The Tump Clump #55 - 29/01/2026

Hello and welcome to 2026 at The Tump Clump.  Episode 55! 

Tonight as I sit and write this up, its proper wet and windy outside as Storm Ingrid lashes at us and deals some pretty brutal damage,  So soon after Storm Goretti too! Luckily was pretty calm last weekend when the AppleKore Do You Wassail? event took place at Things Happen Here Dartington - much fun! More on that in another post when I have gathered my thoughts into one place. 

So to brighten the mood and raise the spirits, I present an hour of dismal noise/drone/electronics to blast any remaining dust badgers away, and wassail in some good feels with sound. 

On tonights show I offer up...

• rikardfvs - do what ever filth shall be the whole of the Law (ALLISON KOWTOW) - BLACKSMITH NOISE RECORDS
• Alta Silvae - Time (John 11-35) - BLACKSMITH NOISE RECORDS
• Hiraeth - cycle (the beginning) (PMS) - s/r
• Omniwhore - Visos durys atlapos!  Sanity Frontier (La Grande Phantasia Asociale) - Mima Kass
• luxul - Rat (Materialisations) - s/r
• Dogstare - I'm Not Malfunctioning... You Are (Waes Hael) - MIGHTY FORCE
• Substak - Saturated Broadcast (V.A. - (703) My Studio Compilation) - Petroglyph Music
• Noise Cluster - my studio (V.A. - (703) My Studio Compilation) - Petroglyph Music
• METGUMBNERBONE - CORPSE CANDLES (THE MORDEN TOWER CONJURATIONS) - s/r

And it all went by ever so quickly, couldnt fit everything in possibly because I waffled on a bit more than I usually do.  Well that just means there is a bit more for next time.

A pleasure to still be able to bring this show to you - please look up and support the artists featured and please send me a hi if you enjoy listening to the show.  Thanks as ever to SoundArt Radio for hosting the show and allowing a platform for all these outsider sounds. 

The Tump Clump #54 - 25/12/2025

In the spirit of the season of giving, I present to you a 2 hour "festive" edition of The Tump Clump.

No gimmicks, no extra special treats, just 2 hours of dismal sounds to assist with powering us through the dark months and the silly season.

The elves and piskies at SoundArt Radio saw it fit to first broadcast the show on Christmas Day nonetheless, and as per usual you can now find it archived on Mixcloud here. 

So as I say, nothing particularly Christmassy, just a chance to dig a little deeper in the vaults and pick out a few slightly longer tracks than usual, and maybe play a few bits from my favourite releases and artists of 2025 and the past few years, 

A nice offering of the usual blend of drone, noise, experimental electronics and anything else that takes my fancy.  Don't expect any nice twinkling melodies or catchy tunes here im afraid.

The Tump Clump #54 - 25/12/25

Metgumbnerbone - Hoblin's Ebe (Anthropoligical Field Recordings For The Dispossessed) - Café Europa 2020.

LORN - MAROONED (Vessel LP), Self Released 2015.

Hoodrah Messiah - Smooth Sailing Divorce Radio, (Split w/ The Owl), Outsider Industries 2025.

    NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONTH (Part 1, and not really a compilation, but feels like it given     its HUGE) - a 4-way Split from Distraxi, Monika Badly, Romxn, Noise {Hz}.  Over 100 minutes of searing noises and pain and doomy harshness.  Frequent listeners of the show will know im a big fan of these artists as well as the Eggy Tapes project so this had to feature....

Distraxi - Hicksite Waiting Outdoors (4-way split ) - Eggy Tapes 2025.

Monika Badly - The Forest At Night (4-way split) - Eggy Tapes 2025.

Sebastian Tomb - Bangles (Homicide Costume), Self Released 2025.

LEE RILEY - UNDOING THESE KNOTTED TIMES (FROM HERE WE ARE NOWHERE LP) - Eyeless Records 2023.

    RELEASE OF THE YEAR - The accolade goes to this wonderfully dark album that surprises me every time I listen to it.  A dark dismal soundtrack to a horror movie that needs to exist.  Twists and turns all along the way, sounding massive and deadly all at once.  Possibly also on my LABEL OF THE YEAR if I were to have one. Fencepest, take a bow.  or don't. 

fencepest - bloom_I (bloom & decay), Inner Demons Records 2025.

