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)

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

The Tump Clump #51 - 09/10/2025

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

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 #50 - 11/09/2025

Hello Clumpers!

So it was with great enjoyment that I put together my 50th show for SoundArt Radio (there was an extra "mixcloud only" edition on top of these). A pleasure and an honour to still be on the airwaves with them, live and direct from Dartington Hall. 

Lots of unreleased / independent sounds this month, with a fairly industrial / droney kinda rhythm pulsing throughout. 

  >>>MIXCLOUD ME HERE PLS<<<

I particularly enjoy the Sugababes cover by INIT that features.  I first heard this on Rinse FM over the summer, and had to instantly seek it out - found it on the artists Bandcamp page in the end. Then someone played it at this years Houghton Festival and it gained a bit more traction.  But its suitable dismal for this show and its a pleasure to play something different for you.

Also on the show, opening with a lush track by Fencepest and I urge you to check out the full album of Bloom & Decay because it is an absolute belter. 

Also a couple of tracks from the RTR2 Sessions release on Burnt Seed Records.  Burnt Seed is a label based in Perth, Australia, and hopefully something new from Soloman Tump being released through them at some point in the near future.  I just need to sort out the sounds and be happy with them.  It's a forever difficult thing for me. 

01 Fencepest - Decay III (Bloom & Decay) - Inner Demon Records

02 Vacant Land - Delivering Shared Ownership Homes (Strategic Flood Risk)

03 Dr Trousers - Wickerman (RTR2 Sessions) - Burnt Seed Records

04 Lürgid - Errorsion (RTR2 Sessions) - Burnt Seed Records

05 Lucidet - Sacrifice-Statistic, Ritual-Routine (Massive Machines LP)

06 Plague Arish - Gruinard-Rosen Bridge (Unreleased)

07 INIT - Overload (Sugababes cover)

08 Soloman Tump - Roamer (Unreleased)

09 Swamp Donkey - From One State Of Existence To Another (The Last Echoes Of Suns Now Dead LP) - Grimm Goat. 

10 Organ Of Corti - Defuncti (Insania LP)

11 Soloman Tump - Clump Loop 3 (Unreleased)

 

Thanks to Plague Arish for sending me his new music.  Cheers bro.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the show over the years, especially Chris (SoundArt big boss) and Steve (Muhmur Radio) for his continued support. More to come!

There is slow progress on new Soloman Tump music, I record a load, listen back, bin about 95% of it, start again... but every now and then, a little nugget or idea comes good and it gets put in the possible/save pile.   But i'm getting there.

The Tump Clump #49 - 14/08/2025

 Listen to me here! 

Sorry for slow updating the blog - busy summer holiday / funerals / work / cheese / etc

30/08/25 - Finally updated tracklist - apologies for that! Busy few weeks.  But I have been working on Tump Clump #50 which im happy to say is shaping up to be a depressing mess.

01 Hello Spiral - Frequency Fold ( Detached Objects)

02 Banhof Sekte & The Haunting - Autopsy Instruction- Part I- Brain Removal (Gazes (The dream & The nightmare) (comp.) 

03 Messier 106 - Extraterrestrial Manifestation (Eternal Cosmic Connection )

04 Chris Hill & Matt Atkins - 4 (Aether)

05 A Vibrant Struggle - Crystal Cauldron (Static Fever)

06 Eflär - Spring as a Musical Instrument (Homeland)

07 BLACKSMITH - 05 ⚒ (Nude Blacksmith Hammering an Anvil)

09 IOM - A2. Paaraatt15 9 (Happines and Sacrifice)

10 Shaun Robert - Grotto  - Institute For Alien Research

11 LAST STEP - My Off Days (Sleep LP) - Planet Mu

 Was going to close out the show with something new by me but ran out of time - maybe next month.  Thank you for listening :)

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.

Hello Spiral & Bryan Killingsworth - Sunrise (Full Spectrum Warrior) - 'Not As Good As Evening Cowards' [Steep Gloss]

NNJA RIOT and PARADOX ENCOUNTER GROUP - Resisting Static Silence - 'Dissent Particles' [Fusion Audio Recordings] 

Timmy the Tapeworm - All the Birthdays - 'Anniversary' [Bromtol Largesse] 

𝕶𝕺𝕯𝕰𝖃𝕮𝕰𝕾 - eyhiijunlokt - 'Anniversary' [Bromtol Largesse]

On Their Way Back From Paris - untitled 4 + 7 [Processed Data] 

SILIM! - Yell - 'Silim' - [Steep Gloss]

Prognosticon - Transmission # 4b- (Undefined) - Middle - Error (Rebuilt From Cache)- 'Onetheon' - [s/r] 

Jim Mckenna - junk funk - 'Encrusted Retort split' - [s/r] 

Monika Badly - All Tension, No Release - 'Love Songs' [Eggy Tapes]

Matt Atkins and Ivy Nostrum -The Sign of Four ' Gestures and Constructs' - [Minimal Resource Manipulation]

NAILBREAKER - Exit Bag '- Robert Knight Wine Cellar' [Eggy Tapes]

Bonus outro track as had about 90 seconds to fill: 

Soloman Tump - 'paulstretched sounds with a beat loop chucked over the top'

So it was good to play a couple of bits from Bristol's Eggy Tapes this time around. - check out their stuff here - https://eggytapes.co.uk/ - and i'm heading to town April 5th for their EggFest which has a cracking lineup of Tump Clump alumni and acts i'm also bound to include in May's show....  exciting to be getting out to a big noisy allday gig once again to clear away some cobwebs....

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

 

The Tump Clump #42 - 30/01/25

Happy new year!

Episode 42 is online at mixcloud HERE!

