Dust 4 by Peter Chilvers. Filmed by Dion Johnson. (4K)
YouTube video by Curious Music

Thrilled to have finally released Dust 4, my first full album on Curious Music. It was written in tandem with a beautiful 60 minute video by Dion Johnson, whose stunning drone footage perfectly captures the landscapes that inspired it.

These death masks of Isaac Newton, Oliver Cromwell and John Keats are doing my head in a little. It’s not like seeing a photo or a painting, there’s a real sense a physical person.
They were hiding on a bottom shelf in the wonderfully eccentric Wisbech and Fenland Museum. Well worth a visit.

Delighted to be interviewed by and performing with pedal steel guitarist Joe Harvey-Whyte for his ambient show The Dream Stream on Soho Radio tonight at 10pm UK Time. Joe’s an incredible player, it was a joy.
The show will be available online shortly afterwards, I’ll post a link.

This remix of Glacial Lake by @foveahex.bsky.social was released 10 years ago. I’ve only done a handful of remixes, but think this is my favourite. A profoundly moving song by a deeply original band.

Of course, it’d be really weird if the music press picked up on it… Oh wait.

And finally, a little bit of video I took at the beginning, with the sound of me saying “ooh that’s funny” removed. This is how it would have appeared to a deaf person…

Cabling has never been my strong suit. How I ended up looking after Brian Eno’s studio equipment remains a mystery.

IPlayer on an Apple TV. I’ve no idea if the issue was widespread or just on that platform. It doesn’t do it on playback sadly.

Running out of photos, but here’s Lauren Laverne’s intro. These may have been the correct subtitles, I’m not sure.

I did look on iPlayer to see if Mrs. Marple was also running with Pulp lyrics for subtitles instead, but sadly not.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.
