The Tump Clump #44 - 27/03/2025

Edition 44 of my little radio show, huzzah.

And still slightly suffering with weird spring flu / sinusitis / melancholy, but hey, Spring is kinda here and we can all breath a sigh of relief and go outside, touch some grass, hug a tree, smile at the sun a bit.

This time around I had the honour of playing the following things, which you can search for and find online at the your repository (mostly bandcamp I guess...)

Although if you are lucky you might be able to find a cassette tape at your local record store still? Who knows! Please support the artists played in tonights show, buy their stuff, listen/stream and share the knowledge around if you enjoy what you hear.  Because that after all is the point.

New recording: Live Ritual

A live recording from home. No editing.  Some clipping.  Some big feedback.  All part of the natural order of things.  Free to you as a gift, or pay something if you wish to support my project.  But listening is the best support you can give - and feedback is always welcome especially the noisy kind.

Affirmation of the process.

Photo taken on holiday in Hope Cove, Devon, June 2009, ages before we decided to move down here.

This is a work in progress towarsd other things - a proof of concept and snapshot in time. 

From this, some things will be kept, others replaced and the cycle will continue....

Recording made possible by having a "weekend at home by myself" and a trip to Ashburton to visit the wonderful FIELD SYSTEM.  You should go if you are in the area, a very inspiring shop! 

https://fieldsystem.co.uk/  

And this is a milestone of sorts, so thank you to everyone who has streamed my sounds via bandcamp, and to everyone else who purchased something along the way.  It is encouraging getting people purchasing my sounds still, and it really does give me inertia towards carrying on this little endeavour.....

The Tump Clump #43 - 27/02/2025

 

Hello once again t-rave-llers,

Another 4 weeks has passed and another Tump Clump is committed to the airwaves via SounDART radio. 

For this show I offer you the following sounds, a few Tump Clump regulars once again bring some great new sounds - Disgusting Cathedral who appeared on the very first Tump Clump back in 2021 for example, oh and regular Ekoplekz who ive most likely played more of than anyone else.  And I don't even get commission :)

Included in this show tonight is a 10 minute snippet of a live recording of Soloman Tump sounds, created in preparation for the Acid Morris Wassail that happened last month but unfortunately not a gig I was able to attend and perform at.  So this is perhaps a taster of what was missed.  You may or may not think this was a good thing after listening!

Disgusting Cathedral - Inarticulate Warlock (Moths Drink the Tears of Sleeping Birds)

Mademoiselle Marchand - Architecture V (Inner Demon Records)

Nichole & Paul Pichon - A fine (Craft Crates)

bigroadbreaker - Dome (Disterplication - Collected Works Volume 2 (1997-2000))

Chelidon Frame - Nvs_k3 (Framework)

Soloman Tump - Live session preparing for the Acid Morris 24hr Wassail

Ekoplekz - Luminate Verzion (Live In The Eko Chamber)

Basic House - AR II (Oats) - Opal Tapes

False Maria - Why Would I Follow That (Letting Go)

German Army - German Army - Valley Maidu (Biloxi)

Edit.... oops sorry, wrote this a couple of weeks back and forgot to hit "submit"! D'oh

 

ANTISOCIAL MEDIA

Some here may follow my Instagram page @instrusivesignals but following the recent inauguration of the US President and his shmoozing with the tech overlords and their disgusting behaviour towards ordinary humans, I have decided to finally cut my ties with the company known as Meta.  Division and hatred towards different facets of humanity is allowed to thrive in these places and I can no longer be a part of it.

Therefore you won't find any new content from me on there.  

Which is a real pity because I had quite a lot of connections with people from all over the world, and many great conversations with artists and musicians from all walks of life. 

The page is still live and available to see - I've just logged out and purposefully didn't make a note of my password.  Interesting to note that my old page @solomantump is also still alive even though i've not logged into that for years now.  Maybe one day they will be nuked from orbit.

So for now, you can just find me here on this blog.  And on my bandcamp page - 

https://solomantump.bandcamp.com/

Maybe I'll reappear somewhere else online at some point, but for now I've not missed the general toxicity associated with social media.  I will aim to update this blog a few times a month with photos, music updates and of course tracklists from The Tump Clump radio show.

Please feel free to contact me here! Or email intrusivesignals @ gmail dot com

10 Sebastian Tomb - Dare (Indifferent To Your Plights)

11 Plague Arish & Soloman Tump - This is what I then did to it 3 years later (Unreleased)

This time I include a track of my own paying tribute to David Lynch who passed away last week.  Director, Artist, Musician, Dreamer.  Not many days go by when I don't think about some of his work - be it Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, his music, the soundtracks to his work, endlessly entertaining and thought provoking.  I knew he will ill and it was only going to be a matter of time, but this still hit me hard.  I was also a fan of his version of Dune, as I watched it not long after reading through the books in secondary school. 

Lynch took his dreams and made them real through his work.  A true visionary who inspired me to do the same, in my own little way.  

I also mentioned in the show that I was unable to make the Acid Morris Wassail gig a few weeks back - I saw a few photos on Instagram which made it look like it was a great party.  Hope I can attend another of their events at some point.

Also, Tump Clump (long edition) never happened in January as I had some family issues to deal with.  Hopefully it sees the light of day sometime in the future as I enjoyed being able to incorporate some longer tracks and different themes into the special show.

So, a strange start to 2025.  Hopefully February will be a bit more predictable!
