Thanks so much to @thewiremagazine.bsky.social & Claire Biddles for the lovely review of Counterflows Festival this year 🥂✨ Here's the first bit of it: read the full thing in the current issue!

"It's a festival that understands that the self-seriousness and solemnity that so often fill the world are irrelevant – it’s the giddy opportunity of the unknown that defines it..." @counterflows.bsky.social review:

Thanks to @theskinnymag.bsky.social for this glowing review of Counterflows Festival last weekend. www.theskinny.co.uk/music/live-m...

Another belter @counterflows.bsky.social, fave moments were screw-facing at The Handover, a man in a cardigan shrieking John fuckin Wall, Ash Reid’s lament for the taste of British Apples, Yan Jun’s duets with baby / hoverfly / chiff-chaff and Amina Claudine Myers blowing the cobwebs off that organ

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us under the Glasgow sun's warm glow for 4 days of music, discussion, hanging out and partying 🥰 This was one of our favourite editions of the festival yet. Pictures courtesy of Brian Hartley. Plenty more to come! BIG LOVE X

Pleased to announce that you (probably) won't get too soggy moving between each venue at Counterflows this year 😎

Great finish to the event last night from Chuquimamani-Condori! Thanks to all who attended or watched online, and also to the entire Arika and Counterflows teams. See event page for Bandcamp links to all the artists performing: counterflows.com/event/arika-...

The most sophisticated synthetic music around is made by a Syrian Communist living in Berlin, who is perhaps better thought of as a fiction writer. Rashad Becker writes narratives and then sonifies them into non-linear compositions that unpick causality in music. Live streaming now at arika.org.uk
