Crap few days at work, so joined the fast group in running club tonight. Kept up with the 2 front runners for 2km, then slowed a bit & joined next few runners. Made it up the steep Redhill. Managed first 5km in 28:08, which is 45 seconds faster than my recent Parkrun best, and that's on the flat!

So we are supposed to save and plan for old age, but in the meantime our savings and pension contributions are going to be taxed more and the actual age we can take our pensions (including private pensions that we've been paying into for decades) is being moved further away...

Had some time for the @naviarrecords.bsky.social haiku challenge today. Started out as a straight piano improv, but then added some layers to it. soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/some...

Listening to Orbital's Middle of Nowhere. Boy, what an album. Few artists could make such odd melodies be really catchy.

I have already run 100km so far in November. I hit 96km last month. It's the most I've run in a month since 2011, and the training is definitely paying off.

Calling all creative types: pay heed to the opening track!
Thanks @ikjoyce.bsky.social & @audioobscura.bsky.social for recalling my 2020 Project album. 'Learning to Swim'. 20 songs all 20 secs long. Flash pop fiction, perfect for dwindling attention spans.

Was reminded of this brilliant project spearheaded by @audioobscura.bsky.social earlier- It was such a hard challenge, I am honoured to have been a part of it. I'm truly in awe of just how concise and perfectly formed some of these albums are.

Went out for a 10 km run this morning, from Rhyl to Towyn and back, which I did in 1hr 1 min 14 secs.
I'm delighted with that, given my race PB was 58 m 07s back in 2011, and I've not even been training for a 10k race!

Played with the patch from yesterday's Disquiet challenge a bit more, and fell down a rabbit hole into Brian Eno's brain circa 1975. soundcloud.com/ikjoyce/chec...

Ran to Prestatyn this morning, then did Parkrun - and got a new PB (for the Nova) time of 28:52! Ran perfect negative splits too, and felt really strong for the whole race, with an all-out sprint finish. Came 89th out of 228 runners, and 5th in my age category - well chuffed with that!

@disquiet.bsky.social "Do that thing you’ve been meaning to do." I always use Tides as an audio oscillator, not for other modulation. So, I switched it to envelope mode, and used it to generate an evolving melody. It seems Tides is a good melodic phrase

Not many listens and a huge increase in SPAM, but Soundcloud is proving useful to me as a notepad for compiling demos and finished pieces for new LP.
Another piece has been added today.

Great run with the St Asaph City Striders tonight. Managed 5km in 30:28, which considering the steep hills is a pretty decent time for me. Ran through a few random stitches, and got all the way up Redhill without stopping!

Running club tonight. Beautiful weather in St Asaph right now. Just as well skin is waterproof!

Turns out my last major album is 5 years old today.

It took me a long time to create and I think I did it justice. One of the few that got a cassette edition and the only release with a secret bonus remix companion.

One of my best, I think now.

Did Melksham Parkrun today, muddy fun, well run and friendly. Went out a bit fast, so ended up slower than planned - 29:44, but happy with that given all the puddle jumping!

Films in the Foyer x Imagined Worlds - METROPOLIS: RARE CUT WITH LIVE SCORE
Experience Fritz Lang's visionary masterpiece like never beforeJoin us for an extraordinary evening as we present a rare cut of the legendary 1927 sci-fi epic Metropolis, accompanied by a mesmerizing live musical score performed by Audio Obscura.Nearly a century after its release, Metropolis remains cinema's most ambitious vision of the future. Fritz Lang's groundbreaking silent epic depicts a dystopian city where the wealthy elite live in luxury towers while workers toil in underground factories. When the privileged Freder discovers the harsh reality below, he becomes entangled in a revolutionary plot involving a mysterious woman named Maria and a sinister robot double.This special presentation features a rare cut of the film, as explained by James Fennell;"This version of Metropolis differs significantly from the modern restorations of the film. It runs at a brisk 60 minutes and features some footage not found in any other version of the film... During the production of Metropolis, as was common practice with many silent films of the era, multiple original camera negatives were assembled. These were not simply duplicate prints, but rather parallel negatives made using different takes and occasionally different camera angles. In the case of Metropolis, three master negatives were created: two intended for European distribution and one for the United States. This process minimised generation loss, as repeated copying from a single negative could significantly degrade image quality.The modern restored version of Metropolis, widely circulated today, is based primarily on material from the surviving U.S. distribution negative. In contrast, the version presented here, was derived from one of the now long-lost European negatives. As a result, there are some notable differences in performance and shot composition. It is, in a very real sense, a different version of the film. While it may feel rough around the edges, with dirt and scratches from 90 years of projection, these are part of the object’s history. This print has likely passed through countless hands, projected in living rooms across decades, and now finds a new audience in digital form."Audio Obscura will provide a haunting, contemporary score that breathes new life into this timeless tale. Known for their innovative approach to cinematic sound, Audio Obscura creates atmospheric soundscapes that perfectly complement the film's themes of technology, humanity, and social upheaval. Neil Stringfellow has been creating music as Audio Obscura for around 10 years, creating a varied sound palate of ambient, electronic soundscapes which cover the wide spectrums of electro-acoustic music, musique concrète, idm  & post-classical minimal leanings. Neil's soundscapes often using extensive field recordings as a reflection on the environment and ones place in the world what it means to be alive at the time on environmental collapse.  As Audio Obscura Neil has released albums on many UK and Intertional record labels, includung Subexotic Records, Navair Records, Cloudchamber Recordsings and Mortality TablesPost-Screening Q&AFollowing the film, join us for an exclusive Q&A session with James Fennell, collector and owner of this rare print, alongside Audio Obscura. Fennell, a passionate collector of rare and vintage films, will share insights into the provenance of this particular cut and the world of film collecting, while Audio Obscura will discuss their approach to creating live scores for silent cinema.Find out more about James' collection at Old Films and Stuff - YouTube and Audio Obscura https://audioobscura.bandcamp.com/To see the full film schedule, as well as the chance to vote on next month's film program, you can sign up to our monthly newsletter here https://forms.office.com/e/j2VMf5ynjw Full film schedules are also advertised within the library.
