Link in bio… So much gratitude to the uber talented composers that joined me on the podcast. I've said it before and I'm going to say it again. It would be shit without you...it wouldn't even exist. Love to these wonderful creatures whose 1-day collab sessions led to these two albums:  Vol.1 ft @manudelagomusic @laurajurd #EmilyHall @robertamesmusic @marklockheart @douglasdaremusic @miracalix_ @emilielevienaisefarrouch @matthewjcalvert Vol.2 ft #GoldPanda @hannahpeelmusic @galbisen #AnneNikitin @elliotgalvin @alev_lenz @ollycoates @annahmeredith Today is BandCamp Friday so if you want to give full-fat support to all the amazing artists involved, today is the day as BandCamp waives their cream.  #HiddenNotesRecords #musicbook #album #compilationalbum #releaseday #newrelease #experimental #electronic #acoustic #podcast #musicpodcast

Oh it has been a long old time since posting on this here insta, nearly two years since it's last peep. Very happy to bring an exciting announcement... The saintly folks at Hidden Notes Records (@hidden_notes_festival ) thought it'd be a nice idea to release the music written as part of excuse the mess & create a book for each series (each album) to accompany the release. And don't they look darn sexy! Beautifully designed by @adam_hinks , dreamed up by Alex Hobbis and the nitty gritty majestically orchestrated by @danielinzani Available for pre-order now and releasing 4th Feb. A huge thank you to those guys for giving the music a home and a proper, gawjus release. Vol.1 ft @manudelagomusic @laurajurd #EmilyHall @robertamesmusic @marklockheart @douglasdaremusic @miracalix_ @emilielevienaisefarrouch @matthewjcalvert Vol.2 ft #GoldPanda @hannahpeelmusic @galbisen #AnneNikitin @elliotgalvin @alev_lenz @ollycoates @annahmeredith I couldn't be more grateful to these immeasurably talented composers that joined me on the podcast and brought their unique music chops. Big love to all! The albums will be available as digital downloads and the Ltd edition books feature interview extracts/quotes from the podcast, pictures and musings, risograph prints and of course your download to the music. You can pre-order now from @roughtrade @driftrecordshop @residentbrighton @banquetrecords @junorecords (special thanks to @forte_music_ ) Head to bandcamp to hear 'ministry 101' (Douglas Dare) from Vol.1 and 'unbox' (Hannah Peel) from Vol.2 Hope you've been keeping safe and sound out there Benge xxx
