Back with something old

So I haven't posted on this here blog for awhile but things have been busy as I've relocated from Falmouth to the dizzying heights of Bristol. Anyway I should be getting more active with my sound experiments now I'm a bit more settled. I have a lot of recordings I need to listen through and tag and I've got a few ideas going on, but today I put something together I had been meaning to do for ages but kept forgetting.

   Talkingmakesnosense - Volumes In G (Sicily mix) by miles out in the field

This is the result of a recording I made whilst stopping at an organic farm in Sicily in the summer of 2009, the track is playing out of a small stereo in the kitchen whilst I sat outside. I think my original intention was to use it as an opening for a mix series I was occasionally doing at the time (look at the exploration of ambience stuff on my soundcloud) but I never got round to it I suppose. Anyway it brings back great summer memories for me of the intense midday sun, dusty grounds, hammocks, weather vanes, vineyards, old tool sheds, sleeping out in the open air, and so on and so on. The artist Talkingmakesnosense is also terrific, so do check him out.

Cheers, more stuff soon.
