The Tump Clump Episode 14

 Hello friends.

This is the last Tump Clump show for a while, as SoundArt hand over the reigns to RadioArtZone for their 100 day artist takeover for the summer.  Each chosen artist gets 22 hours to fill with their own sounds which are then broadcast through community radio stations across Europe.

So some personal challenges mean this break in broadcasting has probably come at a good time.  Means I can concentrate on some other things for a few months.  I have a split release in the works with an emerging noise artist called Distraxi which I am very excited about, and I have prepared a remix of a Klaus Von Mork track for the forthcoming Front & Follow compilation (also Megaheadphoneboy has remixed some Soloman Tump material for that too). 

Ahh and I've also submitted a short track to a forthcoming Moon Musiq compilation too about bugs. Scuttly!

Tump Clump #14

First broadcast 31st May 2022 on SoundArt Radio 105.2fm / online 

1. BLACKCLOUDSUMMONER - A Positive Affirmation (from "There" via FoulPrey)

The tape is sold out but you can still grab the digital at the above link.  9 quality harsh noise / outsider trax expertly mastered for maximum impact by Foul Prey. All profits go to Dorset Mind, the mental health support charity. DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN 'THERE', HELPED SOMEONE THROUGH 'THERE', ARE 'THERE' OR NEVER CAME BACK FROM 'THERE'.

2. Rovox 625 - Coralina Rainbox ("Cut Into" via Steep Gloss)

A stunning tape release through the ever reliable Steep Gloss label.  A collaboration of Clive Henry and Culver, providing over an hour of dismal drones that has fast become one of my favourite releases of the year so far.  Again, it looks like the tape has gone, but the digital can be heard.

3. Hendekagon - Doors of Deception ("NO MORE WAR PIGS" via Industrial Coast)

This charitable tape release from Industrial Coast is still available, but the digital will set you back a pretty penny! Raising funds for the vital World Central Kitchen Ukraine Appeal. 

4. Pepper Jean - What A Day! ("A Very Friendly Tribute to Throbbing Gristle" via Moon Musiq)

Happy to hear a new compilation from Moon Musiq, this time paying homage to industrial originators Throbbing Gristle. And it is a great compilation given how iconic the subject matter is.  What A Day! is my personal favourite TG track and this cover does a great job.  Proceeds from sales are once again supporting the GEMS charity.

5. Farmer Glitch - UHF-DR1 ("NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET" via Music is Murder)

6. Antisocial Services - Yeah, I'm Not That Bothered ("NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET" via Music Is Murder)

A couple of offerings from Music Is Murder out of Exeter, with a packed 17-track tape compilation which was released after the NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET week (cos if we kill the planet, there will be no sound).  I hope to check out the next event in Exeter coming up in June I believe.

7. Soloman Tump - Black Ash Slug (Unreleased / demo)

Recent recording from me, might still tweak it before it's called done.  I have been experimenting with a new home-built loop pedal purchased from METSAAN of Finland (who produces as Coldsore previously featured on this show).  The pedal is based on a Subspace Transmission, which has a lo-fi looping record function, fuzz, pitch and blend.  Exciting times, noisy, slightly unpredictable and exactly what I needed to give me some new ideas. 

8. Pigswill - Lyre Liar ("A Very Friendly Tribute to Throbbing Gristle" via Moon Musiq)

9. Panagiotis Mina - πληγή χωρίς δειλινό ("NO MORE WAR PIGS" via Industrial Coast)

10. Viimeinen - Unsustainable Distance ("There" by FoulPrey)

11. Soloman Tump - Jam Loop Noodle Nothing (Unreleased / demo)

I am currently taking a little break from Instagram (again), so will post a few updates here as things happen.  Why not go outside, enjoy the summer, make friends, do nice things.  

See you soon.
