Inside No. 9, Episode #12 (Part One): The Best of 2022 (light between the shadows) December sees Inside No 9 taking a slightly different tact and offers you 24 songs for advent. Here is Part 1 of a 2 part mix. This is the first 12 songs from a glorious year of records. This mix […]
Inside No. 9, Episode #11: Massacre in Catena Valley, 1971 (Imagined OST). 1984-2021 This time of year brings out the nostalgic Luddite in me. I fawn over the loss of Blockbuster Video and the joy of picking a handful of crappy horror VHSs for a fun-filled Halloween eve. Finding films like ‘Street Trash,’ ‘The Gate’ […]
Inside No. 9, Episode #10: Worried Friends, Nervous Enemies: Lasse Marhaug. 2005-2022 And now for something a little bit frightening for the month of October – some select cuts from my collection of Lasse Marhaug records. Expect music from the furthest reaches of big sound design, to the basement of lo-fi sonic vomit. Marhaug is […]
Inside No. 9, Episode #9: I tell you everything, just not out loud. 1969-2020 With an ever-polished sound to the current underground music output, I found myself returning to DIY and experimental recordings that itch a long-dormant lo-fi scratch.

Inside No. 9, Episode #7 (Part 1): Andrew Chalk – Everything, in a moment, and then forever gone again 2006-2022 I have been a fan of Andrew Chalk and his label Faraway Press since discovering his record Goldfall back in 2006. To this day, Goldfall is very high in my greatest records of all time and is one of […]
Inside No. 9, Episode #6: Streams of Sound 1979 – 2022 This month I entered a realm of rich ambient soundscapes traversing 43 years. Ambient music is one of my go-to genres. As an artistic expression it is often littered with soulless drones and new age trite, but beyond this is a world of transcendental […]
Episode #5: When I Sing, Mountains Dance – a collection of pieces to accompany the book by Irene Solà Here are a collection of songs I put together to accompany my reading of the book ‘When I Sing Mountains Dance’ by Irene Solà. I can’t recommend this book highly enough. She rights with a deft […]