La Brea Pulpit - Bluntdestroyer (Anandamide Aberration), Liquid Library 2025. 

O Ratel Ratel - Zoölogie (Zomerzonde), Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere 2017.

Jay Tripwire - Hoia Baciu Forest (For David Lynch), Self Released 2024.

    NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONTH (Part 2) - Adventurous Music 5th Anniversary Compilation - from Leipzig, Germany. 

Laure Boer & Conure - Midtown Sea (AM 5th Anniversary) - AM 2024. 

SUFRD & fencepost - A88SRV3T4MR (AM 5th Anniversary) - AM 2024. 

                (I thought Fencepest was the same as Fencepost but its not - but it kinda of is! Fencepost +                       Pestzone = Fencepest, so this is a different collaborative offering from FP). 

Shaun Robert - expel (unbecoming), Self Released, 2015.

Su Sous Toulouse en Rouge - Gumbo-Limbo (Eadem Mutata Resurgo), Forever Escaping Boredom, 2024.

Trou Aux Rats - Mes mains sur ta seconde peau de cuir (Le Cloaque Apres La Romance), At War With False Noise, 2020.

So thats it for 2025, another year ticked off.  Proud to have supported all these artists and labels in their quests for bringing new sounds to the world.  I shall try again in 2026. 

The Tump Clump #53 - 04/12/25

This month I decided to raid the vinyl archives and do a totally turntable mix.  I have been playing a lot more techno/house recently, I even visiting Exeter Dance Music Record Fayre (hosted by Total Tunes Records of Torquay, apologies for the Facebook link) which was held at Bomba a couple of weekends back. Nice to get back into "mixing" and exploring my club tendencies again. Not everything in life has to be noise. 

So here's this months offering, a collection of things purchased, traded or gifted that have joined my collection over the years:

Necro Deathmort - Channel Fever (Distraction Records 2014) 12"

Ambulance - Antiques Roadshow (Planet Mu 2002) 7" single

Sly & The Family Drone - Tsukiji (Feeding Tube Records 2020) 12"

Shaun Robert - Envelope (The institute of Alien Research 2015) 7" single

Justice Yeldham - Fresh Balls [excerpt] (Feeding Tube Records 2019) 12"

Ekoplekz - Ekztrakz (Self released 2022) - not sure which side 1 or 2 as its an unlabelled 7" lathe cut. Nothing on the run-out groove either of course.  Limited edition number 11 of 30. 

Lucy & Aaron - Trueno (Hanson Records 2021) 12"

The Fear Ratio - arel (Kasm 2015) 10"

O.S.T - Iring (Emanate Records 2000) 12"

Pselodux - Eramer2 (8-bit Records 2002) 12"

qebrµs - ⊶⊑ ♉ ♋ ☮ ♋ ♉⊒⊷ (Love Love Records 2017) - although this 12" is from the 2024 issue, originally this was CD only. Huge thanks to LoveLove for reissuing this one (with proceeds going to the family) - long time fans may remember I interviewed qebrµs for SnareRush Zine a few years back, shorly before they passed from this plane.

BLACKCLOUDSUMMONER - My Purest Heart To You (Nim_Brut 2021) Ltd 12" lathe cut. 

The Mike Sammes Singers - Wombling Merry Christmas (Music For Pleasure 1975) 7" single - yes i'm aware I played it at the wrong speed.  It needed to be dismal.  A fun track and still not sure how I acquired this but there you go. 

          Outro: Some Soloman Tump live Drone stuff to fill out the allocated 60 mins :) 

It was fun to dig through the archives and play some different stuff again - still fairly dismal but maybe not quite as noisy as the show sometimes gets.  I guess a slight reflection on the music I buy on vinyl - more electronic based / club adjacent / leftfield, rather than drone/noise. 

Well thats it for The Tump Clump in 2025.  Another year ticked off and I shall return in 2026 for perhaps more of the same or something slightly different - havn't quite decided yet.  Thank you for tuning in and see you again in some capacity in the next one. 

The Tump Clump #52 - 06/11/25

Episode 52 of the Tump Clump Radio show features a brevvy of new music and a live session from yours truly - a practice recording made ahead of my recent Muhmur Radio appearance.

