Tom Service presents a live set from the Polish sound artist and composer Anna Zaradny, recorded at at this year’s Eavesdropping festival at Cafe Oto in London. We’ll also hear the London Sinfonietta with a modern classic by Salvatore Sciarrino, his ghostly, shimmering …da una Divertimento, from 1970; and GBSR Duo perform Tim Parkinson’s Project 9000 for piano, percussion and backing track, described by the composer as “a sunset that’s been photographed, laminated and pinned on the wall of a disused office”.
Cult Pens sent out an email to tell everyone it’s 100 days to Xmas and I almost unsubscribed.

Supercat in flight here is rolling around on the lawn in the late summer sun, after having come to get me at 10.10 to tell me it’s morning and he needs his snack before we go outside. And then drooling on my face when I gave him some fuss.
TODAY:
- Blood moon lunar eclipse on Sunday

OPERATIONS: I have to lock down the newsletter and ten pages of script today, no time to fart around. And I just got two big chunks of art to look through, which I probably need to do first.
STATUS: Inbox 98, barely 7 hours sleep, Gmail on iOS has stopped popping notifications AGAIN. Today I am back in a heavy workshirt for the first time since the end of May, as the chill starts creeping in. Putting the Apple Watch on because I have a feeling I’m going to need help keeping up today….

Not actually daily, but I discovered this while tending my podcast list last night.
Ambient Daily is a podcast series dedicated to ambient music: discover the latest ambient and new-age releases through weekly mixes, curated by Le Code. These mixes are commercial-free, so you can relax and listen to calm music, inviting you to meditate.
This is a monster, from the MONUMENT podcast, and I wanted to save it.
Fresh off the release of her excellent debut album ‘Percussive reverie’, we welcome Aerae for MNMT 462. Aerae’s music is shaped by the organic and unpredictable forces of the natural world. In the hands of the rising French artist, techno, downtempo and drum & bass are molded into unrecognizable forms, where evolving textures lock into enveloping and ritualistic grooves.
Tune in now for a deep trip diving into the psychedelic pulse of Aerae’s sound. As the mix descends into the abyss of sonic sorcery and tribalistic hypnotism, you just might lose yourself, or your grip on reality – but for a mix this good it’s a price worth paying.
