My Terror Is Your Terror

Idk tbh

Graeme Miller
Comet In Moominland
(FKR111) Finders Keepers Records

Release date: 3rd June 2022

From deep in the heart of Moomin Valley, frozen in time for many midwinters passed, comes a genuine treasure chest of never heard Moomin melodies and instrumental comet songs composed for the continued animated adventures of our Fuzzy-Felt freak folk friends who disappeared from UK TV pastures in the mid-1980s. From the top of the Hobgoblin's Hat and the bottom of Snufkin's satchel, original Moomin's composer Graeme Miller (The Carrier Frequency) kindly shares this patchwork selection of spellbinding sound poems and percussive peons made using the very same selection of ocarinas, kalimbas, miniature squeak boxes, Waspy synths, cornflake box shakers and a seemingly endless array of talent and lo-fi home studio trickery.

Regarded as one of the most enigmatic, beguiling and haunting imported children’s programmes to ever grace UK TV screens, The Moomins was one of the first-ever commissions by Anne Wood (The Teletubbies) who ingeniously replaced the original Polish/Austrian/Finnish soundtrack with homemade music experiments by unknown post-punk theatre students Graeme Miller and Steve Shill (aka The Commies From Mars) who after the screening of two unforgettable series in 1983 and 1985 were left in eager anticipation of rescoring further Moomin adventures with new melodies, arrangements and sound designs which then lingered in the ether waiting until the Groke awoke and Snorkmaiden sang once more. With future felt adventures screened exclusively in Poland and Germany for many years (often as feature films) these unheard recordings are the only genuine musical sequel to the bizarre UK version of The Moomins and stand as important inclusions the Graeme Miller's own portfolio of theatrical theme music and sound installations as part of The Impact Theatre Cooperative including collaborations with artists and writers such as Russell Hoban. Witnessed in fragmented form during a short run of incredible rare live screenings at The Barbican Theatre and various film festival this record marks the first time this music has been heard in its original full-length form, free from sound effects, dialog and whimpers of euphoric joy and nostalgia from those who have continued to crave the company of our Moomintrolls and their mysterious music over the last five decades.

Erin Wake - If you could feel that gently [CD pre-order]

Tell me the plan, and I’ll be there with you 
It’s not so different, can’t you see 
It doesn’t matter what we do 

In the morning you’ll be off 
Before I even see you go 
And when I sleep there’s nothing there 
It doesn’t matter if I hold you close 

It’s not so different, it isn’t fair
I’ll give you my hand, don’t be scared
I feel naked in the very worst way 
I tried to be strong, but still I’m afraid 

Of the nothing when I’m asleep

AMBIENT SOUNDSCPES INSPIRED BY THE WRITINGS OF FRANK HERBERT AND HIS DUNE UNIVERSE

SPICE:  IN THE NAME OF THE GODS

“Through Space & Time” was written during the Depression chapter of “While They Were Sleeping,” and it belongs to the story of my mother a tribute to her love, her fire, and her place in the cosmos of who I am.

This is more than music. It’s memory turned celestial. A way to honor her when words fell short. The melody floats like starlight because that's how I remember her quiet strength, deep sorrow, a gravity I still orbit.

Even when we were oceans apart in silence, in misunderstanding she was still my home. This piece is for her. For everything she carried. For the light she gave me, even when she had so little left for herself.

“Through Space & Time” is the sound of missing someone who never truly left. It’s the sound of love, cosmic and complicated. And eternal.

Imagine, if you will, a foreboding homemade electro-acoustic, new age, synth driven, proto-techno, imaginary world music Portastudio soundtrack for a Polish-made animated fantasy based on a Finnish modern folk tale and created for German and Austrian TV, composed in 1982 by two politically driven post-punk theatre performers from a shared house in Leeds!

To even the most perspicacious and adventurous of alternative music fans the genuine bloodline of this previously unreleased record already begins to sound like an entire record collection in one sitting. It would be surprising if this project's ambitious and exotic credentials didn't tick at least one box on your musical matrix and without one drop of unnecessary nostalgic hyperbole this project already sounds like the perfect fantasy record that you've never heard. Alternatively we could just say The Moomins and, for many, things would instantly begin to make perfect sense.

From the same social landscape as Gang Of Four, The Mekons and Impact Theatre Co-operative - armed with a Wasp synthesiser, an ocarina and a cassette of the Robinson Crusoe music taped off the TV, Graeme Miller and Steve Shill used minimum means for maximum mayhem, instilling over 35 years of dreamlike illusory fuzziness and freakiness into the memories of a generation of school age TV addicts waiting for the next 5 minute fix of outernational fuzzy felt folklore. Collected here, all in one place for the first time, Finders Keepers in close collaboration with the original composers finally bring the original homemade micro-melodies and reintroduce them to a musical landscape where fans of vintage electronics, concrète tape effects, pocket percussion and domestic synths are finally ready to be reunited with the magnetic music of Moominvalley.

The Moomins Theme

@Mechatok returns this month with a shimmering new project titled ‘All My Time’.

And today we’re excited to premiere A-side track ’12 Years’. Coming in at just under four minutes, the captivating cut skips between club and pop nuances, fuelled by raw, magnetic energy and emotional intimacy.
