It's Bandcamp Friday. You know what that means! https://t.co/KysmoyxqHB

My album "House of Pitfour" was released four years ago today, on Leap Day 2020. It takes us on a dream-like guided tour of an imaginary stately home, visiting the fitted vestibule, the marble escalator, the engine chamber and the communication shaft.

It's that time of year when musicians publish their annual Spotify statistics. Well I can tell you I have had zero streams from zero listeners in zero countries, totalling zero hours of listening on Spotify. (1/3)

Celebrating Bandcamp Friday and 60 years of the cassette tape: "A Birthday Sequence", recorded on cassette in 1989 and remastered for digital release in 2017, alternates bright and dark modes, with AI modulating between the modes. #bandcampfriday #cassette #aimusic #aiart

It's Bandcamp Friday! Buy today and your money goes direct to the artist! A suggestion from the back catalogue: "Year's Embers" charts the lengthening nights of the last four months of the year, frantic, demonic, and ultimately calm.

"All Souls to Cecilia" (2022) finds voices in the wind blowing across Buchan in November, the souls of all those people who were lost to us during the pandemic. Buy it today and more of your money goes direct to the composer. #bandcampfriday

In "Wheeze-Box Trance" (2022) a harmonium with a lung deficiency provides a metaphor for the struggle to breath during an attack of covid, and relief is provided by a Turkish cymbal. Buy it today and more of your money goes to the composer. #BandcampFriday

In "A Throstle's Tale" (2021) a song thrush is accompanied by crows, pigeons, seagulls, a tractor and an aircraft, before string drones and tenor recorder join in. Buy it today and more of your money goes direct to the composer. #BandcampFriday

Apparently High Moss has been on Twitter for seven years. Seven years ago, four albums had already been released. Now there are 28 to collect! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Music made close to home under lockdown conditions and after an attack of covid, featuring a song thrush, a wheezy harmonium, and the November wind blowing ceaselessly across the Buchan plateau.

Now available to stream or to download via Bandcamp:

The solstice falls later this evening. "Dundee Ambient, Part 5: Winter Solstice Again" brings the year full circle, ending the whole "Dundee Ambient" sequence in the deepest stillness and most restful sleep. https://t.co/HEJk3m3scL

Music for the time of year when change is fastest....

[Haworth Hodgkinson @HaworthH]

In "Autumn Equinox", Part 4 of my "Dundee Ambient" sequence, music from earlier in the year returns in transformed states, the dream music of spring turned nightmarish and the blackbird of summer slowed down to become a terrifying creature of the night.

"What happened on Tuesday 11 September 2001 has become part of history. [...] What could I, with no direct connection to the events, say that might be of any value?"

"Impact" was released one year ago today.
