Thanks for highlighting Jeff! Another album that largely got missed at the time - perhaps Pluhm's sound is almost too precious for this world.

Excellent new show from @audiointerface.bsky.social - including a goods slice of recent Subexotic albums - RONSACK from @swansither.bsky.social and ULLA from Foster Neville & Tim Didymus (truly 'sui generis' releases to quote @spacediscojeff.bsky.social!)

Subexotic have moved to Wales - how fitting that Alan Garner's "The Owl Service" & the legend of the Mabinogion set the tone for this fascinating, charmingly askew collaboration.

Serve with a side of Welsh cakes..

In Feb I released a film score on @subexotic.bsky.social for Jack Laurance’s ‘Take A Look At God’s Face’, and I wanted to go into crazy depth on how I put the music together and the tools I use for soundtrack work. There’s a mega 40min video walkthrough on my Patreon and here’s a few previews..

If you’re interested in writing music for TV/film in general I highly recommend a peak.
I loved working on this project so much and it’s a brilliant movie that Jack produced. The full soundtrack is on 12” on @subexotic.bsky.social Bandcamp now too!! www.patreon.com/thomasragsda...
