Thanks and ❤️ to @darkoutside.co.uk for keeping the faith and ushering in #DarkIsRisingDay with a mention of my album, while I was chucking stuff into boxes. If you're observing the yearly read-along, #TheDarkIsReading style, today is time for track 2. Cassette decks and record players at the ready!
Happy @handspan.bsky.social's "The Dark is Rising" Day.
If you have a copy of the TDO tape or the LP on @castlesinspace.bsky.social and a copy of the book by Susan Cooper, press play when ready

For anyone who is wondering why I was so quiet during #TheDarkIsRising day ( #midwinter i.e. yesterday), here's the current state of my studio. A house move is imminent, and I am spending all my time offline, juggling packing tape.
Belatedly, a very happy midwinter, old ones. ❄️

A new platform! A new profile! A new home! So... we switch it on, we wait 20 mins, and then we tune its oscillators, right? Then play some tunes for a few minutes, and then, um, tune the oscillators again? That's how tech works, right?
