Peter Chilvers

Weird, I was trying to work out if Brian had ever been to Glastonbury (I’m guessing not), and this was one of the first results on Google.

Thank you! We were originally just thinking of some images to add atmosphere, but it became something of a love letter to the fens. It’s a wonderful landscape to lose yourself in.

Lovely piece! I like the typo too, I think Theo should change his name to “The Travis” from now on. Has an element of bling to it.

YouTube video by Curious Music Gathering Dust (4K) with Peter Chilvers. Film by Dion Johnson.

Curious Music wanted to make an atmospheric music video, a live performance, and an interview explaining how a track was made. So filmmaker Dion Johnson and I set about doing all three simultaneously: youtu.be/BhntdvhURVk?...

Very pleased to announce Dust4, my first full length album for Curious Music, alongside stunning coloured vinyl editions of the Dust 1-3 EPs. www.curiousmusic.us

Thanks Rodney - great photos! Nice to see you there.

Thank you - so pleased you’re enjoying it!

Quite! It was unexpected though, by me at least. I hadn’t thought beyond making an experimental music device, but we quickly started getting messages from carers of autistic children as well as dementia patients. And many, many parents getting children to sleep…

I’m a bit late stumbling across this post, but thank you! I’m wary of making any bold claims about Bloom, but we’ve had anecdotal reports of people with advanced dementia responding well to it. One non-verbal patient started happily singing along with it, which was very moving.

Small world! I joined MI in 94, I think, and was on Creatures a year or so later. Maybe we met!

I had one of the weirder moments in a weird life last night when I realised that the Black Mirror episode Playthings was inspired by Creatures, a game I worked on in the 90s. Charlie Brooker reviewed it at the time, and apparently it stuck in his head.

I’ve always found monarchies a bit too ruly.

I was searching for a word to meaning “having as few rules as possible” and realised how literal “unruly” is. Never struck me before. Isn’t language marvellous?

Can I interest you in buying my vintage fork collection?

This collaboration between Nils Frahm and Robert de Niro is currently playing on 6 Music. A 15 minute mixture of grainy folk orchestra and spoken word. Absolutely stunning.

I’m delighted to have enhanced the blopfest!

SINGLES €5 each: 'WE DREAM ALL THE DARK AWAY', Abul Mogard's stunning remix of 'All Those Signs', our hymn to the hubris of climate denial; 'THE GLACIAL LAKE' (2 tracks): Peter Chilvers' delicate and beautiful remix of this song, as well as the original track; THE SLOW SLOW AIR, a fugue-like homage to the Irish slow air; HAIL HOPE(2 tracks): Hail Hope is a rousing anthem for anyone whose heart is sinking in darkening times, and Carol reframes darkness as "Mother of Light"; COCKLES AND MUSSELS is a beautiful deconstruction/reconstruction by Matmos, in tribute to Alan Turing, of the famous Irish song, sung by Clodagh. (Faced with imminent trial on charges of gross indecency, he insisted upon playing it on the violin for the police officers who came to his home to take his statement).

I’m enjoying the refreshing optimism of believing the world will still be standing in 2032.

I don’t think I can go sadly - shame, that does look very much my cup of tea.

I probably should have mentioned that before posting about the 1972 blocked window thing.

There’s a new Brian Eno remix of our app Bloom available on all streaming platforms. Bloom: Living World is an hour long studio reworking of a Bloom performance, adding new treatments and sounds.

A glorious glimpse of the Britain I was born into. A beautiful insight into the era that produced Monty Python.

I didn't realise Brian Eno had worked with Marianne Faithfull, contributing synthesiser, effects and arrangement to this bleakly beautiful track from her album with

I’m hoping that she calls her next album “Marquis de Sade”.

@bob-boilen.bsky.social Nice to (kind of) meet you this evening. Thanks for being the first to play Bloom all those years ago!

I’ve just had it confirmed that I correctly remembered a joke by @boothbygraffoe.bsky.social despite only seeing him perform live once, thirty years ago. If that’s not a good recommendation I don’t know what is…

That was supposed to be “I correctly remembered”. Stupid autocorrect…
