Beautiful words from @philipsherburne.bsky.social about @jo-johnson.bsky.social’s album Alterations Volume One and @chloeharris.bsky.social’s album on @quietdetails.bsky.social in his thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive blog Futurism Restated 🙏🙏

ST01 – Alterations Volume One by me @jo-johnson.bsky.social – is shipping now. CD orders have been great, thank you! Four batches have been sent already and I think we have two more batches to do before we've caught up.

Thanks for all the digi album support, too!

I'm so excited to share the next releases with you. I'm absolutely honoured that the artists involved are up for working with me.

It'll be a real moment to see their spines lined up together, like a little library. Another big thank you to @plant43.bsky.social for the 👌 design.

When looking for a name for this label I kept coming back to this image. I like the idea that the artists that will appear on Silver Threads connect with each other and the listeners across space and time in meaningful ways.

That's why the stitch motif will appear on every spine.

Why Silver Threads? Silver Threads was the last track on my album Weaving, which @chloeharris.bsky.social @furtherrecords.com invited me (@jo-johnson.bsky.social) to make. That album came out in 2014 and I wrote about it for @marcissist.bsky.social blog, The Out Door, back then 🧵 ...

Thank you for all the support for Jo Johnson's Alterations Volume One album so far. We had the best launch/listening party on Tuesday.

Big thanks to @chloeharris.bsky.social, @quietdetails.bsky.social and @dj-surgeon.bandcamp.com for the kind words and support. 🙏

You can find out more about the Alterations project, listen to the album and support here. Huge thank you to the subscribers and writers who gave Jo's Alterations project their support.

The booklet gathers some snippets of writing from The Pattern, a PDF booklet Jo shared with subscribers each month, along with Alterations Remnants tracks (collected on CD2) with "notes from my journal, reflections on contemporary politics, technical notes and my own learning from the project."

The CD has been beautifully designed by @plant43.bsky.social, featuring Jo's artwork. This is the look for our label – the front is a playful take on the commodification of music. A stitch motif encircles the release and will connect future Silver Threads releases together across spines.

Alterations Volume One follows hot on the heels of Jo's @quietdetails.bsky.social album, Escape Now. It compiles all 12 tracks, 107 mins, from Jo's slow album project.

The album has been mastered by @quietdetails.bsky.social with Alex's usual intense care and attention. He's helped in many ways! 💖

Alterations Volume One by @jo-johnson.bsky.social is on pre-order now and out on 9th September. It's the first release on Silver Threads, Jo's label.

The album compiles 12 tracks, 107 mins, on two glass-mastered CDs and comes with an eight-page booklet.
