My blog post on on the importance of place for everyday creativity has been posted on the @ecnetwork22 website, inspired by Gaston Bachelard's book The Poetics of Space (1958) #place#everydaycreativity#poetry - read it here: https://t.co/oMGnldzcSC
@keithjknight @GreenManFest I’m so glad you were able to make it there. It truly is a wondrous, spiritual place and it is long since I was able to go. It’s time I went back!
Lovely to finally visit @FilmLeigh last night at @SpinnersMill@LeighFilm! A labour of love to be sure, but great to see what has become of the bare space I saw in March 2020; little did any of us know then what was just around the corner! Banshees of Inisherin hit the spot too!
@gretchenpeters @barelywashed I am so pleased to have been able to see you for the first (& last!) time this evening. Your songs have meant so much to me over recent years, and helped me through some tough times. Tonight was a delight, and emotional, thank you!
‘The creative element in [humans] is the root both of [their] personality & [their] society; it can neither be confined to art nor excluded from the systems of decision (i.e. politics) and maintenance (i.e. economics).’ - Raymond Williams, The Long Revolution [1/2]
A song I wish I’d written because it does all the things I love: @PorcupineTree’s .3 …
The most beautiful song about a tragedy: Heart Attack in a Lay-by …
All round superb suite of music: In Absentia
Just sayin’…
Today’s sun-drenched musical inspiration before some more @blackopalband new-song remixing is the beautiful inspirational soundscape of @TimBowness & @giancarloerra’s Memories of Machines! Perfect music for shafts of sunlight sneaking through the blinds… at the centre of it all
Hey, @Indiefangurl & @154wire! After a bit of polishing, tidying, tweaking and editing, No Pressure turns out to be one hell of a epic @blackopalband track!! 🤘🏻#theonethatnearlygotaway
Warming up for the next batch of @blackopalband new song remixing today in a sun-drenched room with arguably the finest album of the year so far, @slowreadersclub’s Knowledge Freedom Power
@agnesjuliet What I have done is invite people who have served as peer reviewers for us, supported the journal with professionalism & enthusiasm above & beyond, as a way of saying thank you. I hope it makes them feel valued for the work they do, without which we’d be lost.
In between doing some stereo remixes of @blackopalband’s 12 new post-lockdown demos -Kick & Breathe- I have been listening to @OfficialOMD’s groundbreaking Architecture & Morality (1st LP I bought) & Dazzle Ships, @Sian_Kosheen’s timeless Kokopelli & the new Depeche Mode album
