The Tump Clump #60 - 18/06/2026 [5th Birthday Show]

Thanks for checking out my blog, and also maybe you are interested in the tracklisting for my radio show, The Tump Clump, which reached episode 60 and its 5th Birthday.  Its also the last show in the current format. For now.  Something else may come in the future, but I felt it a good time to end on a high whilst I still have energy, and put my efforts into something new.

 

Here is the waveform for the show.  Thought you might like to see it.  Spot the harsh noise.   

 

I've had fun times in this dismal swamp!

I recorded one show from some woods up on Dartmoor.

Another show featured my live set from the Acid Morris party in Dartingotn.

I had a show full of exclusive tracks from favourite artists and pals.

I finally got around to doing an extended Christmas special after threatening it for the past 3 years.

So here be the tracklist for the finale.  A few familiar names to pay homage to the artists and labels I've discovered along the way, and also some new faces because that is exactly how it should be.  Lots of people I couldn't fit in that I wanted to, because there is always so much great sounds out there being created for you us to discover. 

Maybe you are reading this and fancy putting your own show together in the vein of The Tump Clump. or something of your own DNA? Give it a go!

Thank you to every artist and label who has featured on the show since it begun.  Its been a real journey over these 5 years, which began shortly after I moved to Devon and got in touch with SoundArt about possibly starting a show.  Its been an absolute pleasure of audio discovery and I hope for more in the future!
 
I will continue to update this blog with news on Soloman Tump's whereabouts, so its not a full abandonment.  :)

The Tump Clump #59 - 21/05/2026

**Edit**


Well it seems I wrote this but forgot to publish it.  Sorry!

 

Episode 59 of the Tump Clump comes hurtling at you like a wet sock from the basement.

Tonight I announced that this is the penultimate edition of the radio show in its current format.... time for me to try something different.  I have come to the realisation that I'm just not listening to, creating, or enjoying as much dismal  / noisy / droney sounds as I once was... and I feel a slight disconnect from the music I am playing.

 

Here is a newt I found under a slab in my garden 

 

Perhaps because I've spent a lot of time listening to my former love of house/techno/electronica, and rekindling my passion for DJing.  So, coming soon to SoundArt radio, a new show from me, playing deep house / leftfield tech house / some outsider electronica... but all mixed from vinyl.  Some of you may enjoy that! Some maybe not.  But keeping true to myself, I feel its where I want to explore next. So keep an ear out for 'Dartmoog' coming soon. 

So I may return to the Tump Clump in the future.  And as for Soloman Tump... I still have some unfinished sounds I am working on.  Its certainly not the end for that little project.  

Here is tonights tracklisting.  Everything can be found on Bandcamp if you do a little search.  This months 'Noise Compilation of the Month' comes from Pukehammer Records who were having some issues with censorship on Bandcamp.  Booo.  They were looking at alternative hosting platforms when I last searched - I hope they find a new home.  They will soon release a follow up compilation which will hopefully feature a brand new Soloman Tump track.  Good luck in your quest!

I hope you enjoy the show.....

01 Lucidet - They Were Nameless (Noise for Dreamers) - Self Released
02 pestzone - we won't need eyes to see (third containment) - Inner Demon Records 
03 CHEFKIRK - things inside of other things (humor, aggression, and fear) - Self Released
04 Concrete Colored Paint - Dead Trees Standing Still  (And Now Here) - nostalgie de la boue
05 Shaun Robert - elaborations (Self Released)

NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONTH! 'Ecstatic Feedback' from Pukehammer Records
06 Super Heroes Club - Toy (Ecstatic Feedback) - Pukehammer Records 
07 RACP - MT004 (Ecstatic Feedback) - Pukehammer Records

09 Chelidon Frame - Cosmic Hypnosis (Framework) - Self Released
10 Dis och Dimma - Blott ormen funnit frid  ( I din tystnads lugn) - Mima Kass

 

 Thank you for listening and hope to have your company again next month for the 5th birthday show

ЯUMHUM : MUHMUR

My internet friends over at Blacksmith Noise Records have released ЯUMHUM, and you can stream / download / purchase / acquire / listen to it here!

 ЯUMHUM includes a slightly edited version of my live recorded on the Muhmur Radio shows back in 2025 (and I do mean slightly... just a little trim of the phat at the start and the finish, plus some light EQ fairy magic dust....otherwise, kept completely as it was broadcast).

The release also includes ones of the practice sessions performed at home whilst I figured out what I was going to be doing on the show.  The alt session shares some DNA, whilst other bits are markedly different.  Take a listen and see what you think? 

