BBC Radio 6 Music Jarvis Cocker Now Playing Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra The Hounds are Running

... and ‘You Are On The Right Track’ - Danalogue ‘Mood Swing’ - Risa T ‘Night Signal from Sector Five’ - Scanner ‘dawn chorus’ - Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra ‘The Nightcrawler’ - The Earl Of Dean Plus ‘Moonbuilding Exclusive Live Set’ - Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan 2/2

I’m still falling down this rabbit hole, #folklorethursday I think these kids have made a great album to journey into “Gabble ratchets (or Gabriel hounds) are ghostly, phantom hounds from English folklore that fly through the night sky, bringing misfortune or death to those who hear them”

I think I'm just going to listen to this on repeat all day. thequietus.com/quietus-revi...

BBC Radio 3 Unclassified Now Playing Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra The Hounds are Running

Todmorden’s experimental children’s orchestra returns with a warped concept album about a pack of hellhounds terrorising the uncanny valleys of West Yorkshire Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra - Gabble Ratchets buff.ly/2VX1LFY

Fully down the press wormhole tryna do it on my own. Any blogs/radio shows/cool writers that may be into our new record? Make yrselves known and I’ll fire it over! #noiselife

PPYO time!

I made a sign… #standingstonesunday

Especially for #standingstonesunday I compiled a big playlist of all the Stone Report films to date. Death to AI prehistory content. #prehistory #megalithic #megalith #standingstone #neolithic #bronzeage #stonecircle #stonehenge #archaeology #folklore #shortfilm #blackandwhite

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Orkney #Prehistory

I’ve been making Stone Report films for a few years. There are two 7 episode seasons and series 3 has just begun. In these days of horrible AI generated history content it’d be great if people could check out, like and share these AI free, fully human made films. (And they’re only 2 or 3 mins long)

I am THRILLED to announce that BBC Radio 3 have let me make 5 whole episodes w the incredibly talented producer Becky on prehistoric instruments. They are ‘sound illustrated’ contemplations, so they are wild and personal as well as archaeological. And I get to open with my amazing uncle singing :)

Seems today is a good day to release Stone Report S3 E1… #tombtuesday #prehistory #megalithic #megalith #standingstone #neolithic #bronzeage #stonecircle #stonehenge #archaeology #herefordshire #kingarthur #folklore youtu.be/GCZ1ZhRHkMY?...

Including the premier of S3 E1 of Stone Report!

Thank you Jarvis Cocker for playing the PPYO on BBC 6 Music!

The new Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra album is out today! It’s performed by 7-10 year olds and traces the journey of Todmorden’s Gabble Ratchets. Weird, atmospheric drones, drums and piano. Www.forged-river.com #folklore #childrensmusic #teachingmusic #ks2music #todmorden #calderdale

The Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra made a video for the piece ‘the hounds are running’ from their album ‘gabble ratchets’. You can watch it here: youtu.be/QwFlxvljjHc?...

The PPYO speak!

PPYO on the Radi-o… thank you!

Almost all of these listens were on my paper round in 1988-89 when it was the only tape that lived in my Walkman. (My friend Tim filled the tape with the first half of an INXS album that I never listened to).

The gabble ratchets CDs have arrived and they look great! It’s also a bit scary because the PPYO isn’t funded or paid for by the kids who attend, so we need to sell a few! Hope you can check it out! spaceship.bandcamp.com/album/gabble... (Reposts etc also really appreciated!)

Really like the McQuarrie stormtroopers in Maul:Shadow Lord.

Listening to the new Paul McCartney album (The Boys of Dungeon Lane)? Want a book to go with it? One that doesn’t focus on the 60s and 70s for a change? It’s got some good bits if I do say so myself!👇👍✌️❤️🎶 @reaktionbooks.bsky.social

The new Primitive Percussion Youth Orchestra album is available to preorder today, with a couple of tracks to listen to in advance. spaceship.bandcamp.com/album/gabble...

Increasing my vocabulary by reading children’s books from the 1950s. Bet that doesn’t happen with D*v*d W*ll*ams. Thank you, Rosemary Sutcliff for respecting your audience.

I’m really proud of this album that the kids I work with made. #folklore #folktales #childrensmusic #experimentalmusic

Don’t think I have many: The Stooges (Iggy, Ron, Scott) Soundgarden New Order (all four of them. Fucking terrible) Slayer (og line up)

Excited for this in a few weeks time… #ppyo #primitivepercussionyouthorchestra #gabbleratchets #folklore

Stop! It is necessary for you to see graphic designer extraordinaire Margaret Calvert’s 90th birthday cake. Perfection.

It’s Bandcamp Friday, where Bandcamp don’t take a cut and artists get all the revenue. Still got a few of these left if you’re into some heavy heavy trad doom folk… spaceship.bandcamp.com/album/black-...

The Giant’s Grave, Kirkstanton, Cumbria. For some reason today is the first time I’ve been here, despite being in the area plenty of times… #standingstonesunday

Realised it’s ten years since I released this. It was the first time I’d tried recording music in the field and the first time I’d got artwork from @maximpetergriff.bsky.social . Also featuring the fiddle of @schoolofnoise.bsky.social founder Dan Mayfield and mastered by Jacob Mayfield.

I’m no expert in Roman and post-Roman history, but I thought I was reasonably well read. However, I’ve just discovered in @profaliceroberts.bsky.social Domination book that there was a tribe of Barbarians called the Alans. Alans. I look differently now at all the Alans I have known.
