Haiku Salut @haikusalut.bsky.social · Nov 17

Hello people new and old. We make pastoral electronica using field recordings, piano and guitar out of a cotton mill studio in Derbyshire. The shows we play sometimes involve turning sound into light.

Other interests include books, hills and mushrooms.

We went to the woods and asked a birch tree to join the band. We took tiny recordings of the sap flow, tapped it, thanked it, and drank the sap. Magic!

Hello. We're DJing at Psychic Dancehall, an experimental and electronica multi venue festival in Derby this Saturday.

We will probably play Aphex Twin and try our hardest not to play The Spice Girls but can't make any promises.

A few tickets left here at £30:

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.

I've been spending time inside a sequencer that makes sounds fly around, and attempting to make order of the chaos. I've added a recording of some stuff rolling across a table. I'm not too enamoured with the piano, but it works! The machines are doing my bidding!

I am absolutely thrilled

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 massive mushroom that looks like a cloud with tendrils.

I haven't! You're not the first person to recommend this to me, and I do like Japanese fiction. Will bump it up the list. Thanks!

I know a lot of people who didn't get on with this book, but I thought it was fantastic. Is there a genre name for books with no plot? I am all over that shit. #booksky
