collecting field recordings, working with digital, analogue, and modular synthesis, deep listening, and exploring the origins of musicians of influence have been my practice and refuge for over 20 years.

in these distracting times, I'm drawn to present longer-form experiences that give rise to rest, relaxation, and reflection.

Yes Blythe uses cassette tapes and guitar pedals to create dark soundscapes; cavernous drones with underlying melodies. New album 'Keep The Faith' out now on Baptists & Bootleggers

Sacred Tapes was formed with the intention of producing a large output of short run releases built with the ever increasing number of collaborations, side projects, live recordings and spin offs of the bands and musicians that make up Manchester's noise scene.

Sacred Tapes will map and document the shifting personalities and numerous cross-overs that envelope these musicians' expanding output and shifting focuses whilst introducing a select choice of work from further afield. As well as taking in a tight mix of noise related genres, expect to see various sound art and field recordings showcased on the label.
