Hello people new and old. We make pastoral electronica using field recordings, piano and guitar out of a cotton mill studio in Derbyshire. The shows we play sometimes involve turning sound into light.
Other interests include books, hills and mushrooms.

We went to the woods and asked a birch tree to join the band. We took tiny recordings of the sap flow, tapped it, thanked it, and drank the sap. Magic!

Hello. We're DJing at Psychic Dancehall, an experimental and electronica multi venue festival in Derby this Saturday.
We will probably play Aphex Twin and try our hardest not to play The Spice Girls but can't make any promises.
A few tickets left here at £30:

As a follow up to my post about the humongous lions mane mushroom. It is now entirely dehydrated, and I am about to perform a dual extraction to release compounds that will give my brain superpowers. The next record is gonna be synapsy 🍄

I've been spending time inside a sequencer that makes sounds fly around, and attempting to make order of the chaos. I've added a recording of some stuff rolling across a table. I'm not too enamoured with the piano, but it works! The machines are doing my bidding!

This account will get back to field recordings and micro-music soon, but I grew a humongous lions mane mushroom, and it felt like the kind of sidequest that you, the people, may be interested in. #shroomscrolling

I know a lot of people who didn't get on with this book, but I thought it was fantastic. Is there a genre name for books with no plot? I am all over that shit. #booksky

A bit gross, sorry. For the past 2 years I've been keeping a worm farm in the garden. I made a contact mic so we could hear their striations, but disappointingly the recording turned out a bit pants. Does anyone have any suggestions on cheap mic alternatives? I'd like to hear what they have to say!

Can anyone recommend some decent music documentaries? I'm thinking more experimental / neo-classical / jazz rather than lad rock stuff. There's a hole where traitors used to be and I'd like to fill it with GOOD. Thanks!

Yesterday, Gem found out that icicles sound like xylophones. I went back today to activate their tiny wooden sounds.
I then put the recording through an arpeggiator & added some grain delay. I'm really happy with the percussiveness of it all.
Hope you're all staying warm!

Having read most Murakami in my twenties and not rating his last one, I wondered whether I'd outgrown him, but this one is perfectly Murakami by numbers. It's everything I wanted it to be. Half expected to see a dead unicorn this morning.

I went out today with a little battery powered portable set up. I'm hoping to get out more this year and find some earthy textures to take back to the studio.
The music is made out of one small sample of kalimba, e-piano and a recording of a tin watering can.
Happy New Year!

Next year, I'll be making machines make microtonal sounds, mining for tiny sounds in the peak district & combining the two to make patterns to make you feel things. I don't really know what this means yet, but the Arts Council have given me the chance to find out & I'm grabbing it with both hands ❤️

I spent some time today making a decorative and functional curtain to hide unsightly gear accumulated across the years. Worried it's too much. My eyes.

I went to see a band this week who haven't played in 18 yrs. I loved them, and every person I know now, I can trace back to the community around that band. I can pinpoint the exact moment my life took a different course. The gig was great, but I'm nursing some unnameable feelings over here.

This is Alma. She couldn't care less about EQ but she does bring a certain softness to the studio.
