Busy week this week or so here is a list of a few things which have come up over the past week or so:
1) Eat the Storms – A few weeks back I was featured on the excellent Poetry Podcast called “Eat the Storms” and was delighted to hear yesterday that Amanda my wife has now being featured on the last show in this current series

2) My band Ocean in a Bottle has a new track ‘Running into the oceans at Mars City to escape from Cicadas Broodx’ released on a new comp ran by several labels, but my Ocean in a Bottle is on the part by Camembert Electrique which can be found here

I have fairly recently relaunched my old project from my Hicc Records days, Distance (Similarish to Ocean in a Bottle but much free form drone noise) and was delighted to see they had selected a track for them too – this can be heard here

alfra00 who released the Distance did a preview of the four albums with a short mega mix of all 128 or so tracks into one 12 minute mix. I think I can hear bits from Distance and Ocean in a Bottle there. Either way, its interesting..

3) Have had it confirmed a another new track by Ocean in a Bottle and another track by Distance (Really starting to get going again with Distance it has to be said) are both appearing to appear on a new comp on Halloween by the wonderful aural films on 31st October 2021
See https://auralfilms.bandcamp.com/ for more details
4) Camembert Electrique also have a series of singles (or another various artists album) coming out before the end of the year on Silence and I have a 17 odd minute track lined up for release with him. This has had early comparisons to 2001 A Space Odyssey – I think you are all going to love this track too. They are also after tracks on Christmas for another Comp. I’ll be working on that this week.
5) Amanda and myself have both had emails come through today from Hannah Kate off Hannah Kate’s bookshelf for her 3 Minute Scares programme on her radio programme on North Manchester FM on Saturday 30th October advising we have both made the shortlist for it for this year. Personally I will be surprised if I win it, but I am still very honored and touched to be shortlisted and will certainly be tuning it. The radio programme can be tuned into on Saturday 30th October from 2pm to 4pm at https://northmanchester.fm/ (Hannah Kate also does a backup on Mixcloud afterwards at https://www.mixcloud.com/Hannahs_Bookshelf/) and her website which explains more is https://hannahkate.net/3-minute-scares/)
Listings to follow on more Spoken Label to follow (Plenty going on)
