My car is the only place I can listen to CDs. Every so often we swap the CDs that have been in the car for ages. A few months ago I put Moloko's Do You Like My Tight Sweater?, Cerys Matthews' Cockahoop and Björk's Post in the car and, man alive I've never been so inspired.

Something about listening to these three albums did something to me. I started off making beats, choosing movie samples, and experimenting with samples.

This album is everything I love in the world, all smashed together. Disparate things all smooshed into one until they go. I imagined Cerys, Björk, and Róisín (with whom I share a surname) getting in a time machine to go to Studio 54 - but Studio 54 has its own time machine where they can get 90s 12 inch records.

This album also features three of my best friends: Rani, Tamsin, and GT. I'm a folk band with them, we're called Every Home Should Have One.

Cerys made me realise I should be celebrating my Welshness. So I did.

Björk made me realise you should explore every genre and type of music you like. So I did.

Róisín made me realise you can take a tiny little idea, and make it into something glorious. So I did. I hope.

I wish I could actually go to Studio 54 with these three icons, sadly I don't have a time machine.This is the best thing I have ever made.

Mirtazapine Dreams

I've been listening to nothing but Aphex Twin and Björk b-sides and remixes for a week. This is the result.

My nephew Sampuran did the original drawing for the cover.

Cardigan / Cigfran

Double A side single from my forthcoming album Prospero Says - inspired by Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Percussion and vocals provided by the wonderful Bethan M Jenkins.

Such Stuff / Boatswain

Earlier in the year I rewatched Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books, and John Gielgud's call of "boatswain" inspired me. I actually saw the 24 books used in the film at an exhibition in Swansea's Glyn Vivian gallery in the 90s, and the story stuck with me all these years.

Lots of my favourite artists have made things in homage to Shakespeare. Peter Greenaway, Derek Jarman, Michael Nyman, Baz Luhrmann, Prokofiev, Cole Porter, Dylan Thomas.

My favourite of Shakespeare's plays are the most avantgarde, and have inspired the most avantgarde works - Peter Greenaway and Derek Jarman especially.

This album comes with a zine (a foldable version and PDF version).

And now, our revels are ended...

ASMR Andy - Bruised sleep

So I've been listening to a lot of 90s breakbeat and novelty rave tunes. I was about 14 when "toytown techno" became a thing. I absolutely LOVED Trip to Trumpton and Sesame's Treet. The Kaos Theory compilations were some of the best tunes I'd ever heard at that point.

So I made some of my own!

Had a blast making this. Hope you like it.
