Not only is it Bandcamp Friday, it is release day for Andrew Wasylyk's new album "Irreparable Parables" on which his lush instrumentals are augmented by vocals from six guest singers; another impeccable release from Clay Pipe Music
Bandcamp Friday today, so a little thread of retored/curated very old mostly cylinder recordings I've put up.
First, the king of the banjo (as a lead instrument) and Ragtime pioneer, Vess L. Ossman!

The start of Threads. A caption of Sheffield Saturday March 5th
Happy Threads Day to all who celebrate
Faithfull grows sombre when shown a clip of herself at 60 declaring that she loved being that age, feeling healthy and philosophical about things. βNow Iβm less philosophical. I hate whatβs happened to me. Covid did this.ββ

I was going to redo the Jen SX1000 i have in this as there are some scratchy distorted in a bad way pots on mine, but maybe i'll leave it there.
There's some falling downstairs perucssion in there too.
There will be some new music this year...honestly.
3/3
I just opened up an older laptop to look for something and found this in the recent file history. I have a fair amount of stuff from the pandemic and afterwards in various states of disrepair.
Another bit that accompanies the outro of this is actually quite sweet and needs some more work.
2/3
Maybe let this loose as a demo.

Cabinessence was the working title, can't be calling it that, Mike Love would be coming for some cash/flesh.....

THE YEAR OF THE DEIR:β¨A good friend of mine was born in 1976. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I have spent the last six months or so listening to 13,000+ songs/43+ days of music that was all released (or intended for release) in '76. I have been curating, mixing, and tweaking the best 13 days of those sounds across 21 unique mixtapes, and I will be releasing these mixes throughout 2026 in her honour. Hippy bopday, DeirDre!
Links to all of the 1976 'Year of the Deir' mixes can be found here: linktr.ee/alanranta

Salix is up for pre-order today! I sat down with @thequietus.com for a potted history about how I ended up making up electronic music from a cottage in Suffolk πβ¨π«
That's Great! As you say there's lots being done. The fruit market part of town wasn't really a focal point until relatively recently. Glad you enjoyed and hopefully you'll be back.

In 1978 Michael Powell and John Laurie returned to Foula, the island where they filmed "The Edge of the World" forty years previously. It's a beautiful documentary - one of my favourites - and you can watch it for free via BFI Player here. player.bfi.org.uk/free/film/wa...
