Nice to see Playback Head included in this beautiful collection of tracks.

No words to describe the beauty of this event. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially Ben and Raf and all the Hotham Sound artists. ☀️

Hey folks, response to this show has been bigger than anticipated and tickets are almost sold out. If you're still planning on coming but don't have a ticket, grab one before they're gone. At this point we have no way of guaranteeing there will be any available at the door.

See you on the Island!

Ten years is a long time. Come celebrate with us. Eat food, drink wine, listen to music, play in the sun, pass out, travel through time, have a religious experience, go home with a giant commerative poster.

Playback Head, by Alexandre Klinke 13 track album

It's Bandcamp Friday, and an opportunity to call attention to an older album of mine: the music score for the short film Playback Head (2019). This was the album that sent me on the path of ambient music, and the following projects using that name.

Hard to believe but 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Hotham Sound Recordings. To celebrate we've released a massive free comp featuring favorites from our first decade. If you're curious, this is a killer introduction to the label.

The Logic of Destruction And how to resist it

For those who like sense-making, @timothysnyder.bsky.social is an important voice rn. An authority on the history of Europe, Soviet Union, and the Holocaust he brings an informed analysis of where we are and what would get us off the pathway to authoritarianism. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Thanks for listening!!

Winter is pretty too.

This was definitely a highlight for me last year, playing music at Vancouver Public Library. Here is the full set of the show: vimeo.com/1043166788?s...

Thanks to Ben Wylie and the folks at the Library! An amazing initiative to bring ambient music to a large crowd in this beautiful public space.

I enjoyed listening to the music video for Body of Water in 4D Sound yesterday at Lobe (Vancouver). The bass was shaking the floor, and water sounds enveloping the whole room.

An additional screening time has just been added to Sonic Dreamlands, as the 7:30 show was sold out. If you’re interested, it will be this Thursday, Dec 12, 5pm at Lobe Studio.

After the amazing opportunity to play at VPL a few days ago, on Thursday the video for Body of Water will be screened at Lobe Studio (in 4D Sound!), and Saturday I will be back at Red Gate, performing alongside a stellar lineup.

Big thanks as always to Audiopile Records for the stellar writeup on our new release. We're sold out on the bandcamp but they've still got a few copies available and they ship!
