A digital box set of my Cantus Orbis mixes from the last decade are now available for download. Four albums that focus on drone heavy/repetitive music written between the 5th / 15th centuries. I don’t own any of this so encourage you to take the ‘free’ option: iamplinth.bandcamp.com/album/cantus...

When I first saw it, I just grabbed it as it’s a very pretty cat painting and didn’t even check it until an hour later. Mental.

This will be a stunner.

I recently delivered my sleevenotes for this boxset. I can't wait for people to hear it. 7 CDs & a DVD filled with the most incredible music, much of it previously unreleased. Dick Gaughan is, of course, one of the greats. This set makes that fact blindingly & brilliantly clear, time and time again

A picture of R/evolution, the forthcoming boxset of music by Dick Gaughan.

He designed a chapel in Reims where he is buried. And given he was born in 1898, have you ever seen a cooler looking guy?

A Japanese ex-pat who relocated to Paris, becoming a friend and contemporary of Modigliani, Picasso, Satie and Matisse, he specialised in cat pictures and nudes.

He’s still with us (it’s a semi retirement) - he’s condensing down to his other shop that sells African art and kimonos but that magical shop with its little food cart in the window is sussex folklore at this point

Most of my life was laser-focused around Hastings for one reason or another. Get togethers, break-ups, chips with my folks on the seafront. The old town is a place forever changing but always the same. Roberts felt like it might be the big brass pin holding it all together - I’ll be sad to see it go

Picked up a little Victorian oil today from Scottish landscape painter and ornithologist Edward Hargitt. Two kids teasing their playmate who is stuck in finishing lunch. I love how there’s an unspoken story behind it, like a page Tom’s Midnight Garden, The Moondial or a long lost children’s story.
