Late 2025, Dundee Contemporary Arts commissioned @surfacepressure.bsky.social & I to write a score for RupertJulian’s 1925 seminal horror PhantomOfTheOpera. It was a brilliant/terrifying experience. Our new soundtrack LP, House With A Curse will be released 16 Oct @claypipemusic.bsky.social 😱🙌

Andrew Wasylyk - Hearing the Water Before Seeing the Falls (2022) @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social @claypipemusic.bsky.social #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Hanna Tuulikki was on Nick Grimshaw's BBC 6 Music breakfast show this morning talking about Echo in the Dark 🦇 Lovely messages came in from listeners excited to go out bat detecting after hearing 'We Came Out'. Here's a clip from after the track played 👇 eitd.surfacepressure.net/we-came-out/

Just arrived the second pressing of @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social ‘Irreparable Parables’ white vinyl in a golden yellow sleeve. I’ll be taking these over to @state51.bsky.social tomorrow for shops and Greedbag. I’ll be working hard to get Bandcamp orders out ASAP.

Good people of Leeds, any recommendations for places showing the Scotland game tonight (2am KO) would be appreciated?

"We will all have our own idea of what a national radio station should be. But surely it wouldn't be too much to ask for a more substantial platform for the arts in Scotland year-round?" Well said, @teddyjamieson.bsky.social

What a weekend @caughtbytheriver.bsky.social & the stunning, wildlife-rich otherworldliness of Elmley National Nature Reserve. Exciting, innovative writers & artists doing great things. Tripping over hares & lapwings & a stay (with Andrew Wasylyk band!) in historic, atmospheric Kingshill Farmhouse.

Step into my orbit, pull up a collapsing star. 🙏

Hi #musicsky peeps 👋 Now playing the record that sent me into Andrew Wasylyk’s orbit. Hearing the water before seeing the falls | 2022 A gorgeous, immersive record that pulls your attention. At times orchestral, jazzy, ambient but always beautiful. On Clay Pipe. @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social

I’d seen this picture of John & Alice Coltrane in Nagasaki on a 1966 tour of Japan in black & white before but never in colour. I don’t know why but it’s kind of taken my breath away. The sign in the background translates to Atomic Bomb Hypocenter. Can’t find name of the photographer to credit 📷

"A madcap reputation has tended to obscure what they really are: a formidable songwriting force." I went to see Super Furry Animals in Glasgow and wrote about it for The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/music/2026/m...

Super Furry Animals review – stirring reunion showcases immaculate songcraft

The Welsh band with a weird edge mostly let their formidable music speak for itself, lent a transcendent power by frontman Gruff Rhys’s rich voice

Bell tent booked! really looking forward to this. With @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social playing on the Saturday night @modernnature.bsky.social on the Friday, and Elmley looks amazing. Might even get some early swimming in.

I really enjoyed being interviewed for the first episode of The Chill Out Tent's Sunday morning show on OpenLab radio. I told the story of the beginning of Blackford Hill Records and played music by Morgan Szymanski, Makushin, @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social & more. Listen here openlab.fm/radio/shows/...

Read Grant's article, if only to marvel at this incredible photo of Astrid Kirchherr standing at the front of the queue to the Cavern in 1964, a year after The Beatles had left Liverpool and two years after her boyfriend, Stuart Sutcliffe had died.

Saturday vibes... Rare I pick up an album these days purely on the strength of the artwork and without hearing a single note. But I felt compelled to pick up this and now being rewarded. Truly wonderful work from @andrewwasylyk.bsky.social & @claypipemusic.bsky.social 🙏× #NowPlaying #MusicSky
