Rich Squires

I released my only solo album on Bandcamp 2 years ago. Still pretty chuffed with it, and it still reflects my main inspirations of weird jazz, ambient, dub etc. Didn't do a huge amount to promote it, but did get a play on BBC 6 Music's Freakzone! richardsquires.bandcamp.com/album/rhyme-...

#NowPlaying #MusicSky Steve Tibbetts - Big Map Idea (1989)

#NowWatching The Straight Story - David Lynch (1999) Not watched this in years & forgotten how serene and moving it is. Reminds me of Miyazaki, with unhurried scenes of rural life, work & landscape, as well as moments of elderly wisdom. Richard Farnsworth is incredible. No Rammstein, but hey...

Excited to tuck into this Trilogy of Tibbetts - great condition and picked up for a very reasonable price from Out of Time Records, Norwich, this afternoon.

#NowPlaying "If they push that button, you can kiss your ass goodbye"

#NowPlaying The most joyful of the 'Ambient' series. Busy with crystalline sound - so probably not ambient? Regardless, incredibly beautiful and reflective.

#NowPlaying #MusicSky My favourite type of Dub Encounter

A Mexican Buñuel. Delightfully odd.

Thoughts on a recent re-watch of Bela Tarr's 'Damnation'.

Tonight's movie

About one third of the way into Michael Powell's autobiography and absolutely loving it. The descriptions of his childhood years living on a hop farm in Kent are beautifully evocative. He's like an old charmer, recounting tales over a bitter in some oak-panelled Soho boozer.

Tonight's movie

#NowPlaying Seems like every new-to-me jazz record I've recently listened to instantly takes a place in my top 5 jazz records of all time.

Tonight's re-watch. A haunting, revenge drama set in the fog-drenched forests of Czechoslovakia during the final days of WW2.

#NowPlaying Such an interesting hotch-potch of different styles, all inimitably Ayers.

#NowPlaying Some classic MPB from 1972. Those harmonies... <swoons>
