Autumnal Activities and Way of The Morris


First of all a reminder that Study Series No. 7 "Autumnal Activities" by Pye Corner Audio (feat. The Advisory Circle) is released today. Its in the Ghost Box shop and many of the usual stockists now on 7" vinyl or download.


Secondly there's the exciting news that Jonny Trunk has set up a sister label to Trunk Records. Its called OST and it will be dedicated to contemporary scores and soundtracks. Jonny kindly sent the first release to the vicarage.

Its Adrian Corker's beautiful soundtrack to a new documentary film called Way of the Morris by Tim Plester. A delicate blend of electronics, traditional instruments and field recordings its not at all what you might expect. It also features performances from amongst others, the Adderbury Village Morris Men and Chris Leslie of Fairport Convention. Highly recommended.

  1. Totally agree re: Way Of The Morris, it's a great album, Jim. It was a pleasure to master it, too.

  2. Just bought the new single and love it. I cant wait for the new Belbury Poly album in Feburary. Could you tell me, the dialogue sample used in 'The Young People', where is this taken from?

  6. Wow! Thanks for this link Jim. Im a big fan of both yours and J.Brooks music and coincidentally enough have just moved to Adderbury and met Chris Leslie when a parcel for him was accidentally sent to my house. He lives opposite me. I shall have to watch this by the fire over christmas. Thanks. Ed Macfarlane.
