Recorded for #AudioMo 2024 in which I have no idea what to record so dig out an old demo track I played on. The track was called Space Cake and was jammed out by my old band Koniguan. I finish the audio by playing the more polished version that appears on our first EP. http://www.Documentally.net

Shared for #AudioMo Feels silly sharing a phone recording of an audio experience that was so dynamic it blew my mind. It really could only have been experienced there and then. Or wherever it tours next. Thanks to EMFCamp for putting it on.

This audio was recorded for #AudioMo Day 23 and http://Documentally.net. Unfortunately I made a mistake with the mic set up but as it was still audible I left it as it was. I just added my comment on the mistake and a brief cameo from a previous conversation I had with Lauren Laverne. Otherwise it is as is.

What are you doing on June 25th? I'll be at a picnic and you are more than welcome.
George Orwell, renowned author and social critic, remains exceptionally relevant in our modern world. His life and writings offer us profound insights into power dynamics, government control, surveillance, and the manipulation of information.
Orwell's works, particularly "1984" and including "Animal Farm," provide crucial warnings and reflections on the perils of authoritarianism and the erosion of individual freedoms.
Despite being written 73 years ago Orwell's "1984," depicts a pervasive surveillance state not dissimilar to our own era of government surveillance and mass data collection. And we continue to have concerns about the balance between security and privacy.
More relevant than ever is Orwell's concept of "Newspeak", reflected in the manipulation and distortion of language for political purposes in our current age of misinformation, fake news, and the weaponisation of social media.
His exploration of thought control and the suppression of dissenting voices is still a cautionary in societies where democracy and freedom are under threat.
Here in the UK, in the midst of political spin and the use of vague and manipulative language, it's as if no one read Orwell's "Politics and the English Language", with it's call for clarity and honesty.
I recently re-read "Animal Farm," where Orwell highlights social inequality, exploitation, and the abuse of power.
Themes still resonant in societies grappling with a rich poor divide, social injustice, and systemic oppression.
So, as the work of George Orwell aka Eric Arthur Blair serves as an enduring reminder of the need for vigilance, critical thinking, and the protection of our individual liberties, we should continue to question authority, challenge propaganda, and defend the values that underpin a just and open society.
All that said, at its heart, the 1984 Symposium is simply a picnic with friends. People who attend for a variety of reasons. Tribute and remembrance, curiosity, activism, community building, and the desire to remind ourselves and others of Orwell's ideas in the pursuit of a more informed, just, and democratic society.
This year will be the 17th consecutive picnic and will coincide with the official gathering of the Orwell Society.
If you fancy coming along, bring a packed lunch, a drink and something to sit on.
11am Behind The Church of All Saints, The Green, Sutton Courtenay,

The music used in the audio is called Broke For Free by Night Owl.
