Like the way the song modulates and the sequences weave in and out of prominence through this middle portion.

damn this is fuckin crazy-good dude, just wow!

chill island also loves this track very much!

Digging the flow and the use of samples...

havin Observatory night right now here in Sweden. Tonights theme: Observatory.

TUL8TE - Wahashteeny I تووليت - وحشتيني

جنّنوني عينيه
جنّنوني عيونِك دولا
شُفتهم حنّيت
بعده ما حبّيت
بيسألوني عليه
بيسألوني عليكي لسه
أرُد أقول أنا إيه
أرُد بس بإيه


قول يا حبيبي حاسس بإيه
بعد الغياب لمّا فات يوم أو يومين
شوف يا حبيبي جرالي إيه
بسأل عليكي وعينيكي تاهوا مني فين

حسّيت بإيه
حسّيت بحيرة ولّا غيرة ولّا إيه
أيام طويلة كنا فين وبقينا فين
ده العمر من غيرك حبيبي يسوى إيه
قوليلي ليه وكلميني عن حياتك حبتين
ده بعد بُعدِك قلبي حبّك مرتين
والدنيا بعدِك حادفة قلبي بين نارين

Ezoic
حبيبي قاعد مستني
وبنار الهوى عشمان فيه
هفضَل أنا مشتاق ليه نرجع سوا
لو ع اللي فات بس إنسي
نار الفراق هتنسيه
المرّة دي مش همشي هنرجع سوا

قول يا حبيبي حاسس بإيه
بعد الغياب لمّا فات يوم أو يومين
شوف يا حبيبي جرالي إيه
بسأل عليكي وعينيكي تاهوا مني فين

Ezoic
ما تقول يا حبيبي حاسس بإيه
بعد الغياب لمّا فات يوم أو يومين
شوف يا حبيبي جرالي إيه
بسأل عليكي وعينيكي تاهوا مني فين

Inspired by early micro-computers, this track is probably my most tech-influenced to date but don't let that put you off. Programming the drums on this one was enormous fun.

PLEASE NOTE: My SoundCloud account was compromised on 11th Feb 2019 and 264 false plays of this track, Micro, were credited to my stats. If you wish to know how many plays this track has truly received at any given time, please deduct 264 from the total figure shown.

This is my contribution to @minimal_drone_grl's stunning remix album, Origins Remixed, released in September 2020. The full elpee, containing 15 remixes by 15 different artists of the tracks on her earlier long-player, Ancestral Origins - itself a completely mesmerising listen - can be found here:

I'm dedicating this number to the memory of my great friend of many years standing, Steve Finch, who tragically died during the period while I was working on this. Steve was a unique and special soul who will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, great mate. #hcafc #yccc

This brand new piece from yours truly was created during summer 2020 and takes its influences from many different directions but I'm particularly indebted to Jason Ross who has provided much of the inspiration with his insightful recommendations for listening, viewing and reading material, and through our many conversations over the past year; big respect, mate - you've influenced this tune more than you could imagine. Thanks also go to Jason for sourcing the untitled photograph by Sara Gossett on flickr.com.