Made with the same setup that was used on the live broadcast, some similar results but some differences too... listen to them both and see if you can spot the differences?! The beauty of improvisation I guess.

Tonights show starts with a couple of tracks from a split tape I received in a recent trade - thanks to Ville of Finland for that.  Check out Harva Tapes if you want to hear more. 

Then something from a new Leeds based act called Wire Mothers - intrigueing gothic noise indeed - hope to hear more from this project soon.

Paul Harrison was kind enough to send me his latest albums - so tonight I played a track from Light Step which was refreshingly synth heavy and quite "easy" listening compared to some work I have heard from him.  Great stuff.

Jabe Ledoux is the latest fantastic release from Inner Demon Records, pretty sure I gush over something from that label every month. 

Eustress Tapes supply recent sounds from Substak as well as Cody Brant & Carl Kruger. I love the aesthetics of their tape releases - transluscent shells and misted cases make for a great thematic work. eg 

Ain't they stunning :)

Tracklisting 06/11/2025:

01 VILLE RANTANEN - LOW CONTACT I (VILLE RANTANEN - BLOODKRY split)

02 BLOODKRY - KOLINAPÄÄ (VILLE RANTANEN - BLOODKRY split)

03 Wire Mothers - RAGGED (Ragged Desire)

04 Paul David Harrison - When It Can All Lie About Itself (Light Step)

05 Jabe Ledoux - Falls Breathe 3 (Falls-Breathe)

06 Substak - Cache Dust (Exolife)

07 Cordial Fare - Salt Of The Earth (How Much Is Enough)

08 Cody Brant & Carl Kruger - No One Said Anything (Nova Detour)

09 Soloman Tump - 241025

Soloman Tump - Live for Muhmur Radio, 26/10/2025

Sunday 26th October 2025, remember it well for that was the date that I performed a session for Muhmur Radio, live and direct from the SoundArt studios in Dartington.  So a massive thank you to Steve for having me along and trusting me with about 27 minutes of your show, and to Chris for being the ever wonderful host and head honcho at the studios.  

I will admit to being a bit nervous beforehand, and especially when I discovered that the only other live broadcast that had gone out on Muhmur Radio was by Nocturnal Emissions in 2018.  So a true honour to be invited along and personally I think it ended up sounding "quite good". 

Also thanks for the cold beer! Much appreciated on the night to help calm the nerves :)

You can find more on the full broadcast, including a tracklisting of everything else that Steve played here -

https://remuhmuration.blogspot.com/2025/10/muhmur-radio-broadcast-286-26-october.html 

It turned into a solo men special, mostly (because there are always exceptions).  But I guess it shows how many guys there are out there, sat in dark rooms alone, making noises.  Perhaps we will get solo women in the future, would make for a great show.  I shall put the idea forward!  

The original Muhmur setlist - slightly altered on the night

I also gave some words for a pre-match interview with Steve over email, which have been published here - https://remuhmuration.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-muhmur-radio-soloman-tump-interview.html  - after all the interviews I did for the various zines over the years, this was the first one I had ever done for someone else.  So I probably waffled on for a fair bit after being given the opportunity.  

A few thoughts about the set itself;

It was partly planned, and partly improvised.  

I had 3 prepared recordings that I used as baseline sound sources to play and manipulate throughout the set.  There was an oscillating sine tone,  a vocal sample from "The Age of Steam" BBC Sound Effects record, and a synth recording I previously created for one of my previous releases "Weland" - so I guess this became a live version of that track.

I recorded a few practice sessions around these samples, using them in various ways with different effects and equipment, before settling on the rig that I took to the studio. The run time left a lot of room to experiment and play around these, and luckily on the night I managed to keep roughly to the allocated time.

There was the temptation to bring along EVEN MORE KIT than I did, but after a bit of whittling down, I managed to fit everything onto an offcut of timber I found in the garage, which made transporting and setting up in the studio a lot easier. 

Listening again, there were a few things I would have done differently, but thats the beauty of improvisation (and also possibly why I felt a bit nervous!).  

