Possibly the son of a man who makes houses for rabbits...

Playlist

Various - Cloudland Blue Eclectic Selections 2016

Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue

Bobby Hutcherson - Happenings

Bobby Hutcherson - Oblique

Bobby Hutcherson - Stick Up!

Bobby Hutcherson - San Francisco

I have recently been soundtracking the days with older episodes of the Eclectic Selections - which I find entertaining because I've already forgotten the tracks featured...

A scorcher today...

...and some chance scenes...

I swithered over a book at the BHF, for which I may return and buy, if it's still there - a cross between a book on Modern Art and a Cookbook - featuring the recipes of the artists themselves...

This evening, Anne was once again ensconced in the Olympics - gymnastic and then cycling...

I watched some with the nutphones on, enjoying the work of vibraphonist extraordinaire, Bobby Hutcherson, who left the world yesterday at the age of 75...

He has provided us with a huge legacy of work...

Highlight of the Day : Revisiting Mr Hutcherson...

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!