Original post for the recording / show can be found here... 

Tracklist:




1. ЯUMHUM 26:38
    
    
    
2. MUHMUR 27:03 



 


 Thank you to Saint Elisabeth and Séraphitüs-Séraphîta for hosting my sounds on their excellent and expansive Blacksmith Noise Records label, and best of luck with the fundraiser for their new van.  Perhaps by purchasing this release (or any of the others on the label!) you can help them out too. :)

The Tump Clump #58 - 23/04/2026

It definitely feels like spring now.  The Oak tree at the end of the garden is starting to turn green, and there have been some newt sightings in the Tump family pond....

So now, a clutch of apologies.  

1) Gravelly voice - plague acquired from kids. Thanks!

2) Pronounciation of various artist and track names once again. I shall never learn!

3) The inclusion of the Tump Wassail broadcast that was originally aired on SoundArt back in January when the Acid Morris took over the Things Happen Here venue for a night of rave and electronic fun. 

A nice little collection of noises for you this month, starting off with recent new fun favourite cornish semiconductor corporation... I hope I can hear some more new sounds from this project soon! If you like the track, its available for free download at their bandcamp, so go seek it out.


The Dis och Dimma track is from the momumental Svartfåglar compilation that I recently purchased from Mima Kass - hours of lavish noise and live recordings in a truly dismal style. 

Hope you enjoy this little collection as we steamroll towards episode 60... am thinking I might do something different for that.  And also, it crossed my mind, maybe it will be the last of The Tump Clump in its current format.  Perhaps a break to try something different?


01 cornish semiconductor corporation - from a forgotten lode (east wheal maid chalcopyrite trio)

02 Cumsleg Borenail - Dream Grunge (Wrapped In A Carpet And Kicked To Death)

03 Dis och Dimma - Gässen flyr hösten (Svartfåglar)

04 Kirril - 09-25 - 12-25 - 03 III

05 Worm Monolith - Fugue State - 02 Cave Dweller

06 Séraphitüs-Séraphîta + anna bortionist - numinous tapes IV - 02 lacunae - anna bortionist

07 Séraphitüs-Séraphîta + anna bortionist - numinous tapes IV - 03 peccávimus - Séraphitüs-Séraphîta

08 Soloman Tump - Live @ Do You Wassail? <SoundArt original Broadcast 17.01.26>

The Tump Clump #57 - 26/03/2026

O to the M to the G!

Throught darkness and filth I totally forgot to update the blog with the tracklist and stuff for the March Tump Clump! Thanks to the 2 people who nudged / reminded me. It proves that people do actually listen and are interested in the music that I play...

I recorded fresh after visiting SoundArt studios for the Water Is The Sun Ritual Fever album tour.  A fantastic evening, which started off with Exeter's own Al Fresco Skronk Squadron.  The sound built from a few sources, played out through various battery powered speakers that were subtly moved and adjusted across the performance to give your ears something fresh every now and then... samples looped and layered (including an electric toothbrush head) made for an interesting evening indeed!


Water Is The Sun are an exciting duo combining vintage tape manipulation, synths, samples and a ritual visual element. I was captivated by their performance as it ebbed and flowed through gentle strange passages and noisier energetic moments.  The Higher Close studios where SoundArt is based is also a great space for a performance, so check it out if you are in the area. 



So here was the last selection:

01 Hideous Gomphidius - The Stench of a Foul Stinkhorn (Apparitions of the Sporeborn) - s/r

02 Nomad Tree - Enter the dark of Caverns (with Lee Riley) (Shadow Dance) - Aphelion Editions 

03 Riders - Slow Horses (She Is Not Alone) - Eustress Tapes

04 Stephen Bishop - Grave Stele (Jerusalem Artichokes) - Opal Tapes

05 BLACKSMITH - Smithy (Blacksmith Shop in Burlington, N.D., 1880) - Destroy All Music

06 Carnivorous Plants - Phantoms (Copper) (And From That Moment Hell Entered My Heart)

07 German Army - Kaieteur Mist (Pyura Chilensis)

08 raxil4 - t (covet- 6 pieces for sampler, synth + reverb)

09 Hoodrat Messiah - Perennial - 01 Foxglove

10 aLICE kEMP - 9 Dreams In Erotic Mourning - 08 The Painting In The Chapel Under The Stairs

11 Edward - Voices of Spirits (March 2026 demo)

          12  Soloman Tump - Random Loop for HW#7 


Big up the expertly lit merch table that looked far too tempting, and im glad I purchased a bundle of tapes (including the Ritual Fever album, recommended!).  Until next time,....