I kept the volume out of my mixer fairly low as im not used to blasting it out too loud at home - I also wanted to keep some headroom so that I could master the recording with ease (and yes, I think I will release a 3" CDr version soon...)

One of the alternative practice recordings will feature on the next Tump Clump radio show to give an idea of how the live process works.

Overall, great fun to do this, and it has given me the itch to do it again!  Thanks again to Steve for supporting my work and giving me the desire to do more....

The Tump Clump #51 - 09/10/2025

Hello Muddy Tumpsters and welcome once again to another fun packed edition of The Tump Clump.

I said on the show I had 15 tracks for you... well I did a little fib, I actually snuck in a 16th as there was a little bit of time at the end.  So a sneaky bonus offering from the exceptional Hannya White. 

A pleasure to roll on with the new feature ** NOISE COMPILATION OF THE MONNNNTTHH **, now in its second month but unofficially lets be honest, has been around since day 1.  2 noisy little samples for you to attempt to digest this month, courtesy of the Welcome to Clydebank collective in Glasgow, and their first ever harsh noise compilation.  Lush.

The Tump Clump #48 - 22/07/2025

Apologies a bit late updating this - you know how it is.

If you already listened to the show you might know i've been feeling a bit under the weather.  Household of plague strikes again.  But over the worst now, thankfully, just in time for the summer holidays....

No talking from me because my voice hurt.  Just a random little text to voice AI experiment (or 2) partway through to break the monotony. 

This month, a collection of dismal sounds.  

Some older, some newer. 

And here's a link because it's already on mixcloud - 

https://www.mixcloud.com/Soundart_Radio/the-tump-clump-edition-48-170725/

I opened with something from Feghoots that came off a tape I purchased a few years back, "Loiter Adjourned" on Beartown Records.  Marvellous.  Then a brand new thing from Shaun Robert that popped into my inbox just days before putting the show together, always a pleasure to include a track that is exactlty 4'33 long, as always. 

Some things that came via lurking on Reddit, such as Astryx, Entartete Musick and Swamp Donkey, more sounds to explore from across the globe and the murky world of noise.

Can't quite remember how I discovered Saint Elisabeth, but I did, and its wonderful crunchy noise/drone wall, highly thematic and poignant.  Beautiful. 

So there we go, another show for the wonderful SoundArt radio done and dusted.  Episode 50 is flying towards us at breakneck speed! Will I do something different / radical? Possibly not.  We shall see.

Thanks for listening and please support the artists played on tonights show.

01 Feghoots - Stridular Chafe

02 shaun robert - asymptotic behavior (institute for alien research)

03 Entartete Musick - Homo Strepitus

04 Kirril - ON052 - 01-23-07-23 - 07 VII (O)rmxVI+V

05 Swamp Donkey - Reel #ASP5674-1 (Out Of Focus, Out Of Empathy)

06 Thrill Behind Barks - Funky Dental Piggentwingers (A Small Quagmire)

07 Steven Leak - molybdenum  (Anniversary) - Bromtol Largesse

08 Saint Elisabeth - Aqueduct (Mechanical Antiquity)

09 Hannya White - Holding it down in Mexico

The Tump Clump #45 - 24/04/2025

Hello! Back once again sir.

But this time with a kinda dark ambient / techno spesh.

Listen to me, hear!

https://www.mixcloud.com/Soundart_Radio/the-tump-clump-edition-44-240425/

This was a pleasure to play some great dark techno stuff from artists I rate.  I listen to a lot of techno and it was fun to put some into the show tonight.  I wanted this to be a vinyl mix but last week I managed to bust the needles on a deck and I've not been able to replace it yet. To be fair they lasted quite a few years and the sound quality had been dropping lately, so I should have seen it coming.  Also, a lot of my records are getting old and they do pick up a lot of dust.  Just shows that you gotta look after your wax and your pins.  Ho hum. 

But cheers to MORD Rotterdam for posting the new tapes out super quick - they seemed to arrive quicker than most domestic orders do! 

