There is a moor within the city of York, but it wasn’t until I heard its name that I determined to spend an afternoon recording alone... on Hob Moor.
An ancient common land, the moor is home to many species of wildflower, grasses, Harebell and Common Sorrel, English Elm and Hazel too alongside Meadow Pipits, Skylarks, Rooks and Merlins.
However, in 2019 a new visitor was discovered... a species of plasmodal slime was found to have the ability to successfully negotiate experimental mazes. Saprophytic by nature, plasmodic mould feeds on decaying organic material like wet bark or leaves.
Unlike most moulds which spore and then grow ON a food source, this has the ability to MOVE TOWARDS the food.
First appearing during the Proterozoic aeon approximately 2.5 billion years ago
Cambridge Drifts
A few years ago I was invited to give a couple of talks on Psychogeography and Hauntology and their influence on my work at Cambridge.
Over three days I made hours of field recordings just wandering around between Girton (Delia’s alma mater), Trinity (Arthur Eddington, Aleister Crowley), George Mallory (Magdalene), Corpus Christi (where I lodged), the Botanic Gardens, along the banks of the Cam, Lady Mitchell Hall (Yoko & John gig 1969), and Syd Barrett’s old place on Hills Road.
Before I caught the train home I went through the Market Square (scene of Syd’s final gig) and bought two pieces of Magnetite from a stall.
Magnetite was used by Austrian engineer Fritz Pfleumer who after experimenting with various materials used cigarette paper coated with Magnetite powder to invent the first magnetic tape in 1928.
All recordings made on magnetic tape.

Fascinating chat with Mr. Concretism. Great to hear about his synths and software and the track by track analysis of The Concretism Archive vol.1 adds to the listening experience - more of that sort of thing please! Infinite Tapes
Purportedly the recordings of a disgraced experimental psychologist (you decide), “Jumand” sets spoken word to eerie synths. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 2, 2023
J.Lynch (aka Thirty Pounds of Bone) plays with organic elements, including prepared piano, against electronics to impressionistic effect. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 21, 2023
The 17 mindbending songs on this compilation represent minimalist experimental music at its best, a collage of blips and static. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 3, 2022

Great album, love the dreamy nostalgic spacey-ness. The old educational samples transport me back to early school days in the TV room and when all we had to worry about was if we were wearing the right trainers or swapping Panini football stickers. vsep13
