The artist sent me this on Twxttxr today - not new (2020) but new to me, and I’m really enjoying it. Deep droning but also with serrated edges and human heart bursting through

A bit late to posting to the thread today but here’s my latest release for your consideration. An excerpt was recently included in an episode of @dani_derks’ show for Beloved Radio.

I found this a couple weeks ago. It says “alt-breakcore” which I had never heard of before.

High energy, very strange (to me). I threw down cash for the tape immediately.

My album ghost echoes is available to stream on my Bandcamp page:

Or you can download a copy to your own computer to play back offline - Just click the “Buy Digital Album” link and choose the audio format that works best for you. You can download it for free by typing 0 into the Amount field.

I posted more about the making of it in this thread.

Tangentially, I’d also like to ask folx to consider signing this online petition to support Bandcamp workers in their fight for union recognition. Bandcamp has changed ownership twice recently and if ever there was a time to press for the democratic representation of its workforce, it’s now.

That said, I’m generally doubtful that online petitions achieve what they set out to do, but it’s got to be worth a try.

Fresh new music! Digital and tapes are available.
Have a nice listening

I’ve been enjoying this album recently and it’ll be one of my bandcamp Friday purchases today

the soundtrack to my october, perfectly described as: “minimal techno sessions for your 2am drive home.” by our own lovely @zbs

Like this a lot. Takes me places.

Shameless self-promotion. Discography is available at a discount.

Today, 03 November 2023, is Bandcamp Friday, when Bandcamp, an online music store primarily for independent musicians, waives its fees for 24 hours.

All sales made during the day go directly to the artists.

My latest album, “sentinel of time”, a longform (approx 53 minutes) continuous mix of instrumental ambient drone music, is available to stream or buy at:

Any proceeds I make from sales of this album will be donated to Earth/Percent- “a fundraising and grant-making charity that will provide grants to a range of other charities and charitable causes for the benefit of individuals and communities, with a particular focus on charities that work to preserve the environment for the public benefit”. (Via the Charity Commission for England and Wales)

“sentinel of time” is a lament for the iconic and culturally significant tree at Sycamore Gap in Northumberland, England. The tree was criminally felled in the early hours of 28 September 2023 in what the authorities described as “an act of vandalism”.

The felling of the tree led to an outpouring of anger and sadness. Over the decades it had become the backdrop for marriage proposals, weddings or spreading ashes of loved ones.

From 2001 to 2022, the county of Northumberland lost 27.9 kha (nearly 69 acres) of tree cover, equivalent to a 34% decrease in tree cover since 2000.

Assembled from a selection of sketches, environmental recordings and new material in October 2023 to form part of DVD’s marathon 8-hour 100th edition of the Crazy Stitch radio show on Repeater Radio.

The entirety of that epic episode can also be heard here:

The broadcast version has been split into two sections for this release, the second part of which has also been slightly extended.

Pay what thou wilt or nothing at all.

Both albums are pay what you want at the moment direct from me

My band’s debut EP, “Tarantula Handsome Invite You To Live Deliciously” is available on digital and cassette. There’s also a two track lathe cut 7" available.

We’re a heavy glam, goth rock style band.

I love Bandcamp Friday, and want to support artists, but it’s time to have a conversation about the amount of spam that’s sent out each and every month.

I dread Bandcamp Friday now, because it’s an absolute nightmare for my inbox. I want to keep up with the artists I dig, but to have every artist I’ve ever so much as liked on Bandcamp “remind” me that it’s Bandcamp Friday, sometimes several times in a day, is nonsense.

boboter · 2023-11-03T13:46:06.837Z

Sadly one is almost forced to push things around that Friday as in the days before and after not much is happening in terms of sales. So it‘s either risking annoying people or leaving out an entire week or sales each month.

It certainly is not ideal.