Songs I did play for you tonight:

01 SHXCXCHCXSH - SHUBUBUBU  (SHULULULU EP) - Avian / Berlin

02 Mordant Arrow - Circumambulation (Death Shapes LP) - Owlripper Recordings - Czech

03 Charlton - No Sense (In Plain Sight) - MORD / Rotterdam

04 Nothingness - Memento Mori (Into The Valleys Of Murk) - MIST / Brazil

05 Surgeon -  Discipline (Body Request LP) - Dynamic Tension (own label) - UK

06 LEE RILEY - LIFTING UNDERTOW (FROM HERE WE ARE NOWHERE) - S/R - Oxford

07 VFH - weird loser (Blub Blub Blub EP) - Larry Crywater Tapes - Nottingham

08 Phase Fatale - Empty Whip (Reverse Fall) - Ostgut Ton / Berlin

09 Beyond Abyss - Movement II (Into The Valleys Of Murk) - MIST Brazil 

10 Wernyhora Nadchodzi - ...c.n K....s (Vertical Spectrum) - MORD / Rotterdam

11 Autechre - shimripl air (NTS Sessions 4) - WARP Recordings - Sheffield / London

12 Photophobik - Mutilage (Dystonium LP) - Molt Fluid / Edinburgh

 

Thanks for listening and hope the soundtrack was still dismal enough for you! A few Tump Clump regulars still in there, but some new artists / labels that I would not normally get to play.  Get in touch and let me know what you think of the selection please.  

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.

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)

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!

The Tump Clump #40 - 21/11/24

My little radio show reaches its 40th edition! Its almost as old as I am in shows vs my orbits around the sun.  Almost.

This month, a revolutionary change of tact as I publish the blog at the same time as the show is on air on SoundArt Radio.  I know, right?!

So I'll do a little running commentary as the show plays through and talk a bit about the tracks for a change.

Opening up the show was a track by Shredded Nerve called Precipice.  This from the amazing F.L.A.W festival ( aka Final Live Audio War in Cleveland, OH on October 12th, 2024) double cassette compilation.  This track was actually the final one on the compilation and provides a lush throbbing opener for this show.  Shredded Nerve is a US based artist that I really should know more about - they have released on NoRent Records and New Forces, 2 labels I'm a fan of, plus being part of this festival lineup means I will no doubt like what I hear elsewhere! To be continued. 

Next up "untitled" by NEXUS RASP, a self released experiment that I found enticing at first because of the use of Agent Cooper from Twin Peaks in the artwork.  But its also a very cool collage style track in its own right. NEXUS RASP is a California based artist with just a few releases on their Bandcamp page. 

Strange Devicers next with a track from the new album called New Urgences. Strange Devicers are Matt Atkins and Andy Rowe, and i've played some bits from them before on the Tump Clump, namely from the Orchid Terrace Preface album which was released on Steep Gloss last year.  This new album comes via Kirigirisu Recordings of Japan on CDr and at the time of writing there are a handful left...

I discovered Haddow on an Instagram live stream, from a show put on by James Shearman at New River Studios I think.... and I was captivated by this live performance despite the poor sound and audio quality of the stream.  I purchased this latest album called "o sono no arco" and the track I played on tonights show is Kitsch Corner.  Haddow creates most of his sounds with home made (string?) instruments, and applies affects, loops and layers to create haunting murkiness.  Beautiful dismal sounds! But also rhythmic and ritualistic.  Very much a recommended release.

Any long time listeners of The Tump Clump will know that I am a fan of digital compilations.  An often brilliant way of discovering a whole raft of new artists for a bargain price.  This was the Eroding The Walls compilations from Outsider Industries of Arizona, and I played "Gates Pass" by the artist Oscillator for you tonight.  I love digging through these label  / theme compilations to find suitable delights for my show. 

A couple next from one of my new favourite UK tape labels - Brachliegen Tapes.  The label set the bar really high right from when they started, and have maintained a consistently high schedule of quality throughout.  The latest batch includes David Walraf with a tense lumbering excursion, and Gorgeous Gorgeous from South Korea with a frantic noisy barrage.  Two high quality releases once again, and this time I have to thank Muhmur Radio with linking me up with download codes for these.  I usually do purchase everything that I play on the show, unless it has been gifted of course!  I support artists and labels, and share with you some of my favourite bits on the hope that you will support them too.

