Modular Minitronics

As much as I enjoy taking my time on a project and working with all the options open to us now with computer technology, there's also a lot to be said for spontaneity. Working on things quickly, just seeing what happens and... basically... just making a noise for the sake of it. So, I've been recording a collection of miniatures called 'Modular Minitronics'; a set of spontaneous, all-electronic four-track recordings.

I won't get too technical here, but because it's all done in a very old-school way, there are no computers or advanced editing or any of that stuff. There was a lot of bouncing down of tracks and basically 'playing over the top of other stuff' in a very primitive way. Limited, yes, rough, yes, primitive... refreshing, definitely.

Have a listen. If you know of anyone who might want to issue these on vinyl, let me know. ;)) Or I might expand the set and do a release on Cafe Kaput if the interest is there.

Hope you enjoy.

Look what I sneaked from the satchel...

One of the great things about helping run the Belbury vicarage is that I get to pinch little bits of merchandise out of the Curious Brown Leather Satchel ™ when Rev. Jim isn't looking. Sometimes I'm caught red-handed (and subsequently reprimanded). This time, I got lucky (Rev. Jim had nipped out for some cat food, so he was quite some time).

These badges are beautiful little things and I can reveal they will be coming soon to the << Ghost Box shop >> as a set *. The perfect item for the Ghost Box fan who has everything.

And no, I'm not putting them back - these are definitely mine.

* Academic scarf not included.

Study Series 07 release day!

Exciting! It's officially release day for the Pye Corner Audio / Advisory Circle single. The vinyl is thick and positively chewy. I've still got the teeth marks on my copy to prove it. Hope you all enjoy. Venture forth to the << Ghost Box shop >> whilst stocks last!
