Silence is music.
There are different kinds of silences
In a lesser but not least important sense,
Silence is an integral part of all music

What a win for nature!
Scotland is the first UK country to have Swift bricks in law – a lifeline for this threatened bird. And, for the first time ever, the Scottish Government must set legally binding nature recovery targets.
Thanks for helping make history with a strong Natural Environment Bill.

I sent Graeme a fresh and fruity Astral Social Club choon for this yesterday. Flattered to have been asked, really happy to help in some small way.
The response to the compilation call out has been nothing short of incredible with so many artists i admire sending exclusive tracks to help support Boundaries & the Crowdfunding campaign. It truly feels like a community on the same wavelength coming together. Unreleased Arnold Dreyblatt anyone!?!
