This is my kind of collaboration. Eclectic and Soulful. My friend William Watson, and his friend Ebi Kagbala, are Death To Tennis, and they’ve been cultivating a series of interludes with musicians from New York City and Seoul. Styled in Death To Tennis. Rhythm their own. Unique. I’ve been listening to them for the last […]
Only a few days after writing my other newsletter Mellowing Blend, inspired by a conversation about Pantone colours – albeit of a more Autumnal flavour – they release their Colour Of The Year 2024 – Peach Fuzz 13-1023. Intuition, or coincidence?

They weren’t preaching to others. They were teaching himself. Which shifts the perspective, and feels like a lesson in itself. More curiosity = less […]
After reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being early last year for the second time, I wondered about the art of the cover, and tracked down the artist’s own website. David Miller’s work is nurtured from his fascination of Bohemian circus life and the Czech tradition of pantomime theatre. I assume his frequent visits to Prague […]
On the packed commuter train to school, Ryuichi Sakamoto would simply listen; to the sounds of the journey. Identifying a series of sounds that would occur on every trip.
