Nice. Found it as a Penguin Classics edition so grabbed a copy. Thanks for the recommendation.

No not heard of him. I’ll see if I can find one.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag tbh & certainly, stylistically if it’s time. But there’s a few gems in there.

Latest read has been this collection of short stories, 'The Pale Ape & Other Pulses' by M.P.Shiel. A British author known for his decadent writing and at times Poesque explorations of morbid decay. This handsome volume is by Tartarus Press and the stories were first published as a collection in 1911

I have no doubts that the beer advert was factually incorrect. Probably.

Whilst at Sonority Designs in Birmingham playing a live set those lovely folk from the Chord Company presented me with a bunch of extremely high quality mini-jack cables to use with my Eurorack systems. To paraphrase a very famous beer advert - "Probably the best Eurorack patch cables in the world".

Magnificent performance last evening, on the 90th birthday of Steve Reich, of Music For 18 Musicians played by by the Colin Currie Group & Royal Northern Sinfonia. This is one of the most incredible concerts I've ever seen/heard & the overhead projection showed the choreography involved to play it.

After my gig at the Awakenings I went down to Birmingham to play a private session at Sonority Design. What an incredible place, simply the best speaker/room system I've ever heard - if only PA could sound this good. ATC 150 speakers powered by Chord Electronics Ultima3 amps & Chord Company cables.

Last weekend was a real blast with two concerts & a round trip to Rugeley & Birmingham. Here are some photos from my Awakenings set at Rugeley taken by Phil Booth. I've recorded this all onto multi-track HD so will be going through that in the next few weeks. A very enjoyable event to play.

It’s an incredible instrument. I’m into Berlin School style sequencing & it allowed me to do things that would have been extremely difficult to do otherwise but on the fly and in the moment.

Thanks to @electronicsound.bsky.social .social for their review of 'Juxtapositions' (DiN97) my latest collaboration with @scannerdot.com (Scanner). "Juxtapositions finds a perfect balance between their approaches, rather like sands shifting through cycling patterns and nebulous soundscapes".

Well it's goodbye to Kidlandlee high up in the Cheviots where we've spent a blissfully peaceful week. Lot's of beautiful walking with our dog Lola far from the white noise of the world at large.

Lots of mycological action in our wanderings around Kidlandlee in Northumberland.

Latest read has been ‘The Memory Police’ by Yoko Ogawa. This dystopian sci-fi novel was published in 1994, rather Kafkaesque in tone with Orwellian themes it is beautifully written & has a haunting quality about it. Thoroughly recommended.

Our view for the next week. Far from the madding crowd.

Only a couple of weeks to go now till my gig at the Awakenings on 26th September. Ably supported by Swansither & Jon Palmer this should be a great evening of electronic music & if you can't make it personally there are virtual tickets available. Link in the poster.

Ooo nice. Will try to get down to that as fairly local to me.

020

Yeah I’m trying to work through all this. Just was wondering if it was easy for someone to cast an eye over the crash log to see what is up.

020

Good idea but I use neither of these. Call me old fashioned but I’d rather a human look at it.

Robin Rimbaud - Scanner @scannerdot.com · 09/09/2026

Bit of a cry for help here - is there anyone out there who can read crash logs from a MAC - have a Mini Pro that has started restarting itself and the crash logs mention a "kernel panic" - whatever that is. Need to sort this out somehow. Cheers.

If only it was true. I’ve never given up on the format yet I’m still seeing physical sales shrinking whilst at the same time downloads are increasing.

Fantastic review of 'Juxtapositions' (DiN97), my new collaborative album with @scannerdot.com over at @igloomag.bsky.social. igloomag.com/reviews/bodd... "Juxtapositions offers the pleasure of hearing two distinctive musical voices discover new possibilities through their interaction".

My A. E. van Vogt marathon has ended (for now) in reading the 'The Book of Ptath' published in 1947. So that is 23 out of 35 or 36 (depending on the source) books. I'll try, over time, to fill in the gaps, as it would be interesting to read the full oeuvre of a particular author.

Obsessive Surrealism (DiN26) by Parallel Worlds is free to download / name your price until the end of September. dinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/obsess... Steady, organic rhythmic structures are overlaid with deceptively simple melodies that remind one of some lost John Carpenter soundtrack.
