And now I am drawing the final curtain - my last piece of published music writing, and to mark the occasion, I am using a blog I haven't touched in decades: nopunctum.blogspot.com/2026/10/an-o...

Algernon Newton's 'City of London from Hampstead,' (c1920) brings to mind Constable's views painted from a similar spot of commanding elevated views across Hampstead Heath to St Michael's in Highgate.

“Part of the film focuses on how the BBC Radiophonic Workshop makes such contrasting music as the Dr Who signature tune… Radiophonic Workshop wizards Elizabeth Parker, Paddy Kingsland, Malcolm Clarke, Dick Mills, Roger Limb and Peter Howell demonstrate some of their techniques.“

'Aerodrome.' (1941) Eric Ravilious had often depicted the back gardens and greenhouses of middle-class pre-war England. The positioning of the war plane, flags and aerodome at the back of this composition is a deliberate device to minimise the destructive reality of the war.

Other work by the Ladybird artists ‘October’ (From a 1958 calendar by the always fabulous Ronald Lampitt)

A cloudy day in October casts long shadows so it’s early or late. An allotment is busy with autumn activity and the plots are all super well-tended.

Eileen Blair, from South Shields, UK, was believed to have had a large influence on her husband George Orwell's writing. 'Nineteen Eighty-Four's title and idea is thought to be inspired by one of her poems - 'End of the Century, 1984' #womensart

Genres aren't neat & tidy boxes in anything whether it's music, film or science. We dig into why people desire genre, and why some get grumpy when it's not adhered to by some arbitrary definition. Watch ‘For the Record' presented by Charlotte Ritchie now - www.youtube.com/watch?v=quj8...

Eero Jarnefelt's cloud study (1893) is a view over Lake Pielinen near Koli in North Karelia in eastern Finland - creatives of Järnefelt's generation, from Sibelius to Akseli Gallen-Kallela, saw Karelia as a lost paradise and an embodiment of the authentic soul of Finland.

Love this way of looking at life In universe terms, we are all meaningless specks of dust, a brief spark of existence and extinguished as soon as we came into being I find this so calming And have you noticed how the people who are desperate to be remembered are often the worst people?

Every time someone links to this film, I have to repost it. It's one of the most significant bits of British 20th century art. Everything about it is incredible. Groundbreaking music production by Daphne Oram. Amazing camera work by Wolfgang Suschitzky (who later filmed Get Carter).-

In the early part of the 20thC, the Swiss artist Hans Emmenegger began making recurrent themes of enigmatic, dark forest interiors, exploring the optical effects of light and colour. This work was painted in 1933.
