Someone (in UK) asked me the other day if there are actual cities in Australia and I can confirm there are.

Hey friends. For my next Margate Radio shows I’m planning two mixes: 1. Australian artists, 2. UK artists. If you make ambient/experimental/modern classical please send me links. Or just recommend some below? 👇

Evidence of my former life as a Jedi. A Star Wars Episode II commemorative book (thank you for the Xmas gift @dantombs.bsky.social) and some call sheets from the shoot, in the year 2000.

UK record labels. Do you tick Gift or Commercial Sample or Sale of Goods when posting to the US? Or will it get pulverised at customs either way?

What are some great electronic records with choir or vocal manipulation. Not necessarily solo singer/songwriter, but interesting use of voice samples etc or ‘voice as instrument’. One rule: no autotune as an effect

if your music isn’t unlistenable, I don’t want to hear it.

We just announced our first Salmon Universe release for 2025 and it’s a cracker. Excited to have these fantastic musicians on the label, plus it’s our first ever ensemble release. Listen on link below 💿

Sunny day ☀️ ✅ Trip to the tip 🚙 ✅ Autechre’s Draft 7:30 💿 ✅

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? That Spotify makes fake artist playlists and has completely gutted the music industry.

Pretty excited to play at Margate Arts Club for Margate Electronics tomorrow (Fri June 13) Supporting Y Bül Bül and Sculpture www.outsavvy.com/event/26885/...

Scoring music for factual entertainment: acoustic guitar, shaker, pizzicato strings and the truth

So how are we all doing in the £22-including-postage-for-an-ambient-cassette era?

Kobo or Kindle?

Went into the Australian High Commission last night and had a great chat with some industry professionals 💅 🇦🇺

Anyone here use Pro Tools with video? Have you found it’s gone way downhill? Constant errors, rainbow wheels and crashes, and waiting for the ‘video engine’ to update? Any video/music gurus here who can help?

I have an involuntary physical reaction if someone describes a piece of music as ‘delicious’.

Had a dream last night I went to the mixdown of a TV show I’m scoring and the engineer had mixed all my instruments in surround and it sounded so clear and vivid in the dream. Back to stereo (reality) today.

Bob Dylan’s Instagram may be the best thing on the internet right now www.instagram.com/reel/DHJb117...

Just because it’s such a lovely day out there

Favourite piece of music (for today) michaelgordonmusic.bandcamp.com/album/8

Nice 👌

I can’t find it but there was a German experimental album made of reverbs only and it was great. I think about it often and need to hear it again. Made recently. Any ideas let me know.

Today I met a white squirrel. I choose to take this as a good omen.

It’s release day of my record with friend Adam Coney ‘Driftingland: For Guitar & Piano, Vol. I’ Please listen and share where you can. Maybe even purchase it. trestlerec.bandcamp.com/album/drifti... Keep supporting and protecting music made by humans
