Made in Mulch- Compilation Tape & Digital Release

Listen to the Voice of Fire wants to release a tape/digital version compilation of music made in Audiomulch.

Genre Agnostic, inclusive to all identities/genders/domains. This will be released via Listen to the Voice of Fire on tape (<50) and digitally.

Deadline is October 31st-only UNRELEASED made in 2021 to be included.

Each submission will be made via We Transfer to drdafydd [dot] roberts [at]gmail [dot] com and will include:

• wav file
• title of work
• url link to your site
• country of residence.
• 300 dpi jpg image (s) of artist or ‘the work’
• <400 characters text file about how Mulch was incorporated in the work, what it was used for and how, not a superficial one but not a deeply technical one-include here your favourite used contraptions and why they are your favourite used contraptions.

It goes without saying that no sexism, misogyny, racism, pornographic or political polemic will be tolerated.

Would love to have as wide a mix of genders and identities/domains involved.

Here, I made this for YOU! it’d be great to get 100 dls 🙂

I found this photo-hundreds of 7″s on the floor, paint daubed, you can listen to our (abortive) contribution to Norbert Schilling’s massive Conrad Schnitzler re-mix CD—-it was snuck away on the flip of a pastoral whim (The Magpie’s Advice):

Redeem Codes:

I was shocked to hear that Rowan had died. I didn’t know her directly. Like many others I was drawn to her magical music. So we opened up a conversation and pre-Covid she was to play at The Shining Pyramid-now that would have been something. So, recently, learning she’d relocated to Cornwall and not far from where my sister lives, we chatted on Fb about the possibility of coming down there to do something  or that she may ‘return’ to Wales at some point for a Pyramid follow up. We were lucky enough to have received her track ‘Annwn’ for The Surface of Past Time, this is-unsurprisingly-the most played track via Bandcamp on that collection.  We were very happy that as The Shining Pyramid was cannibalised into that release and Ysbrydnos that she contributed here too.  So no LVOF live performance, no meet up in ‘real’ life but a connection was made. She created a deep score for itdreamedtome and this is testament I think to her subtle musical work. My sad condolences go to any who knew her well and all her family and loved ones.

Pre-order our new limited edition Risograph book and sound-world

Like Hyanthe All Teares- A Radiophonic Dream and text based on Thomas Vaughan’s alchemystical writing

400 years ago tomorrow, April 17th 1621, Wales’ foremost alchemist was born. Thomas Vaughan has long been my passion, subject of research and creative stimuli. It is fitting that today  I can announce our new project.

Like Hyanthe All Teares will be a limited edition (approximately 100 copies) Risograph perfect bound book circa 100 pages with colour alchemical illustrations throughout, original essays and selections of Vaughan’s text including excerpt translations from Vaughan’s unpublished private alchemical diary.  The project will see new sound worlds accompanying it in the shape of a limited edition cassette. Artists signed-up to develop works include Phosphene: Sharron Kraus: Tristan Rhys Williams: Richard Craig: Dafydd Roberts & Johann Wlight. Individually and jointly they create a radiophonic dream.

There is no public funding for this risky labour of love which is why I turn to you now. An Early Bird pre-order will help me cover some of the production costs, reprographic and license fees in the main.

All those taking advantage of the Early Bird offer will receive acknowledgement in the print copy dedication for what is sure to be an attractive, idiosyncratic and one of a kind offering.

I will be humbled and grateful to you should you choose to commit NOW for your copy, £30.00 including postage worldwide.
