SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackI woke this morning with a light heart and tranquil mind. It’s so good to be playing and creating again. Thursdays are great as this when we hold our regular Vibrationists rehearsal—the new live music and multimedia project with @Suzy Starlite, @Dave Boyd and myself. Dave normally arrives at the Supertone Sonic Laboratory around noon and after setting up, we normally kick off playing the trickiest stuff from our ever-expanding set list. It’s very interesting as we are reimagining our existing material for the three-piece format incorporating new instrumentation. Yesterday saw the first appearance of Dave’s BOSS monster looper pedal which really made a great contribution to the soundscape. Starlite is also really pushing the boundaries of her pedalboard and is making some very cool noises. We always have a relaxed lunch which is a great time to discuss in words what we don’t say in the music. Yesterday was Starlite's special salad with Halloumi and my version of tabbouli. As ever I am wrestling with the number of instruments I need to deliver a smooth live performance. Currently, the Springer Firehawk, Fender Nocaster and Gretsch G6120-1960 Nashville electrics will be making an appearance plus the Collings D2H and Fylde custom 6 and 12 strings acoustics. That’s six fucking guitars and I may need more. The big issue I have is during the set I use five-six tunings, ranging from a very interesting Csus right through to standard. Guitars don’t like to be quickly pulled all the way up from C and back down again—especially in this climate which plays havoc with acoustic instruments—so it’s best if you have dedicated guitars for dedicated tunings. It wouldn’t be so bad if we could program the songs that would best suit the tunings, but live sets don’t work that way as the song order is paramount to a successful gig. All I can say, it’s a good job we have the mighty Van Of Rock. ////// We have been gradually adding stuff to our website and now have a good summary of what we are all about - take a look. ////// Warning | guitar porn. The picture below was taken by Michael Springer at his workshop before I took delivery of this great Firehawk. Wonderful instrument.

We are currently rebranding the studio, now known as the Supertone Sonic Laboratory. It’s always fun. #brand #sunn #sunnamps #music #musicproduction #musician #studio #recording #gearsquad #FediArt #FediMusic #MastoArt #Mastomusic substack.com/profile/118813522

SubstackSimon Campbell on SubstackWe are currently rebranding the studio, which is now known as the Supertone Sonic Laboratory and currently writing a brief for designers. As part of the research, @Suzy Starlite and I have been looking at brands and logos we admire. One of the most iconic of guitar and bass amplifiers has recently been revived and it reminded us of the superb logo which was plagiarised, with aplomb, by the drone metal legends sunn o))). We even bought the t-shirt so to speak. This is the original—beautiful eh?

Testing a piece of equipment that just came back from the repair shop this evening, and came across this gem of an acoustic guitar sound.

Recently, I've been only capturing things in real-time performance, with no editing and very little mixing after the fact. This can either be very challenging, or very easy.

In this case, it was easy. Acoustic guitar only. :) Fun times, weird music.

Space out with me, if you dare.

Mi piace molto la parola "alchimia" -- forse perché mi fa l'effetto di qualcosa di magico, arcano, nascosto.

Invece scopro che alchimia, almeno etimologicamente, è qualcosa di molto concreto, pratico, materiale: la metallurgia, che in greco antico apprendo si diceva "χυμείᾱ" (khumeíā: “l'arte di legare i metalli”) ed è poi divenuta كيمياء /kiː.mi.jaːʔ/ in arabo. Che viaggi fanno le parole, e come cambiano viaggiando.

Un piccolo cambiamento ancora l'ho fatto io chiamando Alchimia il mio brano più recente. A pensarci, la composizione forse può essere vista come l'arte di legare assieme i suoni e le idee musicali così da raggiungere un Tutto con un significato ed una identità maggiore di quello prodotto dalla somma dei significati ed identità delle singole Parti. Una speciale metallurgia insomma -- una alchimia dei suoni.

Chiacchiere a parte, spero vi piaccia 😀

I'm looking for #fedimusic related events, physical or online, from concerts to listening parties to meetings or workshops... If you are organizing or attending one, can you share the link, please? Also if you know a useful list, tag, or account to follow.

All locations and languages welcome.

Yesterday we created a calendar on #TheSocialMusicNetwork and I want to add a bunch of events to test and discuss whether this might become an interesting crowdsourced service.

Y'all, I'm crying happy tears for once.

@MTP just made my day and week by sending me his newest CD all the way from Wales to the formerly USA! For free & with a beautiful handwritten note, all because I bought and loved his first album.

Noel Scott Engel - real inspiration. #music #musician #avantgarde #artrock #artpop #ScottWalker #ThomYorke #radiohead #DavidBowie #MastoMusic #MastoArt #FediMusic #FediArt substack.com/@simonjcampbell/n

SubstackSimon Campbell on Substack@Suzy Starlite and I listen to a lot of music, the majority of the time on vinyl. This album is a regular on our turntable. Noel Scott Engel—aka Walker—was an enigma who went on to create increasingly experimental and challenging music. He was an inspiration to countless artists including David Bowie, Yorke, Radiohead, Bauhaus, Anohni and us. I strongly suggest you listen to this along with his other solo work and Nite Flights by the Walker Brothers. The music could change your world.
