From Inner Room to Outer Space (New Ambient, Drone, Experimental Mix series)

 

From Inner Room to Outer Space is a regular new Mix / Podcast release from Andy N from Ocean in a Bottle.

Composing of all kinds of ambient, drone, experimental and field recordings, each mix will take the listener on a different journey from outer space in-between planets to forgotten oceans and forgotten corners of cities with layers of sounds and songs (some known and some forgotten) helping the listener build up a new channel of memories on each one.

Mix 1 contains tracks by Ocean in a Bottle, Jason Luxton (Overlook), Kevin Richard Martin (Kevin the Bug Martin, Techno Animal, God etc), the A.M Experiment with a re-imaginging of Talk Talk, Olga Wojciechowska, Jane Seasy, Kareen Lotfy, Pete Namlook and Klaus Schulze, Dead Voices on Air (Zoviet France related), Kōhachiro Miyata and Foehn.

Sonnets for Shakespeare reading

Not one for bigging myself up as I would much rather my words do that for themselves which I like to think they do, but the enclosed poem below has appeared as parts for the Sonnets for Shakespeare and I got invited to read it at the launch tonight.

I'll share the poem in a second but some of the comments I got were:

What really pleased me was the feedback I got afterwards which included the following praise:

There is such an anger in this work x

Sam Egelstaff

Outstanding!

Rebecca Salomonsson 

Very well performed, Andy

John F Keane 

A beautiful Volta/change of tone in the end x

Sam Egelstaff 

Very strong stuff Andy -and yes - vivid

Jenny Robb 

Nice one Andy

Ian Henery 

Well done - it was great.  Loved the simmering emotion in it!

Charlotte Kearns
