A recent #slaughterbackalbumgallery featuring #DavidBowie 's the Man Who Sold The World, #MarleneDietrich in concert at the Café de Paris, and #MilesDavis ' Sept Pas Vers Le Ciel, the French edition of Seven Steps To Heaven. Would have made a good evening's festival line up... intro by Noel Coward.
This news of Bezos buying into #LFC is weird. One of the biggest capitalist exploiters in history buying into one of the most socialist clubs in one of the most socialist cities in England? That won't end well...
Four Flies has unearthed a previously unreleased album from Italian library synth maestro Piero Umiliani. This was one of his last creations before he succumbed to illness, a set of scenic analog vignettes. #synthsky fourfliesrecords.bandcamp.com/album/fantasy

Just had a really nice review of my Soundtracks For Weaving album on WhisperinandHollerin, which suggests the reviewer actually listened to the album rather than just regurgitated the press release, for which I am thankful! #synthsky #electronicmusic www.whisperinandhollerin.com/reviews/revi...

Canterbury 2027 is the place to be for an extraordinary festival that I'm honoured to take part in with my modern beat combo Githead, returning to the stage in many years, alongside so many friends!
Another day of climate breakdown, so here's another teaser I made for my #ambient #soundscape album, All Becomes Desert. #analogue #synthsky #rolandjuno106 #sahara
Here's a teaser I made for my #ambient #soundscape album, All Becomes Desert. #analogue #synthsky #rolandjuno106 Since we're apparently stuck under a so-called 'heat dome', it seemed more relevant than the happy snaps of people on beaches the media usually pump out at times like these...
For some reason this photo always seems a bit JG Ballard. Did you notice the little bit of #lensflare? #photosky
This was a gorgeous surprise to hear - grabbed one of the download codes immediately!
Some weekend listening🎧. Join us and listen to music inspired by and including recordings made by PhD researcher Kat Turner on an expedition to the Southern Ocean onboard the RRS Sir David Attenborough in 2025. 🚢🌊🌊🦭👻🌧️ ⬇️ #Antarctica #BIOPOLEII #artscience #outreach

I love this. Unmute.
Good read. Since punk there has been 50 years of new music, ever-accelerating growth. For me, too overwhelming to know about all the new revolutions - my guess is music is so fractured and specialised it's hard to achieve critical mass. And who decides what I end up hearing is the question, as ever.
Got something that's been bugging for a while (25 years!!) off my chest for @thelineofbestfit.com There are musical revolutions bigger than punk and acid house happening in front of our eyes and the culture press just shrugs.
Are you getting enough Protein? Finally got time to get to know my new #Waldorf #synth. Huge thanks to their customer service for patiently and quickly troubleshooting an issue I had. Nice to find a company so helpful. Groovy, shiny, digital sounds. Love it! #synthsky #electronicmusic
Thanks to Kate Bosworth @darktrain.bsky.social for giving a track from my new album, Soundtracks for Weaving, a spin on WCRFM and for making the most colourful playlist ever... 🫡 #synthsky #electronicmusic
#polaroid promo photo from a few years back, I think for my All Becomes Desert album. #expiredfilm #photography #filmphotography #photosky #argentique #blackandwhite #monochrome
Great read - never heard of this show, but it sounds well worth checking out. Proper, well-researched, long form interviews with an interested interviewer are great. I was massively impressed with Due Lipa's author interviews, and this sounds like it might be in the same ballpark...
The tears of Gene Hackman, the sparkle of Jeanne Moreau, Jessica Lange talking about De Niro, and so much more. Plus Lipton's Paris revelations will blow your mind! HERE - davehaslam.substack.com/p/the-king-o...
It turns out my album titles are all episodes of Star Trek... #synthsky #startrek #electronicmusic
I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

Here's a track from my new album, Soundtracks For Weaving, originally recorded in 1986. It's called The Vase and became the basis for a track by my band at the time, Beautiful Pea Green Boat... #synthsky #electronica #trance #electronicmusic #analogue ianwilliams.bandcamp.com/track/part-1...

I've played a couple of times at the Coastal Electronauts gatherings in Whitstable - it's excellent stuff, diverse, interesting #electronica, #modularsynth. Nice to see a mention for my old mate Dids aka Gagarin too - his loss still leaves a big hole in the #ambientelectronica scene. #synthsky
More of my @electronicsound.bsky.social reviews fresh on The Haunted Generation site! Salut Coastal Electronauts, Dilettante, @bellprover.bsky.social, The Winter Journey, C Duncan and Sophie Jamieson. Always nice to nod to Gilbert O'Sullivan as well. hauntedgeneration.co.uk/2026/05/12/e...