This months tracklist is as follows:

01 Hoodrat Messiah - Lapse (Perrenial LP, Trust Collective)

02 Thorn Bug - A Dundie Award For You  (Boar, Trust Collective)

03 Owrang - Cadence of Continuity (AM 5th Anniversary, Adventurous Music)

04 Quatrefoil & Jeanne Frémaux - Brack Water Serpents (AM 5th Anniversary, Adventurous Music)

05 Mouthus - Possible Hospital (Compilations -2002-2016)

06 Hideous Gomphidius - Inkcap Incantation (Apparitions of the Sporeborn)

07 COLDSORE - loss at low tide (LOSS)

08 Soloman Tump - The Blue Rose (Unreleased)

09 Moss Harvest - Untitled II (Aerosol EP)

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!

Hello!

https://www.mixcloud.com/Soundart_Radio/the-tump-clump-41-191224/

Also a Soloman Tump live session coming soon - see separate post!

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.

• 2. Fish El Fish - Skin Shedding In The Pantry (Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs)

• 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!

The Tump Clump Episode 31 - 14/03/24

The Tump Clump is back! After a few months break whilst the Sound Art studios relocate, it was good to be able to put a new show back out there.  Feeling slightly guilty that I was not able to lend a hand to the SoundArt crew during their move; awkward timings, family and work commitments made it tricky to get over to Dartington whenever the call to arms was made.  I hope to get there soon and lend a hand in some way as the work continues to get everything ship shape.

So without further ado; here are the tunes played in the newest show:

The Tump Clump # 31 - 14/03/24 - 9pm GMT

1. Pale World - Destitute (Destitute LP, Trust Collective) - https://trustcollective.bandcamp.com 
2. Saint Vehk - Neither I (Practice Doubt I & II) - https://owlripperrecordings.bandcamp.com
3. 0164 - cutup roc 07 (Antihistamine Sampler 2024) - https://histaminetapes.bandcamp.com
4. Heavy Cloud - Teyr Stone Fractuur (Antihistamine Sampler 2024) - https://histaminetapes.bandcamp.com
5. Hannya White - Bring Me Back (I call you another name) - https://hannyawhite.bandcamp.com
6. BMH - The Tape Is In The Machine (Eye Eye / II / Immortal Influence) -  https://b-m-h.bandcamp.com
7. Randy Greif - The Hole To Heaven (Golden Joy Club) - https://tribetapes.bandcamp.com
8. Mademoiselle Marchand - To the Buried That Repose Around Us (Inner Demon Records) - https://innerdemonsrecords.bandcamp.com
9. Private Arms - Blazing Trail Of Incompetence (Your Words Drip Like Wet Saliva) - https://sewerelectiongbg.bandcamp.com
10. Fecal Mutilation - New World Flesh (Heal The People, Heal The Land) -https://abeautifulidea.bandcamp.com
11. Judge Rusty - Contaminator (JR) - https://judgerusty.bandcamp.com

Quite an urgent collection of noisy dismal missives; some very recent, some a few years old.  All with a singular message of sonic experimentation and that I am pleased to unleash upon the airwaves.

The Pale World track I opened with is from a stunning new album on Trust Collective.  Very dense and noisy with fleeting sections of beauty hidden within; absolutely essential to my ears.

Heavy Cloud is an artist I am slowly coming being obsessed with; hailing from deepest Cornwall and taking the ravages of land and sea as an inspiration for sound and art work.  Really strong stuff and I appreciate them sending me their last few releases too!

Hannya White once again delivers some focused yet abstract work on her latest EP "I call you another name" - this track is the digital bonus offering that appears when you download, and is the subject of a nifty video on youtube in her singular style. And here it is to save you searching for it - enjoy!

The 3-track Mademoiselle Marchand EP on Inner Demons Records was released on my favourite 3" CDr format, and I long for more! Perfect short form harsh noise wall crumbles.

Another highlight this month comes from Private Arms, a collaboration between Sewer Election and vocalist Sofie for a uniquely eclectic album.  Putting these shows together makes me realise how much great music I have amassed, and how much more I need to listen to what I already have. Despite of course... the urge to get more being strong.  

Be back in just 4 weeks time with another hour of semi-organised ramblings between sounds - thats 11th April 2024.  Thank you for listening!

The Tump Clump Episode 30

Whoooooooo! The big triple XXX.

Episode 30.  

And the last of 2023.

And this time around, its just an hour of original Soloman Tump sounds, and nothing else.  Because I can.  It's my show right!  This was all recorded in November 2023, from my shed studio (which needs a name, any ideas?)

Hardware jams, sketches, ideas, all of various / dubious sound quality and low levels of ability and clarity.  Apologies in advance, but I had fun recording it all.  

I then chopped it down to an hour.  Some bits I layered over each other.  Some bits I even did some basic mastering on to get the levels up a bit.  But time was my enemy (again) and so there came the point where I had to call it "finished".  So I present to you:

The Tump Clump, Episode 30.

First broadcast on SoundArt Radio, 30th November 2023.

Featuring the following, all seamlessly melded into an hour of dismal ichor. 

1. Soloman Tump -  Honeybag (dub)

2. Soloman Tump - Honeybag (desire path)

3. Soloman Tump - Trough Lane

4. Soloman Tump - Smothered slowly by the creeping death that is ivy

5. Soloman Tump - The sheldrake hypothesis

6. Soloman Tump - Secateur Bureaucracy (an ode to health and safety in my wildlife volunteer group)

7. Soloman Tump - Endless, Gnomeless

8. Soloman Tump - Garden rummage (live edition) 

9. Soloman Tump - s o u n ( d a r t )

But don't worry, all is not lost.... I got some great tracks already lined up for the first show of 2024 and I promise the quality will be upped for then.... Thanks for listening
