The Tower

On the 31st August 2023 Amber performed a brand new audio piece about The Tower in Glasgow supporting The Wind podcast as part of their world tour. This is a recording of their set.

This is just a quick announcement to say that the soundtrack for Part 3 of The Tower is now available to pre-order from the Tin Can Audio Bandcamp page.

If you pre-order the album you'll get my favourite track on the album, 'These Lifeless Things' right away, that's the track playing behind me.

The full album will be released on Bandcamp and on most streaming services on May 21st. I've put a pre-save link in the shownotes.

The score for Part 3 was some of the most challenging, but also some of the most rewarding, music I've ever had the pleasure of making. It ties together a lot of musical themes and threads from Part 1 & 2 while also introducing some of its own sounds and motifs.

It also has a lot of very, very tasty synth textures and we played around with a lot of tape effects with this soundtrack. I'm very proud of it, I think it's some of the best music from the series.

Thank to everyone who has listened and continues to listen to this series and its soundtrack. I can't quite believe we've made it this far!

We are in the process of figuring out the final part of the series. I don't really have any news other than that but I thought it was important to let you know that there is going to be another part.

That will hopefully be appearing sooner rather than later but, in the meantime, please enjoy the rest of this track and thank you so much for listening, and thank you so much for being here.

Apologies for the mini feed drop, I try to avoid these things as much as I can during a series release.

At the end of 2022, the Scottish Parliament finally passed the long awaited Gender Recognition Reform Bill, a bill that makes the process for legally recognising a trans man or woman's gender slightly more straightforward and more respectful, bringing Scotland in line with the United Nations international practice and adopted by 30 countries, including most of the United States.

The UK government announced yesterday that they would be blocking the bill from becoming law, effectively undermining the Scottish government's decision and actively choosing to make the lives of trans people more difficult.

Putting aside the constitutional and political issues that this causes. This decision to use trans people as a political football and treating them as a threat to be contained rather than, you know, people, means that being trans in Scotland is going to be difficult and exhausting for the next while, as if it wasn't already.

All of this is to say that, for the rest of the month, I will splitting the money from Bandcamp sales between Gendered Intelligence, a grassroots organisation that works to increase visibility and understanding of trans people, and Small Trans Library Glasgow, a mutual aid organisation in the city where I live.

If you can, please consider buying something, like a season pass for The Tower or the soundtracks to Part 1 & 2. Or, even better, consider donating directly to the organisations mentioned, I'll put links in the shownotes.

Thank you for listening, and stay safe out there.
