My copy of Philip Jeck & Chris Watson’s Oxmardyke arrived today and it’s truly wonderful, even if it’s also suffused with melancholy and fragility as one of Jeck’s last projects before his untimely death last year. The recordings are full of real and imagined crossings, bridges and transfers, a movement of air and sound from one realm to another. Highly recommended.

Chris' soundscapes enriched by the gentle touch of Philip, who died last year.

It is indeed #BandcampFriday and there's tons out there. Besides plenty of new/just released stuff I could recommend, I'll call your attention to #CabaretVoltaire veteran #ChrisWatson's fourth solo album, #ElTrenFantasma, from 2011. Celebrated (rightly) in the new subscriber-only podcast from #TheQuietus, it's a remarkable listen (wrote a review for it back then for the AMG): https://chriswatsonreleases.bandcamp.com/album/el-tren-fantasma

An extended #introduction...

I was an #immunologist for 20+ years. I found out which protein from which #OralBacteria causes your teeth to fall out. And how it does it.

I have lots of records. Fave artists?

Really enjoying the #Bandcamp recommendations that pop up in my feed. Great to click on them and hear something new while working on my laptop.

Thanks to @JohnAltringham and @iainsarjeant in particular for recent offerings.

One good turn deserves another, so here's one of my all-time favourite albums:
