that's a really nice one Kath, compliments!

Very impressive melody, something which gives me associations to a expressionistisk version of Pärt's ritual style.

to love something that will die

to suffer without sorrow

to exist beautifully and quietly

(on being a nonhuman
and on loving one)

@yara-said-4, AKA Noise Diva, graces a new @raghoulmusic comp with wistful, noise-flecked melancholia.

A statement of intent from the Moroccan label, ‘Crocodile Tears in a Reptilian World’ is a focused distillation of the label’s sonic scope. 9 tracks spanning ambient emissions, dubby dread and mutant rave ordnance.

Our pick finds the Amsterdam-based producer and Garage Noord resident in amorphous ambient mode. A sombre, textured sound experiment for pensive contemplation.

'Crocodile Tears In A Reptilian World' is out March 10th on raghoul.

On 25th May Ireland will vote on amending its restrictive abortion laws. I was asked by Room for Rebellion and C.A.N.V.A.S. to create a piece for a compilation in aid of pro-choice charities to be released prior to the referendum. For logistical reasons this compilation won’t be released until later in the year, so I’ve decided to share the piece now, a week away from the referendum.

If you’re an Irish citizen or resident, please donate to Together for Yes:
https://www.togetherforyes.ie/donate/
If you’re not an Irish citizen or resident, please donate to Abortion Support Network or Alliance for Choice: https://www.asn.org.uk  http://www.alliance4choice.com/donate-2/

ABOUT THE PIECE:

“I am an old woman now, with one foot in the grave and the other on its edge.” 

Like most people of my generation, I studied the work of Peig Sayers (1873-1958) at school and the opening lines of her 1936 autobiography "Peig" are burned into my consciousness. "Peg 2018" takes those opening lines as a starting point, but departs immediately from the original, imagining the reflections of an entirely different, fictional Peg, an Irishwoman born in the 1950s. 

NOTE: The piece in no way represents the views of Peig Sayers or her descendants.
CONTENT ADVISORY: Material may be distressing for some listeners.
