Me playing Max Richter’s ‘Horizon Variations’ (from the album The Blue Notebooks).
I like this piece a lot, and it is quite easy. But then everything is easy once you know.

On The Nature of Daylight
DJ The Major is away on holiday at the moment soaking up tropical rays and dancing the conga with beach beauties, and so on, hence his absence from this stereophonic sound recording. It is very snowy here so I have been shivering over a candle and wearing my coat and gloves indoors, which makes mixing ambient techno a bit difficult because of my huge, wool-clad sausagey fingers. The secret is to use a massive mouse!

The Fluid Spheres of Earth
A great many fluid spheres have been falling on Cornwall and creating widespread TRAVEL CHROS, to say nothing of flooding my favourite pasty shop. I have been mostly staying indoors and beeswaxing the woodwork, and in between times laying down a dub or two of strange, other-worldly beats.
