Final bit of Birthday decade content for today. We were lucky to have the chance to create this live video recording of most of the album. If you want to relive the album and see our faces at the same time, this is your best option! :-) youtu.be/-glHoSrHdlA?si=AT7Z…

Well it feels crazy to say, but today it’s a very happy 10th (TENTH!!) birthday to our album The Shouting Cave. We had our launch party at the Old Hair Dresser’s in Glasgow September 27th 2014. open.spotify.com/album/4CBEm…

What a special event for us to be part of! 😱 After some Bartok and Gaelic tunes our musicians played and processed with Little Amal as she dragged a dead tree through Glasgow to highlight environmental destruction for her final event in Glasgow for #COP26 @walkwithamal 🥰

With the exciting news that we in Scotland can again travel outside our home towns, we thought we'd revisit one of our outdoor adventures! youtu.be/fLzGBA_Vn2k
We're excited to share @AlexHoComposer's Breathe and Draw next Thurs 18 Feb @ 7pm on YouTube + FB 😍 Here are a few of the drawings from our recording. These drawings become graphic scores for the musicians to improvise on. How would you interpret these on your instrument...? 🤩

They say there's no cure for covid, but I find that watching this video on repeat temporarily suspends the symptoms.
Gonna tell my grandchildren this was Guns N Roses

We're having a sale! We've still a few physical copies of The Shouting Cave left and we want them to go to loving homes! turningplates.bigcartel.com
Today we're taking a look back at one of our favorite creations. Fun Fact... we actually filmed a whole other sequence in one of our flats, but on reflection we decided it worked better to keep it all in one world!
I've been reminded this week of the amazing mindful experience of screen-time free listening to an album from start to finish... if ever there was a good lockdown habit to start!
Happy final POTUS Trump day. Joe we're available to play tomorrow but will have to be over Zoom! Soz pal!
If you're enjoying the album's birthday celebrations, this video for Wild Roots is nearing a new power of 10 views. youtu.be/fLzGBA_Vn2k