Do masks protect?
	•	Neil Orr’s study, 1981 in the Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Dr. Orr was a surgeon in the Severalls Surgical Unit in Colchester. And for six months, from March through August 1980, the surgeons and staff in that unit decided to see what would happen if they did not wear masks during surgeries. They wore no masks for six months, and compared the rate of surgical wound infections from March through August 1980 with the rate of wound infections from March through August of the previous four years. And they discovered, to their amazement, that when nobody wore masks during surgeries, the rate of wound infections was less than half what it was when everyone wore masks. Their conclusion: “It would appear that minimum contamination can best be achieved by not wearing a mask at all” and that wearing a mask during surgery “is a standard procedure that could be abandoned.”
	•	Ritter et al., 1975, “the wearing of a surgical face mask had no effect upon the overall operating room environmental contamination.”
	•	Ha’eri and Wiley, 1980, applied human albumin microspheres to the interior of surgical masks in 20 operations. At the end of each operation, wound washings were examined under the microscope. “Particle contamination of the wound was demonstrated in all experiments.”
	•	Laslett and Sabin, 1989, “No infections were found in any patient, regardless of whether a cap or mask was used,” they wrote. Sjøl and Kelbaek came to the same conclusion in 2002.
	•	In Tunevall’s 1991  a general surgical team wore no masks in half of their surgeries for two years. After 1,537 operations performed with masks, the wound infection rate was 4.7%, while after 1,551 operations performed without masks, the wound infection rate was only 3.5%.
	•	A review by Skinner and Sutton 2001 “The evidence for discontinuing the use of surgical face masks would appear to be stronger than the evidence available to support their continued use.”
	•	Lahme et al., 2001, “surgical face masks worn by patients during regional anaesthesia, did not reduce the concentration of airborne bacteria"
	•	Figueiredo et al., 2001, in five years of doing peritoneal dialysis without masks, rates of peritonitis in their unit were no different than rates in hospitals where masks were worn.
	•	Bahli  2009 “no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative wound infection was observed between masks groups and groups operated with no masks.”
	•	Surgeons at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, “Our decision to no longer require routine surgical masks for personnel not scrubbed for surgery is a departure from common practice. But the evidence to support this practice does not exist,” wrote Dr. Eva Sellden.
	•	Webster et al., 2010, on obstetric, gynecological, general, orthopaedic, breast and urological surgeries performed on 827 patients. All non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries, and none of the non-scrubbed staff wore masks in half the surgeries. Infections occurred in 11.5% of the Mask group, and in only 9.0% of the No Mask group.
	•	Lipp and Edwards 2014  “no statistically significant difference in infection rates between the masked and unmasked group in any of the trials.” Vincent and Edwards updated this review in 2016 and the conclusion was the same.
	•	Carøe, 2014: 6,006 patients, wrote that “none of the four studies found a difference in the number of post-operative infections whether you used a surgical mask or not.”
	•	Salassa and Swiontkowski, 2014, “there is no evidence that these measures [masks] reduce the prevalence of surgical site infection.”
	•	Da Zhou et al., 2015, “there is a lack of substantial evidence to support claims that facemasks protect either patient or surgeon from infectious contamination.”

no masks (FREE DL)

"At the farthest extremities of the electromagnetic spectrum, way beyond the realm of visible light, further even than the mysterious infra-red frequencies, lurk countless, unheard communications from distant worlds....."

"Autumn Equinox" is the result of my overhauling "Radio And Microwave", a tune that I originally put out over a year ago. I've been working on this new version sporadically throughout autumn 2020 - hence the title - even though it's now technically in winter that I've finally got around to finishing it. It's inspired by, well, autumn, which is by some distance my favourite season of the year.

The artwork is an original piece by the enigmatic collage artist, Harl Vind, entitled "Consumed By The Waves".

Our share of night to bear -
Our share of morning -
Our blank in bliss to fill,
Our blank in scorning -

Here a star, and there a star,
Some lose their way!
Here a mist - and there a mist -
Afterwards - Day!

Inspired by late-night conversations and assembled over many months from disparate musical fragments, Love! Love! Peace! Beauty! is an ode to freedom, tolerance and bliss.

I owe massive credit to Mike B for providing the wonderful electric guitar stylings on this piece and to Jason Ross for sourcing the spoken word sample and the photo image. Brilliant work, gents - I owe you both, big time.

Love! Love! Peace! Beauty!

Wieder

The evocatively named Cold Wold is an area of arable high ground, located roughly between the villages of Millington and Warter in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This relatively unspoilt chalkland region is great for walking, running or whatever else takes your fancy at pretty much any time of the year. I'm constantly inspired by the quiet, gentle landscapes of the Yorkshire Wolds and I only hope I've been able to do them some sort of justice with this relaxed piece of electronica.

The photograph is by Peter Church.

Cold Wold

I make lo-fi, melodic, instrumental electronica, conceived, composed and recorded using only a laptop and a digital audio workstation (currently Ableton Live 11).

Due to domestic constraints, I work entirely on headphones so it probably follows that my recordings are best appreciated via the same medium.

When you've finished here, why not take a look at my videos on YouTube or head over to Twitter to see if I've uttered anything profound recently? (I probably haven't but you never know...)

Many thanks for visiting. Please come back again soon.
