A few weeks ago, I spent a wonderful afternoon with Amelia Read in her studio getting some new artist photos snapped and I'm completely in love with the results!

Yeah, slightly terrified about the security implications for the extensions and lack of oversight by Ableton. For years I’ve felt Ableton have been offloading development of key features to M4L users and this feels like an admission of that

It’s always given me the Ick… but that might because it’s often covered by classical musicians somewhat tastelessly

When Mac Seldom reached out about helping him build a live show, I bit his hand off. I spent a couple of weeks showing him options, building an Ableton Live file & coding Max4Live patches - very much my happy place 🧩🥰⚡️🎶 Mac's EP is out on @skreamizm.bsky.social's label btw🔥 orcd.co/oum115macsel...

It is an immersive multimedia performance, with light and sound specifically designed for historic site Victoria Tunnel, as well as spoken word, live music and electronics, all merging to tell a deeply personal story that explores the tension between vulnerability and resilience.

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

After months of preparation, I finally will perform Buried Signals tonight! The entire show runs from 7.30 to 8.30pm in a unique setting. You can buy tickets on the door or on Ouseburn Trust's website: ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event...

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

To light Victoria Tunnel tomorrow, I’m using a set of 8 pixel bars that I’m controlling from #Resolume Arena. I love these fixtures, they’re really quick to set up & can create loads of effects. I built a 2D visualiser with @touchdesigner.bsky.social, which really helps plan for such a unique venue!

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Buried Signals is one of the most technically complex performances I’ve ever made. As it’s not in a normal venue and the set-up time isn’t very long - it’s really important I know the system I’m using inside out. Hopefully the diagram will help during this! ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event...

Bartholomew @bartholomusic.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Buried Signals is a unique audiovisual performance I designed for the Victoria Tunnel that runs underneath Newcastle: ouseburntrust.org.uk/events/event... Tickets are limited, so get yours at the link if you're up for something different. #storytelling #electronicmusic #lightdesign #surrealism
