Music is a huge part of my life so it’s almost certain that this category will have a lot of stuff in it.

Laurel Halo at Field Day

Posted by on in Events, Festivals, Music

I’ve only recently started to listening to her material, and it is very good, although there isn’t too much of it around. I believe there’s an album coming out this year. Anyway, she was really good, I liked the set and it seemed to get a good response from the audience too.

Punchdrunk track: WT – A child no more

Posted by on in Mobile Applications, Music

This is a track made in Bhajis Loops as part of a collection of 60 tracks that was to called ‘Punch Drunk’. I’m still working on getting the whole thing finished, but I thought that I’d share some of the tracks to see if anyone has any views on them.

The original plan was that there would be 60 tracks each of 60 seconds long, which explains why this track is only a minute long!

Paul’s Shruthi-1

A really nice example of the Mutable Instruments Shruthi-1 in steam punk style. Sounds awesome too!

I posted this over at Palm Sounds as well this morning, but I wanted to put it here as well.

Listening to Grimes, Visions

Posted by on in Festivals, Music

I heard Grimes at Field Day yesterday, and hadn’t heard her / them before, so I thought I’d find something on Spotify and give it a listen. So far I really quite like the sound, but I think I’ll need to listen to more to develop a better view.

Bill Nelson, Duplex

Posted by on in Listening, Music

I’ve been after the CD version of this for ages now. It wasn’t cheap as it is relatively rare, but it was worth it for a couple of tracks that are not available anywhere else.

Looking forward to Field Day

Posted by on in Events, Music

I’m off to the Field Day festival for the day on Saturday. Most of all I’m looking forward to seeing Fennesz and Laurel Halo, but I’m also quite open to whatever else I might hear. It’s quite nice to go along to events like this one and just seeing some new music and having a nice day out.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
