Numskulls, Harlequins & Amusing Misleaders – NHAM Mixtape 10

Released on April Fools’ Day I had to give this one a fitting title. But the tomfoolery stops there. There are no pranks below. Only more great tunes found in The Fediverse.

Last month a brilliant little album of collaborations between artists who connected via Radio Free Fedi was released, including one track featuring yours truly. It was such a top album that I’ve included five of the collaborations within this mix.

The radio show version of this mixtape (where you have to put up with me talking a bit too) can be found on Audio Interface (@audiointerface) from the first Monday of the month.

Kicking off with a most uplifting of tracks for all the dancers, kissers and cuddlers out there.

Am I only dreaming? This song is a dream in every sense. I feel like I’ve drifted off under a tree on a lovely sunny day and am dozing in and out of a lovely light dream.

Originally released on the first disc of last autumn’s 3-disc Not What I Call Bonkwave compilation, origami universe is a triumph in glitching, breaking and euphoric chanting. pulu is Miranda, a ‘computer sound worker’ from Finland.

I get real Underworld vibes from this beast of a tune taken from the 2002 album ‘radiate’. Control yourselves!

@galaxybrain

London electronic music producer Galaxy Brain named this song after a Korg M1 patch. It comes from a four track EP of the same name which she describes as a love letter to late 80s and early 90s deep house.

6. The Space Between the Sea and the Sky (Default Media Transmitter remix) by Key13

@keefmarshall

In mystic tradition ‘thin places’ are energy fields where it is said that the veil between our world and the eternal world is thin. The space on the horizon where the sky meets land or sea is often cited as one of these places. This track captures that essence magnificently.

7. Nothing Comes Around by Edith Frost

@edithfrost

A gorgeous folk pop song from a brand new album by the singer-somgwriter from Austin, Texas.

8. Shame by Matt Young & Edvards
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@mattyoung, @EDVARDS

In this relatable tale of regretting youthful misdemeanour, Matt and Edvards combine superbly for a dose of melodic, retro pop-rock.

9. Leave the Light On by Futzle featuring Aelyth from sideSister
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@futzle, @elsemusic, @jimbob

Ethereal vocals, captivating chord changes and a swinging beat that you can’t help but nod, tap and groove to.

10. ZOE by Center of the Universe
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@counivers

RTFM! 😂 Great line. From the album COU which contains eight 3-letter-acronym titled songs, ZOE – presumably about the electric car – heaps the fun in to the funky. The deep vocal and content matter makes this a perfect sequel to Hot Chip’s Playboy (driving in a Peugeot with the top down) for the renewables generation! Although I’m not sure whether Norwegian DJ and artist Center of the Universe sees it that way, citing the album as a collection of obsolete technologies which once had promises of a brighter future.

11. DOINITRITE by Babu Menos
All Rights Reserved. Used with permission
@babumenos

Wow! Nods to Byrne, Gabriel and Bowie in this epic juxtaposition of a funky, happy-sounding groove that depicts an angry, greedy, needy, ruthless and narcissistic world leader who considers himself infallible.

Closing out with the four way collaboration that closed out the Comfy Collaborations album. A mammoth soundscape about the end of everything can really go in no other place. Enjoy it while you can.

I woke this morning with a light heart and tranquil mind. It’s so good to be playing and creating again. #music #musician #MusiciansDay #FediMusic #MastoMusic substack.com/profile/118813522

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackI woke this morning with a light heart and tranquil mind. It’s so good to be playing and creating again. Thursdays are great as this when we hold our regular Vibrationists rehearsal—the new live music and multimedia project with @Suzy Starlite, @Dave Boyd and myself. Dave normally arrives at the Supertone Sonic Laboratory around noon and after setting up, we normally kick off playing the trickiest stuff from our ever-expanding set list. It’s very interesting as we are reimagining our existing material for the three-piece format incorporating new instrumentation. Yesterday saw the first appearance of Dave’s BOSS monster looper pedal which really made a great contribution to the soundscape. Starlite is also really pushing the boundaries of her pedalboard and is making some very cool noises. We always have a relaxed lunch which is a great time to discuss in words what we don’t say in the music. Yesterday was Starlite's special salad with Halloumi and my version of tabbouli. As ever I am wrestling with the number of instruments I need to deliver a smooth live performance. Currently, the Springer Firehawk, Fender Nocaster and Gretsch G6120-1960 Nashville electrics will be making an appearance plus the Collings D2H and Fylde custom 6 and 12 strings acoustics. That’s six fucking guitars and I may need more. The big issue I have is during the set I use five-six tunings, ranging from a very interesting Csus right through to standard. Guitars don’t like to be quickly pulled all the way up from C and back down again—especially in this climate which plays havoc with acoustic instruments—so it’s best if you have dedicated guitars for dedicated tunings. It wouldn’t be so bad if we could program the songs that would best suit the tunings, but live sets don’t work that way as the song order is paramount to a successful gig. All I can say, it’s a good job we have the mighty Van Of Rock. ////// We have been gradually adding stuff to our website and now have a good summary of what we are all about - take a look. ////// Warning | guitar porn. The picture below was taken by Michael Springer at his workshop before I took delivery of this great Firehawk. Wonderful instrument.

