Lovely to finally visit @FilmLeigh last night at @SpinnersMill @LeighFilm! A labour of love to be sure, but great to see what has become of the bare space I saw in March 2020; little did any of us know then what was just around the corner! Banshees of Inisherin hit the spot too!
Looks like Wiganβs finest @_tvam are playing @RamsgateMH tonight!! Would love to be there! Have fun one and all and @Indiefangurl @154wire
An extremely difficult morning was mitigated to some small degree by completing two more stereo remixes for @blackopalband this afternoon - My Siren & Southern Skies today #survivingadoption #everydaycreativity #creativityforwellbeing

βThe creative element in [humans] is the root both of [their] personality & [their] society; it can neither be confined to art nor excluded from the systems of decision (i.e. politics) and maintenance (i.e. economics).β - Raymond Williams, The Long Revolution [1/2]
A song I wish Iβd written because it does all the things I love: @PorcupineTreeβs .3 β¦
The most beautiful song about a tragedy: Heart Attack in a Lay-by β¦
All round superb suite of music: In Absentia
Just sayinββ¦
Todayβs sun-drenched musical inspiration before some more @blackopalband new-song remixing is the beautiful inspirational soundscape of @TimBowness & @giancarloerraβs Memories of Machines! Perfect music for shafts of sunlight sneaking through the blindsβ¦ at the centre of it all
Hey, @Indiefangurl & @154wire! After a bit of polishing, tidying, tweaking and editing, No Pressure turns out to be one hell of a epic @blackopalband track!! π€π»#theonethatnearlygotaway
Warming up for the next batch of @blackopalband new song remixing today in a sun-drenched room with arguably the finest album of the year so far, @slowreadersclubβs Knowledge Freedom Power
In between doing some stereo remixes of @blackopalbandβs 12 new post-lockdown demos -Kick & Breathe- I have been listening to @OfficialOMDβs groundbreaking Architecture & Morality (1st LP I bought) & Dazzle Ships, @Sian_Kosheenβs timeless Kokopelli & the new Depeche Mode album

'Everything we see & do, the whole structure of our relationships & institutions, depends, finally, on an effort of learning, description & communications. We create our human world as we have thought of art being creative' - Raymond Williams, *The Long Revolution*

'The emphasis that matters is that there are, essentially, no '"ordinary" activities, if by "ordinary" we mean the absence of creative interpretation & effort. Art is ratified, in the end, by the fact of creativity in all our living.' - Raymond Williams
