We spent the afternoon at John Ruskin's house at Coniston - the wonderful Brantwood. Ruskin's desire for fairness in society seems particularly apt at the moment since we are rolling back a lot of the changes he advocated for but never saw in his lifetime. Also thinking about his sometimes fragile mental health and his drive to explore the world. A fascinating man (and one no doubt with many flaws...

Thinking about memory and identity and how as we get older we start to "haunt" ourselves

They say in the village that in the blazing heat of summer, under the fire of the midday sun, they hold dances on the neatly manicured lawns of the "big house". The guests, who are never seen to arrive or leave, dressed in sumptuous finery. The music wild & intoxicating.

This is the only known recording of Mrs Ethel Cartwright performing on what the unknown recordist dubbed the “Ethelphone” in their notes. Said notes describe the Ethelphone as being “an unholy collection of fragments of household cleaning implements played by Mrs Cartwright with far more enthusiasm than skill through an ancient reel to reel tape recorder powered by a car battery” Cartwright and he...

Utterly different from the last couple of things I posted of course.... I was experimenting with my digitakt and the modular which is at the core of this.

Making this rather than doing any of the things I'm meant to be doing......

Sequencers & synths with U-He Hive

thinking about "stuff" :-) & still 'mining' the field recordings I made on in hospital too. also getting my music making setup up and running again having moved house.
