It's official we are heading into the biggest shit-show in human history. The U.N says there is no ‘credible pathway’ to staying under 1.5C (October 2022). Revolution is now inevitable, a great danger and a great opportunity to create a new revitalised democracy, or allow fascism to drag us all into hell.

Far from it being the end it's just the beginning, there's everything to play for but only if we organise and resist as if our lives depend upon it, because they do.

Roger Hallam has studied and designed social change for 35 years, he has initiated and helped run the biggest climate campaigns of the last decade he knows his stuff. This series details the theory and practice of a completely new way of reimagining and renewing society.

At this moment in time this is the most important podcast series in the world, even if few people get it; that it's now or never for humanity. Roger walks his talk. The first 13 podcasts episodes are recorded from prison.

We're talking about real change here, no more blah blah blah.

Lost Chimes are Gemma and Nicky Kirk.

Renowned for Gemma’s “sublime, outstanding voice” and spine-tingling live sound, the band produce music and site-specific perfromances that provoke, soothe and crystallise life.

2020 saw the release of their debut single, a pared-back, atmospheric cover of Joy Division’s, “Love will tear us apart”.

Their self-titled album was released in May 2021 - an alluring soundscape, filled with the ebb and flow of friends, family, life and loss.

2025 sees their eagerly awaited second record spring into life with visionary producer and multi-instrumentalist, Gerry Diver. (Graham Coxon, Lisa Knapp, Spiritualised, Tom Robinson, Shane MacGowan, Mundy, Van Morrison, Christy Moore).

Filled with compelling stories, intricate guitar work and stunning vocals, “Now I Swim” draws on the band’s family history and the collective memory of others.

Through interviews and reminiscence, they focus on healing intergenerational trauma as well as on ancestral strength, weaving tales of resilience and hope that transcend time and place.

Their first single "Something Different" was released on 28 February 2025 - an evocative anthem about how relationships evolve, adapt, and endure over time.

"Pick up the Pieces" (released 11 April) is a toe-tapping anthem explores the complexities of dysfunctional relationships, lives not fully lived and secrets shed on the way to the grave. 

Title track and album “Now I Swim” will be released on 6 June, accompanied by several high profile radio appearances including BBC Radio Four “Loose Ends” on 5 July 2025.

I've been writing and producing music since 1992, amassing a broad spectrum of what I'd describe as 'good quality listening music for the home and the head'.

To the uninitiated, my music is probably quite hard to categorize, as it ranges from blissful ambience through to deep, dubby beats, taking in electronica, pure pop songs and acoustic numbers along the way. Having been playing the piano (and various other bits and pieces) since my formulative years, I've always liked to improvise, messing around with chord structures and vocal harmonies. It was only when I took the plunge in the early nineties and invested in a small MIDI studio setup that I was able to realise some of those ideas. This resulted in a scramble of activity over the course of the next ten years, when I spent a good deal of time recording rough improvisations on whatever medium came to hand, whether that was cassette tape, DAT or MD. These improvisations either culminated in finished pieces, or if the groove or feeling wasn't there, they were either discarded, or put to use in future compositions. This way of working still informs much of my work these days, even with the advent of modern digital editing software : "I like to get a loop up and running that's 'doing it', and then just hit the record button and let the vibe take me away for about 15-20 minutes. Out of this, there's bound to be something that's useable - sometimes the whole thing is!"

My music eventually came to the attention of prolific producer Tom Middleton back in 2000. I'd produced a limited edition CD of material he'd been working on in 1999 (just 10 copies were pressed up!); one of which found its way to Tom and then by word of mouth to Pete Lawrence, co-curator of The Big Chill, a music and arts organisation based out of the UK. Pete signed alucidnation up to the then fledgling Big Chill Recordings label on the strength of 'I'm Not Bad', a ditty that I'd penned in a few hours. I ended up releasing two EPs and two LPs on the label, both sold well and were critically well-received.

With Pete Lawrence, I assembled and sequenced a Big Chill compilation ['Glisten'] that won a Time Out award. My music has also surfaced on plenty of compilations throughout the world, appeared on Grand Theft Auto and I've lent my hand to numerous remixes. I've collaborated with various composers of note, including Tom Middleton, Ulrich Schnauss, Pete Lawrence, Another Fine Day, The Verbrilli Sound, Pitch Black and many more. I run my own label, imaginatively called Lucid Recordings, and am signed to Interchill & Six Degrees Records. I am published by Faber.

I also spend a fair proportion of my time producing my weekly radio show for a number of radio stations throughout Europe called 'Eclectronica'.

I am working on tidy playlists..there is one for all my song-a-week and then other tidy playlists will follow ..it like a thrift shop of my songs..you gonna have to have a good rummage ..a great place for a demo  ( there is no such thing as a demo) is what I say. One day I will orgnise into tidy playlists. good luck - I will put the kettle one
