Whilst updating my website I just came across this joyful piece of press in the NME from December 1994, with a report on my Electronic Lounge night at the ICA - what an adventure!

scanner.bandcamp.com/album/festiv... @scannerdot.com has a new Festive mix out. 😊 🎄

An album that is guaranteed to clear the room and make you smile, finally out on CD 😀

Wishing you all a Christmas filled with warmth, kindness, and just the right amount of mischief. Thank you for being the kind of friends who make the year brighter, funnier, and far more bearable than it has any right to be.

My gentle thoughts about the passing of Ken Downie of @theblackdog.bsky.social , and how our early interactions on Bulletin Boards were so inspiring @igloomag.bsky.social igloomag.com/newswire/rem...

Farewell to magical Thailand, and what a week it's been, from incredible temples with one of the largest reclining Buddha's in the world to history in every inch of the land. Incredible food, and kind smiling people. Plus terrible flu and a stupid accident with intense police accompaniment.

“Get a massage in Thailand, Robin, it’s the best” Me: arrgghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

12 years ago today and what an event this was. So proud to have had the chance to curate this special dark night at the BFI London

Farewell to photographer Martin Parr (1952-2025), whose colourful images captured British life in the most playful and magical way.

Kind words from a fellow with fine listening tastes 😊

Looking backwards and forwards, 2025 into 2026 - my latest newsletter for your entertainment and illumination open.substack.com/pub/robinrim...

Happy 45th birthday. Vini Reilly’s 1980 masterpiece still feels like a quiet revolution. It’s music that rewires your pulse, erases the edges of the room, and still sounds as though it arrived from a slightly more beautiful parallel world.

Gareth Davis & Scanner with a beautiful review in the new @thewiremagazine.bsky.social Check it out! And of course find the album on our website. gareth-davis.bandcamp.com/album/songli... @scannerdot.com

My final EU show of the year takes place on Monday 1st December in Milan, as part of the Inner Spaces series of events. The performance takes place in the outstanding Auditorium San Fedele, right in the centre of the city www.innerspaces.it/programme/20...

Keeping the Aphex Twin Headz happy - Mr RD James just shared two unreleased works for free download. soundcloud.com/user18081971...

A lovely celebration of the late great Ivor Cutler over at @thequietus.com I still remember laughing so much at performances of his with his very dry humour. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

I just added the interview I recently made for the Music Concrete Reddit group to my website, with accompanying photographs. It's arguably the most thoughtful interview I've made in 32+ years of work, so hope you will enjoy reading it. scannerdot.com/concrete-res...

A beautiful review for the new album Songlines by Gareth Davis & Scanner over at Luminous Dash luminousdash.be/internationa... @scannerdot.com @luminousdashmusic.bsky.social

We need more inventive triple bills like these. I remember attending so many of these shows at the ICA London for less than £5.00!

Superb performance from Tortoise at The Barbican today. I wish there were more afternoon gigs like this!

Such a joyful and positive show from Cabaret Voltaire at the ICA London last night. And amazing to see so many friends in the crowd ❤️

Such a joy to have a private tour of the new Wes Anderson exhibition at @designmuseum.bsky.social with Simon Weisse whose team is responsible for building the props and models since The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

Exploring Amsterdam with my fellow sonic explorer Stephen Vitiello

Farewell to the lovely and inspiring Steve Kurtz (1958 - 2025) who was an American artist and co-founder of the art collective Critical Art Ensemble

Delighted to have a chat with the legendary Martyn Ware for his Soundpower Podcast. We chatted about recording cities instead of photographing them, my permanent installation in a Paris morgue and much more. Tune in here on Youtube youtu.be/PuYNBmSYUhw?...

First place I could be found in Berlin - the dreamy world of Buchhandlung Walther König!!

A little experiment, sharing my monthly newsletter, sent out for the past 26+ years, every month on the first of the month. Just to see if there's also an audience on Substack. robinrimbaud.substack.com/p/111025-fro...

Thrilled to present a new performance work based on the world of Allen Ginsberg in Berlin this coming Saturday 8 November. Tickets are free too. www.poetrepublik.com/event/speech...

Yorgos Lanthimos is wired for discomfort again, with a wonderful tale of a conspiracy obsessed beekeeper and the madness that follows.

Sunday afternoon listening on Quadrant Park, a new label from @frozenreeds.com - with algorithmic music that seems to constantly internally collapse from SDEM @5d3m.bsky.social

The extraordinary space I get to perform in tonight at OGR Turin, to launch the opening of "Electric Dreams: Art & Technology Before the Internet." Now, look into my eyes, not around my eyes, into my eyes...

Good morning Turin! It’s good to see you again!

I've had a number of people ask me about the making of my new album, "Forces, Reactions, Deflections" on @quietdetails.bsky.social so here's an extended interview with lots of intriguing photographs scannerdot.com/forces-react...

A date for your diary - an absolute honour to support the Cabs in Norwich on Saturday 21st February 2026 at Synth East @electronicsound.bsky.social @norwichartscentre.bsky.social norwichartscentre.co.uk/event/synth-...

An ideal album for napping then, with a way to wake you up when necessary too 😄

Farewell to the electronic genius Dave Ball (1959-2025) whose pop music with Soft Cell defined an era, and launched alt dance with The Grid. His Strict Tempo (1983) solo album remains an all time fave of mine too.

Very excited about this London show for 2026

Who else remembers the 'future' of technology, where you would call the operator and leave a telephone number or a coded message (helpful suggestions from Mercury at the time included 1664 - fancy a beer? and 69 for a hot date!!). Amazing!

Thanks to @electronicsound.bsky.social for this beautiful 7" single from Brian Eno ❤️

Berlin folks - don't delay - tickets are free for this very special event. I'm performing live on 8 November, premiering a new work based on the poetry of Allen Ginsberg. Tickets are extremely limited though! www.poetrepublik.com/event/speech...

A midweek distraction for you, well, for only 3 minutes, but it's a little cover of a charming song by British singer-songwriter Nick Drake, using only instruments from @soniccouture.bsky.social youtu.be/OQrZmHxUP1Q
