Luminescent electronica. Yorkshire. I run a label called Frosti and play in the band called Pijn. Licensing/composing - Domino Publishing. “Ephemeral, elusive and gloriously unsettling” - Electronic Sound Magazine
A bizarre and harrowing sight - sat up at the allotment yesterday evening and seeing the fires on the moors. These are only a few miles from where we were sat and haven’t stopped for days…
I did wonder how they made Demi Moore’s insane body morph in ‘The Substance’ and it’s pretty incredible.
Huge thanks to my buddy @apta.bsky.social for putting a poster up in Piccadilly Records today too! Tickets up here linktr.ee/holmfirthsou...
Tickets selling super nicely for the first Holmfirth Sound Society show with The Mistys and @pefkin.bsky.social. Sunday Aug 30th at a lovely art space/gallery/bar called Nowhere. Also, I now have October’s show booked in and will be announcing at the August show!

I have been VERY busy over on my Patreon as of late! I just did a massive walkthrough guide on how all of my live setup case is wired up and how everything interacts. There’s loads of info on the pedals, synths and MIDI controller I use and even a couple of ‘state-of-the-art’ diagrams I made too…
When you’re trying to record a serious video in the studio on drum programming and the dog is screaming his head off in the background
Today I’m using a multicam setup consisting of a 90s VHS cam and a TEMU digital cam taped together
I’m writing LOADS of arpy techno at the moment and going back through some older stuff I’ve done for ideas/jump off points. I’d not heard this EP I did years ago in a while and have put it to £1, just to show it off! thomasragsdalemusic.bandcamp.com/album/mockin...
A quick teaser of a stand alone single I recently produced and released under my Two Way Mirrors project… frostilabel.bandcamp.com/album/some-m... I can confirm that the next release on Frosti is going to sound very similar to this (and will be a split album release)
I have so many amazing ideas to turn into full pieces of music, but first I have to grab that broccoli…
Greetings from the back garden. After I’ve eaten all of the fruit and veg that I’ve grown here I’m going to work on new music during the rest of the Summer…
I’ve got a full live set video up here, filmed last month in Leeds. Also features a massive projection visual show too : patreon.com/thomasragsdalemusic/posts/161323694 My Patreon is free to join + read and you can upgrade to get sample packs, bonus album and loads of studio diaries…
A little segment of a recent live show in Leeds. It’s a sort of ‘beats mix’ of ‘Pay Your Debts To The Mire’ from my ‘Songs Of Soil’ album on @quietdetails.bsky.social…
Amazing to spend lots of time with @warringtonruncorn.com @loulayorke.bsky.social @polypores.bsky.social @abearsounds.bsky.social @kyliemonologue.bsky.social too and seeing their inspiring sets. It may be Summer, but I may retreat to the basement studio for a little while after this!
A couple of ace snaps from London at the weekend. Such magnificent stuff and what a show. Huge thanks for the lovely turnout and also @babayagashut.bsky.social and @iklectikartlab.bsky.social for everything…
Back from London. Totally exhausted. Had the best time ever. Everything and everyone was lovely. Now out with Ezra x
I’m playing this mega lineup today in London for @babayagashut.bsky.social with @warringtonruncorn.com @loulayorke.bsky.social @polypores.bsky.social @abearsounds.bsky.social @kyliemonologue.bsky.social (wow, that’s a lot of names). Doors at 3pm! Let’s GO…
Yeah, definitely cringe! I too just follow people I'm a fan of. I'm on the Spotify app now and this official playlist is heaving with fake artists and (probably AI). It's gross to look at. I mean, who makes a track called 'Let's Chill'. Ugh!
Here’s the story behind ‘Songs Of Soil’ : an album I made using the sound recordings of worms, released on @quietdetails.bsky.social. I invited Light In The Tower over to mine to film some worm action in my compost bin using a special probe camera - the ‘worm cam’ is truly magnificent!…
Coming later this week : ‘Songs Of Soil’ - a very short film about making an album using the sound recordings of worms. Featuring many worms, my compost bin and a probe contact microphone. Stand by!
And a slice of footage from the show at Ramsgate Music Hall - a truly spectacular venue!!
A couple of tour highlight snaps from last month’s run with @jamesadrianbrown.bsky.social. we crossed through almost the entire of the UK - from Edinburgh down to Folkestone with a couple of stops in-between…
