Handstitched* is thrilled to announce the next installment of the split-artist series, Ian Hawgood and Fields We Found feature alongside each other for an outing of outstanding musical composure and tranquility. 

Ian's music needs little introduction, with many releases and collaborations under his belt on numerous well-known labels - to say he's prolific is pretty close to the mark. Ian also curates the wonderful Home Normal label, here in the UK. "upward eyes" is seriene, slow-moving and hauntingly subtle, prolonged space fills the moments we frequently overlook and leaves time for reflection during a quiet time spent in an open space. We are honoured to have his debut EP "upward eyes" featuring on Handstitched*. 

Fields We Found has just released his outstanding album "Distance" on the lovely Seil Records, which has been on constant rotation here at Handstitched* over the past month - and the new EP "kindred" is equally as moving, graceful and bewitching. The equilibrium and expression within "kindred" is harmonious - and at the same time, quietly sonorous.

Fields We Found and Ian Hawgood are both welcomed to Handstitched* with many thanks and admiration for their respective musical works as part of the split-artist series, it's great to have them visiting Handstitched* for this special release.

Limited to 50 copies. Released on mini CD-r and sage green cassette with hand-made packaging, tape O-cards and unique designs for each CD package. [HS45/45T].

Maps and Diagrams - Occupying Space [album sampler]

A lot needs doing, and nothing gets done ! And the cursed bursted purse is barely fit for purpose. (Monomaniacal vestiges seem to hold their charge well). Meanwhile on the unexamined deathcult rollercoaster, solemn elliptical protocols are flaunted. Though it be the last iteration, the cursed bursted purse may yet be opened (if we can muster the protons). 


Thanks to: 
Hannah Ashman : Oboe
Ben Handysides: Drum set

Moog and Hammond organ improvisation at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, June 2025.
The Hammond is a little low in the mix, but it is there. I will return to this combo once the Hammond has returned from its dubious quarantine...

This is a demo of songs from my album of old songs of Russian and Ukrainian Jews of 100-200 years ago. It's an updated of version of the album "A Taste of the Old Country". The video demo on Youtube has received over 380,000 views to date. These are folksy, rustic instrumental arrangements of these delightful melodies, many of them rare and not standard klezmer fare. Check it out on my website at http://rebshaya.com

Ants In The Woods

Egg Fry #2, 15th March 2005. Originally released as a ltd edition Cdr on Cathnor Recordings, May 2009 (CV006).
In part, inspired by Chris Watsons' Cracking Viscera (from Outside the circle of fire, TO:37, a recording of a zebra carcass, flies and nine vultures), this stereo recording to minidisc of an egg frying was made in the kitchen of my home in Prestwich, near Manchester. 
I used a pair of cheap electret-condenser mikes from maplin (RIP!), these were the only mikes I've used that were capable of withstanding the heat around the frying pan. Since then, they have both ceased to function. Because of this, it is my second and currently last recording of an egg frying and cooling down.  
Apart form some rather annoying traffic noise (almost unavoidable, as I live near a main road and a motorway junction), I was astounded, upon re-listening, at the level and density of sonic activity within this 'sound-scape in a pan'. Repetitive sound events introduce themselves then develop and morph through time, new events emerge leading to a subtle crescendo, then slowly fade as the ring, pan and egg cool.
