Just sent the new Kickstarter off for review. All the details to follow, but in the meantime....

...why not check out a sneak peak of the album concerned, 'The talking Castle' by Near Minerals?

Alright #experimental #music #novel #writing friends!

Which blogs / sites should I be looking to convince to share/advertise our latest release, an abstract horror 'children's book for grown-ups' novel, complete with electronic minimal synthesis soundtrack?

Suggestions welcome!

Here Is Where It Hurts

Many thanks once again goes to @difficultart.bsky.social for supporting this work.

“a collection of half-exposed photographs …layers of hiss and murk obscure fragments of melody that drift eternally in and out of view,

I know I am supposed to feel this way... but @meansmagazine.bsky.social just keeps getting better and better. I've no idea how I'm going to fit in everything I want to issue 4 - it's shaping up to be a diverse and compelling issue.

Submissions for this edition of @meansmagazine.bsky.social were of EXTREMELY high quality.

I now have the impossible job of selecting which go in the magazine :(

ME: Ok guys, we're planning a pretty big album launch, so we need a top notch photo for the press release.

@meansmagazine.bsky.social are making a mail-order mag of underground labels to go with their new issue.

It's a cool idea, and challenges the monopoly of Spotify et all.

BUT... we need labels to sign up to make it work.

Help us out - tag your fav label - only a few days left to join!

Any lovely labels keen to do a physical release of a new album of mine?

It's a) the best thing I've ever done, and b) not something I particularly want to do on DAAM (because I enjoy using the label to promote others work far more than my own).

Hey look! It's just @normanrecords.com giving @heavycloud.bsky.social 'new arrival of the week'! Woah!

If I can convince just 20 people to pre-order it, I'm going to do the next DAAM album on vinyl. It's a real treat: an abstract electronic soundtrack to A.C. Fayler's novel 'The Talking Castle'.

Watch this space!

"Recently, an art piece that I co-created over 30 years ago with my then-partner, musician Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, was unearthed from a storage facility, after apparently being misplaced by the band’s management."

I Was A Creative Force Behind One Of The Biggest Rock Bands Of The '90s. Then I Watched Them Erase Me From Their Story.
"At that time, the band had broken up, and I was told they would never reunite. But that’s not what happened."

I'm going to keep banging on about this until it starts to get the attention it deserves.

There is truly magical stuff going on down at Falmouth - I reckon they'll be talking about it in years to come and we'll all pretend we were into it at the time:

I can’t express how amazing the POST- album is. Manages to incorporate drone, krautrock, post-rock, improv, noise, and a thousand other things with the ultimate grace and precision.
