Watched Chungking Express again recently - love that film. Must re-watch this soon...

One of the nice guys is David - contributed pedal steel to Gamine's second album, and live when we supported #Sparks during their marathon of shows at the Carling Academy in 2008. Haven't heard this yet, but I expect it'll be fab!

New! Album! Teaser! Alert! Soon...

Les Rita Mitsouko - C'est comme ça (Clip Officiel) YouTube video by Les Rita Mitsouko

Yeah, love it, and hadn't seen the video before! The A-side, C'est Comme Ça, was always the track to play, for me, before going out partying back in the day - still my favourite. (And hadn't seen this video before, either!) Like a French T-Rex! (Tony Visconti's influence?)

And if you haven't seen the video for After We're Gone, you should!

Flyer for Hackney Wick Electronic Music Open Mic (EMOM)

Going to do a little #synth and #taishogoto set at Hackney Wick #EMOM tonight at LVLS. Do come! From 7pm and it's free...

Given that it's well nigh impossible to actually turn music into a viable career these days, we might as well go down this route. At least then we'll have the freedom to produce music which excites us and which we're proud of.

Lack of grit, physicality, speed, fitness, proactivity, excitement - all the basics that Klopp insisted upon.

Yup.

If you still use Spotify, here’s a thread which might help you find some good options to switch to (unless, of course, you like AI music, you want to kill off the music industry, and you think investment in AI drone warfare is groovy)…

Great to be included on this, and great to catch up at the Dublin Castle #EMOM in Camden last night! #synthsky #electronica

I was wondering what all that enigmatic so-called "news" was, as until 3 days ago I had never heard of the bloke. I guess the BBC will put a gagging order on the details, and stop playing Devo...

Streamlining! I have an SSL desk out of shot...

And there was me thinking it was ready for release...

Yes, the studio is fine, but, as you can see from previous posts, it has changed!

Oui, mais pourquoi vous n'exploitez plus visiblement le coté créatif et les possibilités artistiques? Je n'ai vu que les videos techniques de réparation / unmixing etc mais pas de videos innovateurs. Spectralayers a tant de possibilités - il faut nous aider à les explorer!

It's #WorldTheatreDay!
We 've composed music for theatre for many plays. Among them are Lysistrata, Antigone & Macbeth. Most of the compositions are not accessible for listening; there've been discussions in the past about releasing some of these works. Would you be interested?

Yes.

No. 17: Get a big dog and be a better person... Be careful my pretty readers for age creeps up on one, bringing with it rigidness, boundaries, fear and confinement. Before you know it you may have constructed a little fortress for yourself that nob...

Next up from the Claudia's Column archives on the #Gamine site is an essay on the advantages of having a big dog, as those of you with big dogs must surely know...

If you've never read Ballard, you should. Not sci-fi as such, but worlds imagined or re-imagined...

Music for the displaced from Tunefork Studios and Beirut Synthesizer Center - CDM Create Digital Music In Lebanon, over one million people, about a fifth of the population, have now been forcibly displaced by Israel. From inside the country and uniting an artist community around the world, Tunefork Stu...

Spread the word. Our friends from Beirut Synthesizer Center and Tunefork Studios are joining urgent fundraising efforts with extraordinary music from Lebanese artists and around the world.

What this is, why it matters, what to do (plus a handy QR code you can print to share this IRL).

I just get 1 minute of Ligeti...

This is a fun collection of free iPad apps. Who doesn't love messing about with IRCAM stuff? I have Steinberg's Spectralayers, which has similar capabilities, but they don't seem to have realised this and I haven't seen any videos using it for creative exploration, so IRCAM it is. Vive la France!

Recording studio interior highlighting new desktop. Blond wood. Accidentally quite Scandinavian.

Recording studio interior highlighting new desktop. Same as previous pic but with a couple of synthesisers on it.

A much needed #studio revamp. Found the wood - I'm no carpenter but it works for me! Also found the really nice cupboard at the end a couple of days ago which complements the desktop nicely, and gives me extra storage. Total cost? About £6 - for the wheels and wood oil!

Another one from the early days of Beautiful Pea Green Boat, you'll need a Sequential Circuits Pro One next to complete the collection! I loved this synth, so easy to use... I'm just about to release some BPGB related instrumental archive material done on the SH-101 in 1986. Lovely analogue sounds!

Excellent!

Stammerwort CD and packaging, the new album by Claudia Barton.

Look what just turned up from Ireland! A beautifully packaged copy of 'Stammerwort', the new album by @claudiabarton.bsky.social that's what! I suggest you all buy one before she runs out!

I've just seen it so I guess I'll have to sort it out at some point, but for the moment they haven't said they are withdrawing the Paypal route.

Haven't tried it yet as they still pay me through Paypal.

This is great - have a listen!
