‘The Animal Spirits’ by James Holden and the Animal Spirits released by Border Community in 2017. The album artwork features colourful ribbons hung on a tree branch in a dense green woodland.
Now playing; James Holden and the Animal Spirits.
Assuming this is deemed a debut album - the first collaborative album between Holden and the Animal Spirits - this’ll romp home in the #5DebutAlbums1519
Electronica infused spiritual jazz rooted in the soil of folklore. It’s a fucking belter.
Available to listen again: Jay from @yardact.bsky.social took to the decks for BBC Radio 6 Music's 'Artist In Residence' series and managed to squeeze @jamesholden.bsky.social 's '10101' into his After Dark Mix>>

+ nervously excited - i'll be playing some new music + some from scratch jams on the new version of benny.
tickets>> www.tivolivredenburg.nl/agenda/43076...
and of course my own software 'benny' (playbenny.com) is the ongoing fruit of a couple of decades thinking about how live you can possibly be with a computer. so i'm very grateful to tivoli vredenburg + @creativecoding.bsky.social for inviting me to play their algorave event this april
...refreshing after witnessing half a lifetime of music industry smoke and mirrors. all the uk algo events* i've been to have had the nicest vibe of all clubs, almost like disolving the audience-performer boundary changes everything.
*btw carpet shop ldn tonight
the live coding scene is 100% the thing that has made me most excited over the last couple of years: seeing people perform actually live music with computers, as free as jazz, freer, showing their screen, sharing what they're doing with an audience who understand what they're doing has felt so...
@bandcamp.com Hello Bandcamp. I've been reading about the new French small parcel tax (TPC): can you confirm if Bandcamp is IOSS registered in France, and will therefore be collecting the €2/item tax together with VAT through the usual IOSS account?
No live stream this morning, I've got to go somewhere for work.... BUT
SPECIAL GUEST MIX from the fantastic @data0 !
Very cool selection and there's even The Weather so you don't need to worry about being caught off guard out there.
