about

A couple of weeks ago I made a Pub Meditation video and put it on YouTube (can't post a link here, but search 'pub meditation' on YouTube).

I spent ages putting the music together, so thought I would release it separately, along with an instrumental version.

When the video came out, Rob Morgan-Hulme got in touch and asked me to create something in a similar vein for his Mind Shed podcast. So I put together The Pub of Unknowing. The podcast is available here, and from all your usual podcast places:

mindshedpod.com/podcast/the-pub

Again, I was quite happy with the music so decided to release this too, along with an (extended!) instrumental version.

If you're interested in Pond by Claire-Louise Bennett (which I mention in Pub Meditation), there is more information here:

The extract I read from Ulysses is from the ‘Sirens’ chapter:

‘Miss Douce’s brave eyes, unregarded, turned from the crossblind, smitten by sunlight. Gone. Pensive (who knows?), smitten (the smiting light), she lowered the dropblind with a sliding cord. She drew down pensive (why did he go so quick when I?) about her bronze over the bar where bald stood by sister gold, inexquisite contrast, contrast inexquisite nonexquisite, slow cool dim seagreen sliding depth of shadow, eau de Nil.’

Lovely stuff.

I made use of the brilliant Freesound archive (freesound.org) for a lot of samples, all of which are free from copyright, apart from the recording of an owl, which has an attribution license that I am crediting here, with thanks.
