Breakfast waffles

So regular readers of this blog (or even my Instagram page) may know that i've been quietly / slowly trying to work on Issue 4 of the Intrusive Signals zine. 

And here's the truth bullet. Its been a struggle thus far, but I think I now know the reasons behind this.

I spread myself too thinly.

I try and do too many things not very well - and don't leave myself enough headspace for the seeming mountain that is assembling a zine. Its half an hour here - 30 minutes there, and short bursts do not really lend themselves to zine building in my mind.  I need to be in the zine zone, and to immerse myself in the process.  

So in a way, there are similarities in the process for completing Soloman Tump tracks where I set up my gear for a few days, work and record intensively, then put it all away again (far from ideal but thats how it!).  When I eventually listen back through all the recordings, I select the bits I find the most interesting, apply my rudimentary grim "mastering" process and call it a day.

So aside from my creative urges there is also all the "real life" stuff that needs to be done *work>pay bills> sustain family>etc*  I also have a bunch of volunteer roles I enjoy doing - so I'm currently considering if I should drop one of those to give me a bit more "me" time. 

So the crux of this Sunday morning breakfast waffle is that don't expect a new zine next week.  I'd love it to be much more advanced than it is, but it's gonna be a while still unfortunately.  

There will however be some new music sooner - a limited CD release, DIY by me.

A couple of new bits from me in this months show, recorded in February with a cheapo keyboard synth and a bunch of pedals.  Good fun. In fact, I put a photo up here!  Might release them at some point, I liked the groove I got into.  Still in a bit of a creative funk otherwise, nothing seems to be coming easily. 

Soundart new studio opening party this weekend, whoop! Hopefully see some of you there. Looking forward to checking out the new digs

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:

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!
