‘Nobody Told Me (There Would Be Days Like These)’Hand knitted Arran wool straight jacket 1995.

In Isotopica, as in my wider art practice, i work with and try and reveal a little of the deeply personal in a way that i hope is universal..... it's not all about me, oh no!

Today we start with a short film by rufus davis, that was started as a documentary, about a provincial cricket club, a quintessential english country affair, yet it ended as being a tribute to one of it's most unusual members, Andrew Russel, my nephew and very close friend, who died in the care of a very careless shaman during a far less common country pursuit, the english ayahuasca ceremony.

He had a very unusual and bad reaction, and instead of ending up oin hospital, he was taken to a yurt on our welsh woodland retreat and kept in a coma for a few days, when he finally reached hospital it was too late and the machines that go beep were turned off.... bowled out, way before his time. the full story will be somewhat later...,

The film concludes with a slo mo cricket sequence accompanied by the Roy Harper classic, When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease. Roy being incidentally, one of my brother Stefan's closest friends from the 1960's, sharing wives and lovers, so roy tells... stefan also died way too young, in a car crash in 1969

Photographed by his brother Stefan, Tyszko modeled the very first space hopper in Europe for the Daily Express in 1968. This glamorous high point has never been matched, and he has returned to this path in Holland park at various points in his life, looking perhaps, for echoes of those iconic moments and the sixpence he still bitterly remembers loosing.roy harper photographed by stefan tyszko in 1966

Later we hear excerpts from some soundscapes recently recorded on a trans american train journey

by our northern american correspondent marc maroosh of serephemera books phame,

An early morning stroll thought the markets of Paris with antiquarian Book dealer, Rock star, and all round Fine Egg Martin Stone and friends.

Martin buys an Elizabethan Manuscript and Adam buys some 1970's French Men's magazines, which although there are no winners in any pornography, feels slightly less offensive through the patina of age.

 

In this the Fund Raising Edition of Isotopica, we feature some delicious Soviet Era advertising from the creative association "Reklamfilm Estonian / Eesti reklaamfilm".

today we had some tracks from

Cries From The Midnight Circus _ Ladbroke Grove 1967-78

Mighty Baby" House with no windows

Quintessence" notting hill gate

as a lead up to my trip to paris to find Martin StoneThe Quintessence track Notting Hill Gate features the joyfully naive lyrics belowThings look great in Notting Hill Gate

They really move with the change in times

But only you can know the reason why

Why they hide behind their own third eye

Things look cool in Notting school

They never go about playing no rules

But only you can know the reason why

Why they fly in the sky so high

Getting it straight in Notting Hill Gate

We all sit around and meditate

But only you can know the reason why

Why we fly in the sky so high

The dead months of the new year can just disappear under grey skies or can be a magical time for travel or sleep. Either way this episode of isotopica takes elements of both to weave a seasonal sonic detour.