We are currently rebranding the studio, now known as the Supertone Sonic Laboratory. It’s always fun. #brand #sunn #sunnamps #music #musicproduction #musician #studio #recording #gearsquad #FediArt #FediMusic #MastoArt #Mastomusic substack.com/profile/118813522

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackWe are currently rebranding the studio, which is now known as the Supertone Sonic Laboratory and currently writing a brief for designers. As part of the research, @Suzy Starlite and I have been looking at brands and logos we admire. One of the most iconic of guitar and bass amplifiers has recently been revived and it reminded us of the superb logo which was plagiarised, with aplomb, by the drone metal legends sunn o))). We even bought the t-shirt so to speak. This is the original—beautiful eh?

Noel Scott Engel - real inspiration. #music #musician #avantgarde #artrock #artpop #ScottWalker #ThomYorke #radiohead #DavidBowie #MastoMusic #MastoArt #FediMusic #FediArt substack.com/@simonjcampbell/n

SubstackSimon Campbell on Substack@Suzy Starlite and I listen to a lot of music, the majority of the time on vinyl. This album is a regular on our turntable. Noel Scott Engel—aka Walker—was an enigma who went on to create increasingly experimental and challenging music. He was an inspiration to countless artists including David Bowie, Yorke, Radiohead, Bauhaus, Anohni and us. I strongly suggest you listen to this along with his other solo work and Nite Flights by the Walker Brothers. The music could change your world.

28 Days Later (& What a Week!)

This past week has been tremendous in terms of Fedi releases.

It began on Monday with the release of the Comfy Collaborations album by various artists which was eloquently reviewed by @inpc.

Then came two excellent single releases: Dancing and Kissing by Bitplanes (@bazkie) and Cities by @sknob.

The week was capped off perfectly with the launch of @meljoann’s latest album, Status, which included a well-attended live streamed launch party.

This super release week also marked the fourth week since NHAM launched as an online music platform for Fedi artists who distribute their music on Fair Platforms. We’ve now been live for 28 full days and astonishingly we’re averaging unique daily visitor numbers well in to four figures already!

It’s testament to the thriving and growing indie music scene in the Fedi and on the fair platforms.

A huge thank you to everyone involved and everyone supporting, listening, watching and reading!

What to do when your G string is a bit big… #recording #musicians #musician #guitar #guitarist #vibrationists #obidos #portugal #luthier #gearsquad #FediMusic #FediArt #MastoMusic #MastoArt substack.com/profile/118813522

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackWhen starting a new musical project experience tell us that getting the business side of it clear from the outset is crucial and saves a lot of heartache later on. On Tuesday, @Suzy Starlite , @Dave Boyd and I arranged to meet down at Ginjinha do Sanguinhal, a cool coffee shop located close to Dave’s house. This tied in nicely as we were off to visit a luthier in Óbidos that very morning as I needed the nut of our Fylde custom 12 string modifying slightly to accept a thicker low G string. Roger Bucknall MBE—the owner of Fylde—usually fits a plain G string which, although it sounds great, is tricky to keep in tune. It’s a simple job, which along with other minor repairs I would normally undertake myself, but I don’t own a suitable file and they are very expensive, especially considering it’s a one off mod. ////// We had never been inside the walls of the historic City before and were blown away with the architecture and vibe. It was raining but still very busy with visitors and the selection of shops, albeit tourist centric, was quite amazing. ////// Luís Eusébio’s studio is located in the North of the City and we arrived to a very warm welcome. He makes a variety of high end traditional instruments and also undertakes repairs on anything with strings! Whilst chewing the fat we found out Luís was a good friend of Andy Manson and Adriano Sérgio, who are both superb luthiers and good pals of ours. Small world—there is certainly something happening up here. ////// We left with the mod completed and a spring in our step. Before travelling on, we checked the route to Ginjinha do Sanguinhal only to find it was closed on Tuesday so we rearranged to meet at Prohibition—where we are playing on June 1st—which is located just outside the walls of the City. We had a great meeting and nailed down all the financial and practical issues of working together. It was also a good time to flesh out the content of the Vibrationists website. A great afternoon. ////// We went home and I cooked dinner using recipes from the excellent Lebanese Kitchen cookbook featuring a pumpkin gifted to us by Dave and his wonderful partner Freya. Whilst the vegetable was roasting we whipped up the final four acoustic panels in the mixing end of the Lab. ////// Yesterday we had a great six hour rehearsal and are really making progress with our new set. Onwards…

