Tiny Leaves

R.I.P. Éliane Radigue, one of the most innovative and radical composers of our century- if you haven’t heard her music yet, prepare for something simultaneously delicate and oceanic. I don’t love the word “genius” but she deserves it.

The cassette tape loops used during some of the live set, captured in his photography documenting this night are rarely seen and beautiful to see…

A welcome return to the stage, beautifully captured by Marcus Hartt at Lunar Lakes #Shropshire. More to follow on this for Substack subscribers soon here: beautifulnoise.substack.com

It’s #BandcampFriday so to celebrate I’ve made ALL my music and merch 50% off - that’s just £9 for some vinyl, £5 for CDs and lots more only for the next 24hrs: Share the love & spread the word! @bandcamp.com #shropshire

It’s totally bewildering. What is going on?!

That’s encouraging & a remarkable achievement @theanchoress.bsky.social ! There is also the adage that BC updated their Ai policy to protect music makers (brilliant), It makes me consider take downs from Spotify, moving towards mostly BC releases…

It’s increasingly concerning. Have you seen success from DiS mailing lists previously bs socials?

The concern is how will independent artists on a shoe string reach fans and share updates if this is going to be the norm for platforms. For some I wonder if mailing lists will become the only means to update fans with news releases and events.

I feel like there needs to be a healthy conversation about the new uk Instagram no ads subscription service (or you’re an ad target if you don’t pay). Is there a wider conversation across the uk arts and music community about the implications of this?

I’m filled with anxiety & 100 unrelenting worries, so, I’m in bed reading & listening to Above/below by @tinyleaves.bsky.social. Spotify recently told me this was my most listened to track in 2025. No surprise, it’s so beautiful. Always lifts my spirits and gives me hope.

Anthropocene

Following a much-needed escape to the coast and idle days of rest and recovery, I set out on a solo musical pilgrimage to feed the muse. An August reset. My latest sub is up: beautifulnoise.substack.com/p/a-musical-...

@gidcoe.bsky.social thanks for keeping me company as I traversed the unlit winding roads and over south Shropshire wondering if I’d find my way home! It’s always an education & love the breadth of your 6music shows.

Thank you @hannahpeel.bsky.social Beaut to catch this live and for the mention of BBC Radio 3 Night Tracks @saramohrpietsch.bsky.social @hayfestival.bsky.social !!!

52 Albums To Shape A Soul : #33 U2 – Achtung Baby (1991)

This is the only U2 album I like substack.com/home/post/p-... but this piece is about so much more than about music. It’s a wonderful article on the beauty of musical connection. For my wife & I it’ll be the time I took her to see Radiohead (2003). There There remains OUR song

*CALLING GRASSROOTS MUSIC MAKERS* My best advice for independent artists & labels right now is to get an account at Amazing Radio and upload your music there. Loads of professional radio pluggers are now doing this to add traction & profile for their new releases. Crucially, you don't have to be a 'new' or 'emerging' artist - or even based in the UK - to qualify. Of course if you ARE any of those things, you should definitely be uploading to BBC Introducing as well, for all the reasons I've been banging on about for years. But my top tip is to consider uploading your tunes to Amazing as well. Since the station plays new music 24/7 it offers a greater chance of airplay, an international reach, an outlet for your videos, and the chance to sell your tunes direct to listeners. And it's dirt cheap: an artist account only costs three quid a month for unlimited uploads - from anywhere in the world. Try it for a couple of months and I reckon you'll find it's the best £6 you ever spent... See Linktree in biog for URL. @amazingradiouk @amazingradio
