My first full-length album, #HomeSounds, is in the @hartshornmusic.bsky.social sale. The few remaining CDs are just £2. I made the LP wanting to evoke how I felt listening to ‘Music for Stowaways’ by #BEF, on a #Walkman - albeit with my vocals and so it’s very much a #lofi travelogue. #synthsky

It’s one year since the release of #HomeSounds. From #FredDibnah to #DaphneOram, Belgian beaches to a platform at (Edinburgh) #Waverley station and all manner of diy #synth prodding, it was great fun to make. Thanks to all who have listened to it :-) voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/album/home-s...

Whilst I work on some new material (currently monosynth dominated, and with me “singing out” a bit more (rather than intoning)), 2024’s #HomeSounds is part of this sale! A travelogue that one purchaser said was a good accompaniment to making a butternut squash risotto… #lofi #synthsky #homecooking

Find of the day is this post from @danthompson33.bsky.social re a 1990 #JonathanMeades film. Coincidentally, track 9 on #HomeSounds (The First Funicular Of The Day) is set in Hastings and mentions #bohemia in its lyric! There’s an unintentional #walkstationtostation song link in Meades’ script too…

#VoltagePoetryProjectAtoZ (W): Waverley. My song ‘The Sight of Your Smile’ (standout track on #HomeSounds according to @revivalsynth.bsky.social!) starts with the narrator recalling being at Waverley Station, some years back, awaiting the Glasgow push-pull… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinbur...

#VoltagePoetryProjectAtoZ (R): @revivalsynth.bsky.social Promoting & encouraging makers of electronic music on a range of platforms. Very nice things said about my song ‘The Ballad Of Françoise & Anatole’ and a phenomenal review of #HomeSounds are just two examples :-) linktr.ee/revivalsynth

#VoltagePoetryProjectAtoZ (O): Oostende. ‘Oostende 80’ is a song of humanity and hope. I wrote it as part of the 1st #albumwritingclub challenge; rerecorded for #HomeSounds. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/oosten...

Thank you for sharing this Annika. It’s really nice to see #HomeSounds alongside two albums made in very different musical styles too - and I’m going to investigate the work of @michaelmunnik.bsky.social based on what I’ve just read about his lyrics!

It was a huge thrill to have #HomeSounds released through @hartshornmusic.bsky.social this year. A travelogue with a #portastudio feel. Some tales from it will feature in a #VoltagePoetryProjectAtoZ thread during January… #lofi #synthsky

Yesterday, out of the blue, I had a message from someone enjoying listening to my album #HomeSounds whilst they sat in the #Perpignan sunshine! This brings me to raise a Sunday glass to two of the key web-based supporters of the album - @revivalsynth.bsky.social & @showhomebrew.bsky.social :-)

The ‘Once Stowaways’ maxi-single in on #Bandcamp via @hartshornmusic.bsky.social. Includes a new mix of that, an early version of another #HomeSounds song (‘The Sight Of Your Smile’) and sprightly number titled ‘These Northern Cities.’

New maxi-single to be released, via @hartshornmusic.bsky.social, this Friday. It includes a remix of ‘Once Stowaways’, demo of another #HomeSounds track and an uptempo song (referencing #JamesBolam & #ThomasBouch, with a bit of “soft-synth” #tb303 squelch too), not available anywhere else :-)

Following some #StormBert clear-up (the falling of a fence and associated foliage), a little work on my first recordings since completion of #HomeSounds happened this afternoon. The “certain city inspired” song is now ready for its vocal and I remixed one of the album tracks too :-)

Following #HomeSounds being the featured album on @showhomebrew.bsky.social @madwaspradio.bsky.social this month (with “riffs you’ll be humming for a long time to come” apparently!) a little bit more promo comes courtesy of this pack from @hartshornmusic.bsky.social :-) Some fine further acts on it!

Started recording a song I wrote a while ago today. 1 It is the first thing I’ve recorded since completing #HomeSounds, in early September. 2 It is the first piece to involve my new (to me - second-hand!) UnoSynth. 3 It’s set in a city in northern England that’s had a pull on me since childhood :-)

Spent today at work with French & English landscape bodies on a #geopark project (legacy from a former #EU #Interreg partnership) and wondering now if any of the #HomeSounds songs with a Euroland-tinge may feature on @showhomebrew.bsky.social this eve. Only a listen will reveal! #electronicmusic

#HomeSounds is the featured album for the November edition of @showhomebrew.bsky.social (debuting on @madwaspradio.bsky.social this coming Wednesday.) I’ve no idea which tracks have been selected so will need to listen in order to discover :-)

#HomeSounds songs (9): ‘The First Funicular Of The Day.’ A song covering people making nice assumptions about each other, based on first impressions. Based on real events in Hastings and reflected on whilst riding the West Hill Lift there. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/the-fi...

#HomeSounds songs (6): ‘Cardboard Coliseums.’ A song querying why humanity tends to build grand buildings to celebrate things that make us seem small, and rudimentary ones for when we come together for mass enjoyment. Features a chip-tune riff too! voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/cardbo...

#HomeSounds songs (5): ‘Oostende 80.’ A song about adventure, freedom of movement and looking after each other. It started with a homemade drum-loop (bashed in on a midi keyboard!) and an accordion patch… voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/oosten...

#HomeSounds songs (4): ‘Tracey, Ben, Alison & Vince.’ A song about the luxury of finding music that resonates. In this case #EverythingButTheGirl & #Yazoo, and there are geographical dimensions as well as musical treasures. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/tracey...

There’s a lovely intro on changes London’s cityscape has seen (this century) in the latest #raggedoptimist blog from @danthompson33.bsky.social. The line on lack of space for bohemias reminded me that the one referred to on my album (more shameless #HomeSounds promo!) is in Hastings…

#HomeSounds songs (3): ‘Once Stowaways.’ A song about coming together over an album - in this case the CD release of the formerly cassette-only ‘Music for Stowaways’ by #BEF. A scene in #AnEnglishmanAbroad helped inspire it too. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/once-s...

#HomeSounds songs (2): ‘Honour.’ A song about things we do to celebrate human ingenuity. “The Fred Dibnah tribute act” was a group of folk displaying (proudly) a restored traction engine. Monosynths and an arpeggiator dominate the music of this one. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/honour

#HomeSounds songs (1): ‘Who Expected Alexanderplatz?’ A song about nice surprises. The “pantheon in béton brut” is a bookshop. Musically it veers towards ‘The Organist Entertains’ territory, though I had fun creating the bass drone part on my DX11. voltagepoetryproject.bandcamp.com/track/who-ex...

Part of the sleeve and compact disc version of Voltage Poetry Project’s ‘Home Sounds’ album, with a road atlas page showing roads around De Panne in Belgium. The album sleeve shows a black and white photo of a hand on part of a piano, forming an 7th chord, surrounded by a pink border.
#HomeSounds was released a fortnight ago. Reviews so far include “reminiscent of confiding in a close friend while lounging under starlit skies” & “went remarkably well with my butternut squash risotto.” Over the coming days I will introduce each song here, with a #BlueSky slant…