Static Fever by A Vibrant Struggle! Fantastic tape I discovered recently via Grisaille Records of Germany.  Another label that I need to explore the catalogue of.  There really is so much great stuff being recorded and released still.  You just have to find it.  This is a long sold out tape released in May 2023 by a trio of sound artists credited as Sindre Bjerga, Jan-M. Iversen & Steffan de Turck.  Really great dense sounds and as I type this I have just found a whole raft of their releases on Bandcamp that I need to dive into next...

Then a favourite of mine for this time of year,  a track from At A Glacial Pace by Topiary.  Cold noise drones for the bleak midwinter.  This track is "Retreading the Old Path".  Maybe ive played half of that album on this show by now.  Its beautiful and haunting and would definitely make it onto a Tump Clump best of :)  Topiary is a collaboration between Death Knell and Moss Harvest, two artists who produce amazing music by themselves also. 

Some crumbling noise wall next courtesy of Rural Noise with "No Fishing".  This taken from the digital portion of Plastic Bag: A HNW Tribute to Vomir compilation.  This ended up as a 37 track album from artists all over the world providing exactly 5 minute long harsh-noise-wall tributes to Vomir, one of which was me! My first ever HNW release and it made it onto a compilation for the figurehead of the scene.  Quite gobsmacking really.  "No Fishing" is quite a soft take on the HNW ethic but one that I find fascinating.  Static loops and filtered breaking things make for a really interest aesthetic.  

Last track, as promised to bookend tonight's show, is from the almighty Fleshlicker with a track called Hair Love.  If you were at the F.L.A.W Festival or any of the myriad UK performances from this artist over the past few years, you will know how impressive a battering of the senses this artist provides.  The sound, whilst massive and uncompromising by itself, is definitely only a part of the Fleshlicker experience. 

So until next time, A Christmas special perhaps?!

Thanks for listening and reading if you made it this far. 

Soloman Tump

The Tump Clump #39 - 24/10/24

 

The Tump Clump #39 was broadcast on FM via the beautiful SoundArt Radio from Dartington Hall, Totnes, on 24th October 2024, also digitally via their website at https://www.soundartradio.org.uk/ and then archived on the MixCloud at https://www.mixcloud.com/Soundart_Radio/the-tump-clump-39-241024/ 

So there were/are multiple ways for you to listen to it.  If needed, perhaps I could record it to a tape and post it to you? I am happy to do that also.  On this show, you can hear the following songs interspersed with a few spoken words from me, Soloman Tump. 

I think on this particular occasion, everything played can be found on Bandcamp for you to purchase/stream, apart from the track by me which was an exclusive for this show.

The Tump Clump # 36 - Supernormal Preview Special! 01/08/2024

 

So the day this show aired, I was already at Braziers Park enjoying the sights and sounds of the Supernormal Festival.  Not quite in full swing, but full of crew and volunteers getting into the spirit of what would be another fantastic edition of the quirky DIY festival.

But more of that in the next blog post.

First broadcast 01/08/2024 20:00 via SoundArt Radio FM Totnes and online.

• 1. Rrose - Alloy (AL GHARIB Fundraiser compilation)
• 2. Fish El Fish - Skin Shedding In The Pantry (Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs)
• 3. Lacrima - Fig (Cachexia)
• 4. Yol - An Offering (Burselm Accomplice vol 2)
• 5. Genderisthebastard - XXVI
• 6. Soloman Tump & Plague Arish - sprnml  [recorded at Supernormal 2018]
• 7. Plague Arish - Day 1 in the cave par deux, I cant wait to be a chocolate bunny (s/r)
• 8. Nkisi - What you Dont kn0w (BLK SPLLS 2)
• 9. Monoxide Brothers - Three pounds forty with a clubcard
• 10. Chlorine -Bubblewraps (Velvet Teeth)

>>> LISTEN HERE <<<

This show was curated by listening to a bunch of names on the programme that I did not recognise (eg Nkisi and Monoxide Brothers) and then deciding that I liked that! But other artists I was familiar with (Rrose, GistheB and Yol) who I hoped I would catch at the festival having never seen them before.

For Supernormal because I volunteer and never know what my shifts are until I get to site, I tend to have an idea of what I want to see, generally miss about 80% of that, and end up seeing a whole bunch of different amazing stuff instead.

Spoiler alert: 2024 was no different!
