Flashback to that time Alan Titchmarch genuinely tried to gaslight the entire country that we were a mushroom in the Telegraph…

Fragments & Fantasies (A Piano Interlude), by Ben Bell 12 track album

It's International Piano Day!

To mark the occasion here is an EP of piano performances recorded at home on an acoustic piano.

Someone cannier with marketing may have said something like, "This is the soundtrack of life at Ben Bell's home." Silly sods.

Yamaha SU7 piano with three microphones pointing at it.

For all the convenience of digital instruments, sometimes you can't beat miking up a really nice acoustic piano.

But what's this all in aid of? Stay tuned...

Es ist einfach wahr: "Winter's Mourning" von @gandalfsfist.bsky.social ist einer der schönsten #ProckRog -Weihnachtssongs, die es gibt. 🎄

The history of Patchwork Studios is a history of Bad Marketing Decisions, right back to the very first public announcements on July 1st 2013, where both Broken Parachute and Fusion Orchestra 2 released their albums on the same date.

Patchwork Studios needs all the publicity help we can get ;)

Cover of Patchwork Studios Volume 1 (2013 — 2024) compilation album.

Looks like most of Meta's platform is down right now. Sounds like the perfect time for @patchworkstudiosuk.bsky.social to announce the release of a compilation album covering the last eleven years, right?
