This weekend I shall be visiting the mighty Yeovil for a day and night of experimental sounds!
I have made some 3" CDr's featuring some new Soloman Tump sounds which I hope will find a new good home with likeminded individuals. Was fun getting back into making DIY merch again! Hope to do some more soon.
Solomon's Tump exists
Wow that month went quick. I think it was because the sun kinda came out again and it feels like proper summer.
And then I suddenly realised I needed to pull together a new radio with a couple of days notice,.. but luckily I have a ton of new music at my disposal from which to collate an hour of dismal sounds for you,.

02 Claude & Ola - uume - 22 uume 22
03 Juhyo - StaticSound Live - 03 Buka
04 Itching - Complexities - 03 regular dust
05 Stonecirclesampler - Pymthek Menhirs (C-15#01) - 01 Out at Sea

08 Plague Arish - What happened to the shorts weather- - 05 Sunscreen 5
09 Claude & Ola - uume - 05 uume 5

Maybe i'm getting lazy but i'm not gonna link all the individual tracks for you this time. I'm sure you know how to use a search engine. It's all out there!
This month, I was super glad to play the track by Territorial Gobbing called "This is how I win" which, in its full glory, its a monstrous 26 minutes of looping wooziness that takes you on a lethargic trip through a deserted town, 1970s Yorkshire. Or something like that. I call it a dismal masterpiece.
Other highlights this month are a couple of tracks from Uume by Claude & Ola, a wonderful already recently released by the Tone Burst tape label. Grade A improv sciffle.
Plague Arish provides a couple of short tracks that break from his usual long form ethos - keep up the great work!
Strange Devicers is a new project on Steep Gloss, probably one of my most frequently played labels on The Tump Clump, such is their excellence in curating experimental collaborations.
After featuring a track by Juhyo last month, I did a bit of digging and found a digital only EP by them featuring live "interlude" tracks. So happily I feature one of those tonight.
Seven.Seven hails from somewhere in Australia and I think I got hooked up with this release via checking out a tumblr link maybe? Remember Tumblr? Well, I always like digging in weird places for weird sounds and this one is good so yeah.
Also... Itching! I love this project. I seem to have amassed quite a few tapes and CDr's over the years without even realising I have an Itching collection. Great works, and all samples from the household cat mangled into noisy oblivion. Wonderful.
Last track to mention on tonight's show is by Stonecirclesampler, the kinda mysterious folk history project of ethereal electronic sounds. This comes courtesy of Human Geography Recordings and their new C15 series of tape releases. Keep an eye on that series for some great stuff still to come soon! Nudge nudge wink wink. Maybe.
Thanks again for Soundart Radio @ Dartington Hall for hosting me. I love it.
More come soon.
