Bluesky! We're back! And very happy to say we’re performing in Birmingham in May as part of The Seventh Wave Festival of Electronic Music. An all-seated afternoon show. Support from the wonderful The Silver Field. Only 100 capacity.
There are three women performing with electronic instruments. The mood is dark yet luminous. The writing on the poster says that Haiku Salut and The Silver Field are performing in Birmingham in May 2026.

As a follow up to my post about the humongous lions mane mushroom. It is now entirely dehydrated, and I am about to perform a dual extraction to release compounds that will give my brain superpowers. The next record is gonna be synapsy 🍄
There is a five tier dehydrator on a kitchen work surface filled with chopped up lions mane mushroom. Next to this is a large glass jar with a clip lid, it is a third full of already dried mushroom. The kitchen is painted in Johnstone's 'spring green' and I am happy with this choice.

This account will get back to field recordings and micro-music soon, but I grew a humongous lions mane mushroom, and it felt like the kind of sidequest that you, the people, may be interested in. #shroomscrolling

A bit gross, sorry. For the past 2 years I've been keeping a worm farm in the garden. I made a contact mic so we could hear their striations, but disappointingly the recording turned out a bit pants. Does anyone have any suggestions on cheap mic alternatives? I'd like to hear what they have to say!

Yesterday, Gem found out that icicles sound like xylophones. I went back today to activate their tiny wooden sounds. I then put the recording through an arpeggiator & added some grain delay. I'm really happy with the percussiveness of it all. Hope you're all staying warm! youtu.be/_BhT8R5VeOM?...

Having read most Murakami in my twenties and not rating his last one, I wondered whether I'd outgrown him, but this one is perfectly Murakami by numbers. It's everything I wanted it to be. Half expected to see a dead unicorn this morning.
There's the new Murakami novel being held in the foreground. In the background, we are looking out of a window into a snowy back garden.

I went out today with a little battery powered portable set up. I'm hoping to get out more this year and find some earthy textures to take back to the studio. The music is made out of one small sample of kalimba, e-piano and a recording of a tin watering can. Happy New Year! Sophie

Next year, I'll be making machines make microtonal sounds, mining for tiny sounds in the peak district & combining the two to make patterns to make you feel things. I don't really know what this means yet, but the Arts Council have given me the chance to find out & I'm grabbing it with both hands ❤️

I spent some time today making a decorative and functional curtain to hide unsightly gear accumulated across the years. Worried it's too much. My eyes.
We're in a music studio. There are some synths and a desk and an electric guitar. There is highly patterned material in the foreground, which takes up most of our attention. In the background there is a Bedlington whippet dog staring at the camera.

I went to see a band this week who haven't played in 18 yrs. I loved them, and every person I know now, I can trace back to the community around that band. I can pinpoint the exact moment my life took a different course. The gig was great, but I'm nursing some unnameable feelings over here.
