#34 - From Dublin
Updates
An unusually busy week for me, I took a time off work and travelled to the UK to see family, friends and do some life admin. It was great to see everyone, and to bring the best of my original record collection back to Ireland.
A real highlight of the week was seeing my son DJ'ing at a nightclub in London on Thursday - a really good memory.
Reading: Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan.
Recommended Music
My musical recommendation this week is tinySketchbook III by kita kouhei, a percussionist and composer from Kyoto, Japan.
As it suggests, this album is the third in a series of ambient soundscapes, all just a few minutes long that sound meticulously crafted. Each one is a like a collage of noises that sound organic and everyday, but together sound beautiful.
It's worth seeking out the other tinySketchbook albums, and there are more superb ambient albums from kita.
Highly recommended.
