@haikusalut.bsky.social have been regular guests on our different London stages for over a decade. It’s hard to think of another set of musicians who share the sensibility and ambitions we try to bring to each edition of Daylight Music. buytickets.at/arcticcircle...

Enchanting evening with @haikusalut.bsky.social & Meg Morley at the launch of their new album.

Big thank you to @moonbuilding.bsky.social for making our new song 'What About Tomorrow?' track of the week! "swirling appeggios" and "a wonderful repeating, Reich-like piano riff from Meg."

I'm 30 seconds into listening to a preview of this album and it's already very WOW.

We're doing a listening party and Q and A to celebrate our rich and soulful and mildly complex new record. 7th March in our home town of Wirksworth, Derbyshire. Tickets free. Wine also free. Booking required. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/haiku-salu...

Pleased to announce our new album 'The Lost Score' in collaboration with classical jazz pianist Meg Morley. Releasing on red vinyl via Lo Recordings (Aphex Twin / Susumu Yokota) on March 27th in reverse board sleeve designed by Non Format. Pre-order: lorecordings.bandcamp.com/album/the-lo...

We have some news next week. News of this calibre has not been seen since the year two thousand and twenty one. Here's Gem in a graveyard sending out a silent and obtuse message into the void. ☠️

This is our first announced show of the year with @haikusalut.bsky.social, Meg Morley on Saturday 28 March in St John's Leytonstone. All the usual details. Midday to 2pm. PWYC entry (children free). Music, tea & cake in a welcoming space. An event for all ages. buytickets.at/arcticcircle...

A New Year and a new event. We wanted to throw some positive musical energy into the universe to mark the beginning of 2026. We are very excited to welcome the ensemble @haikusalut.bsky.social back with a debut appearance from Meg Morley on 28.03 in Leytonstone. www.tickettailor.com/events/arcti...

Happy New Year lovely people! Super happy to announce an afternoon show at St Johns Leytonstone on 28th March. Meg Morley will be performing solo contemporary jazz. We're doing a show. We will also join forces & play a handful of songs together. Book your pew here: buytickets.at/arcticcircle...

Now I can't say too much, but this has only been announced for three little hours, and I'm reliably informed that tickets are proverbially flying. My closest advisories have also told me who else is to be announced, and it is *legendary* Early birds are here: www.ticketsource.co.uk/psychic-danc...

Bluesky! We're back! And very happy to say we’re performing in Birmingham in May as part of The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music. An all-seated afternoon show. Support from the wonderful The Silver Field. Only 100 capacity.

We went to the woods and asked a birch tree to join the band. We took tiny recordings of the sap flow, tapped it, thanked it, and drank the sap. Magic!

Thank you to Psychic Dancehall festival for letting us pretend to be cool for an hour 😎

Hello. We're DJing at Psychic Dancehall, an experimental and electronica multi venue festival in Derby this Saturday. We will probably play Aphex Twin and try our hardest not to play The Spice Girls but can't make any promises. A few tickets left here at £30: www.psychicdancehallfest.com

Happy International Women's Day everyone! Thank you to our best gal YAY MARIA for helping us smash the patriarchy ✊️ Never give up the fight! youtu.be/52tKWTDLwUA

As a follow up to my post about the humongous lions mane mushroom. It is now entirely dehydrated, and I am about to perform a dual extraction to release compounds that will give my brain superpowers. The next record is gonna be synapsy 🍄

I've been spending time inside a sequencer that makes sounds fly around, and attempting to make order of the chaos. I've added a recording of some stuff rolling across a table. I'm not too enamoured with the piano, but it works! The machines are doing my bidding! youtu.be/CF2iFzPZyhU?...

This account will get back to field recordings and micro-music soon, but I grew a humongous lions mane mushroom, and it felt like the kind of sidequest that you, the people, may be interested in. #shroomscrolling

I know a lot of people who didn't get on with this book, but I thought it was fantastic. Is there a genre name for books with no plot? I am all over that shit. #booksky

A bit gross, sorry. For the past 2 years I've been keeping a worm farm in the garden. I made a contact mic so we could hear their striations, but disappointingly the recording turned out a bit pants. Does anyone have any suggestions on cheap mic alternatives? I'd like to hear what they have to say!

Can anyone recommend some decent music documentaries? I'm thinking more experimental / neo-classical / jazz rather than lad rock stuff. There's a hole where traitors used to be and I'd like to fill it with GOOD. Thanks!

Yesterday, Gem found out that icicles sound like xylophones. I went back today to activate their tiny wooden sounds. I then put the recording through an arpeggiator & added some grain delay. I'm really happy with the percussiveness of it all. Hope you're all staying warm! youtu.be/_BhT8R5VeOM?...

Having read most Murakami in my twenties and not rating his last one, I wondered whether I'd outgrown him, but this one is perfectly Murakami by numbers. It's everything I wanted it to be. Half expected to see a dead unicorn this morning.

I went out today with a little battery powered portable set up. I'm hoping to get out more this year and find some earthy textures to take back to the studio. The music is made out of one small sample of kalimba, e-piano and a recording of a tin watering can. Happy New Year! Sophie

Next year, I'll be making machines make microtonal sounds, mining for tiny sounds in the peak district & combining the two to make patterns to make you feel things. I don't really know what this means yet, but the Arts Council have given me the chance to find out & I'm grabbing it with both hands ❤️

I spent some time today making a decorative and functional curtain to hide unsightly gear accumulated across the years. Worried it's too much. My eyes.

I went to see a band this week who haven't played in 18 yrs. I loved them, and every person I know now, I can trace back to the community around that band. I can pinpoint the exact moment my life took a different course. The gig was great, but I'm nursing some unnameable feelings over here.

I work in a bookshop sometimes. This our new music section. Some bangers in there! If you're looking for recommendations "Ocean of Sound (ambient sound and radical listening in the age of communication) by David Toop is great. Please send me yours.

Hello people new and old. We make pastoral electronica using field recordings, piano and guitar out of a cotton mill studio in Derbyshire. The shows we play sometimes involve turning sound into light. Other interests include books, hills and mushrooms. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSmh...

This is Alma. She couldn't care less about EQ but she does bring a certain softness to the studio.

Hey Bluesky it’s Daylight Music Saturday in Leytonstone (a few stops from Liverpool Street on the red line). It would be lovely to see you and you and you!

Looks like this thing has turned into a snow appreciation account, sorry.

Any book/music crossover types on here? Very happy with this ltd edition hardback of one of my favourite books. Look at that marbling! Nicely done @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social x

Further proof we may have found a half decent place...

The hills are breaking hearts this morning!

Been clearing out some old boxes of papers and found this in an old school exercise book from when I was twelve. We clearly hadn’t had the rules explained to us very well but how bonkers all these years later to present #DesertIslandDiscs! Back to the island soon, w some incredible new castaways ❤️🏝️

Right, intro over. Now let's block the far right and the fascists! bsky.app/profile/shin...
