In the Middle Ages, there was thought to be a disease called “Tarantismo”, which was supposed to be caused by the bite of a tarantula. The only way of dealing with this was with music therapy and through the dance known as the Tarantella. This album of Tarantellas is hauntingly & energetically epic.
This glorious view could soon be my new back garden. Zooming into the horizon shows the grand hills of the beautiful Lake District. This is the north west coast of England and with God’s will, this quiet seaside town could be the place I call home before Christmas is out. Exciting times! 🌊
It flies up up up into the ether of sound where magic and mystery reside. I feel healed having listened to it especially with the glorious addition of mystical wolf howls. Very special.
In B Minor accompanied by a wolf soundscape.

Imagine the most powerful mother, full of love and compassion, shining Her light from the heavens. Wrapping us in a nurturing embrace. That’s what I feel when I say this prayer. There’s a cosy fireside soundscape and some haunting melodies to accompany. This is The Litany of The Blessed Virgin Mary.
Really enjoyed this dog behaviour video from the dog’s eye level. Super interesting with lots of different situations explained and slowed down to study the behaviour in detail, because as we know, everything happens so quickly when it comes to dog reactions.
Awesome lil Dodo. “The sun rises and sets with my two cats. Truly.”
As a kid at the seaside, I loved nothing better than playing in amusement arcades on crane machines, trying to win the umpteenth cuddly toy or dropping 10p into a slot machine at the right moment and watching it fall down in the hopes of hearing that classic sound of coins falling out the other end. I was obsessed by the sights and sounds of seaside amusements. These days, I just like to watch other people succeed and try not to get too overwhelmed by the intense, repetitive music, weird smells and chaos going on all around me. Candy floss anyone?
Yay! Happy Friday! My latest newsletter’s out! If you enjoy reading about happy, joyful things and looking at beautiful Scottish landscapes, you might like it 😄
I’ve created an ethereal wolf soundscape. There are many different personalities here. A whole pack of wild wolves. And, together with resonant, deep and uplifting cosmic harp music, a realm of nature and musical mystery entwine. Find your own inner ‘awoooo’ with my latest release Cosmic Wolves.
Having one last listen to my new track Cosmic Wolves ready for it being released on Bandcamp soon, woohoo! There’ll be lots of deep resonant bass, high vibrational moments, and ethereal wolves awoooo-ing throughout. It’s magical, mysterious and romantically wild.
Cosmic Wolves anyone? Tonight I’m playing celestial harp with ethereal, howling wolves. It’s going to be beautiful, haunting and magic. 19:30 BST - Cosmic Wolf Harp.

Please enjoy five hours of angelic, celestial harp music. Some tracks are super cosmic with lots of layers, others are simpler and softer. Expect seashores, cat purrs and deep relaxation.

Are you a cat or a dog person? I’m both, but I love dogs best on a part-time (non-walking) basis. This fun article is a sweet, affirming read. “It’s about having that relationship with an animal,” explains Buzzel, “that chooses independence, but at the same time, chooses you.” Amen to that.
Love this Drum and Bass set from Maduk. Lots of funky, liquid beats. Love the Pokemon remix. Now that takes me back to happy moments. And other 90s retro samples dotted about the set are evocative of times past and remixed to create even more awesomeness. Enjoy the bounce.
Opening night of the new season with the Scottish Symphony Orchestra featuring Mahler’s 4th Symphony. Exhilarating to the senses. The word mental came up a few times. 😂
What’s your favourite composer and symphony/concerto?
I love Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto no. 2.
