Tastily complex string and bow work...

Playlist

Roy Wood – Music Book

Handel – Oboe Concertos

Cloudland Blue Quartet – Riverleaves

Cloudland Blue Quartet – Starlightnight

Various Composers – Flute Music of the Danish Golden Age

Rawsthorne – String Quartets

Woke to Roy Wood and Handel accompanied breakfast...

Into town with my as yet unreleased instrumental opus on the cans...

HMV tokens now worthless...

Oh well...

Despite this, still visited at lunchtime - maybe it was just me but a different atmosphere today...

Nothing purchased...

Along to Fopp...

...and three classical discs for just over £6, some flute music which was enjoyed in Denmark back in the day, a disc of quite excellent and tastily complex string quartets from English composer Alan Rawsthorne, and a 2CD set of piano music by Robert Helps with, mostly, string quartet or trio, which I am yet to sample...

In the evening...

....other than listening some of this new stuff, enjoyed "Death in Paradise"...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day : New string quartets...

Crispycat Latest Release

David Reilly AKA Cloudland Blue Quartet, created his first soundscape, "The Drone Effect" back in December 1977. 46 years later, he finally gave two live soundscape performances, in Edinburgh on 4 November 2023 and in Newcastle on 18 January 2024, playing the 40 minute piece available here on Bandcamp as "Live Suite 2023/24". On 30 August 2024 he premiered a new 40 minute suite for 2024/25 at Fopp in Edinburgh and this piece was performed again at the Switched On Electronic Music Festival in Whitby, Yorkshire on 9 November 2024. This album, "Live Suite 2024/25" was created specifically to be performed at these last two events and, like "Live Suite 2023/24", may well be performed again in the future. Free to Stream/Name Your Price to Download, the download bundle contains the studio mix of the live performance version of "Live Suite 2024/25"

Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selection

In a one-man crusade to encourage the world to broaden its musical horizons, David has been broadcasting a weekly Eclectic Selection of music from across his vast record collection since 2014. On the programme each week, you'll hear 25 Tracks, kicking off with David's LP of the Week, followed by his six other LPs of the day, three or so CBQ, or CBQ related, tracks, a single of the week (if there is one), a couple more singles (if there are any) and a further eclectic mix of other things new into the collection... It's eclectic!
