Kind of expected them to be more space spaghetti western like the comic book. Sort of cyber Ennio Morricone.

seen PJ a couple of times way back then, and a couple of recent things. It’s always good.

When I was a student I was in a shared flat with the university entertainments officer and we’d sometimes put bands up overnight when they played gigs. So one band we had stay was Automatic Dlamini including a teenage Polly on percussion and various instruments. Barely saw her though, just got stoned with the rest of the band and watched Blues Brothers on video for the 100th time. I wish I had even had half a conversation with her though as I think she’s one of the best British solo artists of all time.

It’s special. All of her work is very interesting.

Cool! Those clicks and clacks across the recording - is that the actual sound of pedals, buttons and switches of the organ being played?

example: https://youtu.be/NooCL1bVw-U?t=190 and following 15"

One of my favorite artists recently released “Organ Studies Vol. 1”, here’s an excerpt from the description:

The sounds are entirely acoustic and were captured with three microphones in what is commonly referred to as “real” time. My approach was to find two or three notes that, when held together, provided a slowly evolving and hypnotizing interaction of frequencies. While holding down the keys with my left hand, I used my right hand to gradually move certain organ stops in and out (controlling the opening and closing of additional pipes). I also paid careful attention to the incidental noise created by the movement of mechanical parts and imperfect air flow. In some cases, I have changed the playback speed of the original recording and/or layered it with several copies of itself […]

There’s another upload with the official description but yes. it’s recordings of improvised and traditional tunes played on a church organ, borrowed while the cleaners are working :slight_smile: Apparently they gave requests and didn’t like the drones so much. There’s a vacuum cleaner in one of the tracks. The participatory aspect is the most interesting part of Áine’s work for me.