It’s all about vibration… #vibrationists #vibration #sound #music #musician #multimedia #MastoMusic #FediMusic #MastoArt #FediArt substack.com/@simonjcampbell/n

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackApart from remantling—surely this is the opposite of dismantling and if not, it should be—The Supertone Sonic Laboratory, our music focus is on our new side project Vibrationists with @Suzy Starlite , @Dave Boyd and myself. ___________________________ Sound vibrations are the movement of air molecules caused by vibrating objects. These vibrations travel through solids, liquids, and gases as sound waves. When the sound waves reach our ears, our brains interpret them as sound. ___________________________ One of the first steps when creating a new project is describing what we are doing for our supporters and media. We have always struggled defining our music as it varied and covers many genres. Suzy and I are songwriters and if the tracks need a solo piano or acoustic guitar, that’s what they get. Frantic arpeggiated sequences—no problem. Things that go ‘boing’ or ‘clang’—a natural addition to the soundscape. At first, Vibrationists is a live performance multimedia project where we are reimagining a selection of songs from our five studio albums in the format of a three piece with Bodhrán, percussion, drum machine, Wurlitzer electric piano, synthesizers, guitars, bass and harmony vocals. Fortunately, I only have to play guitar and occasionally synthesizer plus sing leaving all the heavy musical lifting to my very talented band mates who are able to rub their tummies and pat their heads in multiple directions and time signatures whilst whistling a tune by Soft Machine at their most abstract. We are thinking of how describe what we are up to. ////// One gig is equivalent to 20 rehearsals and on June 1st we have our debut at Prohibition, in Óbidos—the first step in readying ourselves to tour.

"A compilation album, you say?"

Oh Yes.

"With songs such as 'You Are Not Alone' and 'Think Twice'?"

Yes, but it's neither Michael Jackson nor Celine Dion.

"What is it, then?"

It's called Comfy Collaborations and it is a collection of tunes brilliantly masterminded by @futzle to celebrate the much loved and forever missed Comfy Channel on @radiofreefedi. Each song is a collaboration between folk who forged their connection via RFF.

Acoustic panels, bodhráns and date nights. #diary #substack #datenight #bodhran #FrameDrum #music #musician #musicians #recording #gearsquad #FediMusic #MastoMusic substack.com/profile/118813522

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackThis week has been productive.  Our recording studio—aka sonic laboratory—is progressing rapidly and the mixing console and electronics should be ready for installation by the end of next week. Yesterday, we received a pile of acoustic panels and bass traps from GIK Acoustics, which will complement the mountain of custom BBC-designed panels we've had since 2014, which have traveled with us throughout Europe since being made in Spain back in 2014. We're now ready to install everything! ////// Later, @Dave Boyd visited and following lunch, we worked on two songs for our Vibrationists project's live set.  We created a new arrangement of Take Time To Grow Old for Wurlitzer, bass, and guitar, and also developed a new song, Hey Girl, for our upcoming album. It’s always tricky playing with a new rhythm engine as @Suzy Starlite has to bond with their unique and individual groove, but it's sounding fantastic and we're looking forward to next week's session. Dave and his wonderful partner Freya are coming for dinner on Saturday which should be great fun. ////// I'm currently writing an article about our Date Nights, which should be published next week and Starlite is finishing another featuring our latest Hounds Of Rock, Edith and Françoise—aka the squeakers. Busy busy. Much love Simon https://vibrationists.eu
