshire tumuli (and those just generally interested in fantastic narrative games!)
