Ah yes - this beautiful invocation from Michael Begg that grew out of the bad old days of Covid, when we were all so thrown apart. This went in the other direction......

140 musicians contributed to the endless embrace. Four years on and still reaching out. Always Free. Be Mine in Patience, Black Glass Ensemble and Friends... soundcloud.com/blackglassen...

#NowPlaying Very rich, nocturnal, evocative.

Live recordings can be hit and miss, what sounds great in a venue with the mix adjusted to its acoustics doesn't always translate well beyond that. Michael Begg's new live release, featured in the latest edition of A Duck in a Tree, is one that does. Get the podcast version here: bit.ly/431tEfy

Review of the day:

Released this morning, only on Bandcamp. Michael Begg live at Cafe Oto 30 / IX / 2016. My set from the event celebrating 35 years of Colin Potter's ICR label. omnempathy.bandcamp.com/album/michae...

God, this place is bleak.

SO3E08 RIP Now it's dark.

In this wonderful salute to Colin Potter’s ICR, @abulmogard dedicates a full ROVR playlist to the label. In among gems from NWW, Coleclough, Monos, Chalk, Mouldycliff, Wishart, Bradley I am represented by ‘Daubigny’s Reverie’ and I am damn happy to be there. Grazie! www.rovr.live/show/4547

Any Spem is a good spem and this is wonderful, hurry hurry

Today is your last chance to hear Michael Begg's gorgeous arrangement of Spem In Alium...... the tree comes down tonight, and so does the track, as per annual custom....

A new year. A new you.

A new year evolution – we'd like some new intros and outros for our radio show. Examples here: zovietfrance.podbean.com

Something special for today's #CDFriday, the 'Salt Garden' trilogy by Fovea Hex (@foveahex.bsky.social), with all the accompanying bonus remix CDs.

Not many people know that Percy and Fovea Hex collaborated on this haunting track -and it's BANDCAMP FRIDAY, folks! When the lovely folk at Bandcamp waive their commission for 24 hrs so we actually get paid directly..... foveahex.bandcamp.com/track/neithe...
