Americans are always going on about the stabbings in London but there's scarcely any mention of the shark attacks terrorising the city.

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...

I've been wondering if any of my music had been stolen for AI purposes, and found this - among a set of 9m+ tracks was the first Beautiful Pea Green Boat album. Where do I send my invoice, or do I need to send the boys round? #musicsky #synthsky #dreampop #AIcrime

1st of May 2026. Save the date. In 1986 I made a series of improvisations designed as a work aid for tapestry student friends at Edinburgh Art College, titled Soundtracks For Weaving. Only had it on cassette, but now have the tech to complete and release it. #synthsky #RolandSH101 #RolandTR707

A much needed #studio revamp. Found the wood - I'm no carpenter but it works for me! Also found the really nice cupboard at the end a couple of days ago which complements the desktop nicely, and gives me extra storage. Total cost? About £6 - for the wheels and wood oil! #osmose #minifreak #synthsky

A message from Claudia Barton, introducing her new album, Stammerwort

“Dearest esteemed listeners, I went underground there for a while and met some some interesting characters, who performed on this interspecies spoken word album. It's unusual, you'll be happy to hear, and not entirely easy on the ear, but funny, gripping and poignant in places. Please come with us on this sonic re-imagining of the life cycle of a cinnabar moth! Your support I will be deeply grateful for, in this life cycle and the next.

Claudi
