I could imagine buying SKURA in a moment of weakness thought not fully keen on the idea of buying MP3s.

The new Richard Skelton, Verses Of Birds, is fantastic, very striking and rich but rather dreamy at the same time.

is there any overlap with the Oramics 2xcd thing?
(have been to see the oramics machine in the science museum a couple of times now. but am not entirely convinced by what i've heard of the actual recorded output)

SKURA dvd: is it a case of just putting the disc in your computer and then ripping to another format to play? is the package nice?
― djh, Monday, 2 July 2012 20:46 (10 months ago) Permalink
packaging is fairly nice iirc. dvd is properly tagged mp3 files, just drag and drop to your computer.

Pleased with SKURA although I'd probably have preferred finished CDs.
The new album is very good, too.

Working my way through SKURA.
Any thoughts on it?

SKURA was fifty quid well spent. Some beautiful stuff on there - though I have to confess I had to copy it all onto CD.

Michael Tanner on his new album:
The Cloisters, Michael reveals, was conceived during a time of deep personal dissatisfaction with the drone/ambient/classical minimalist ‘scene’ – one seemingly populated by “the same 30 blokes, making the same music in Ableton [loop-based music software], more often than not sporting the same beard. It was made under an awareness that I was lumped in with them, and internalising if/how I was really so different. It became an attempt to see if I could retain the style of music I’ve been making for 12 years now, but still try and get out of the box, so to speak.”
Never really thought about the process behind making this music and/or Ableton. Can we name the 30 blokes?

There's another Skelton album, too, by the way.
― djh, Tuesday, 6 November 2012 18:39 (6 months ago) Permalink
More importantly can we name the beard?

Haven't managed to work out who any of these bearded people might be.
