This year will throw up a number of new releases and projects, including a guitar piece on the new 'Imaginational Anthem' compilation released on US label Tompkins Square. There will be a ltd 8"single release in the springtime and also the album release of an exciting project I worked on in Paris in 2013 with James Blackshaw, Charlotte Glasson and Duane Pitre.

 

I'm currently recording new music out in The Fens of Cambridgeshire and it looks very likely that I will be busy playing music this summer....stay tuned!

A perpetual twilight, new compilation track and 12k artwork for Sakamoto + Deupree

Summer is almost over but I recently wrote some words about my summer in the Fens, where I reside in East Anglia, that was published this month by the fantastic 'Caught By The River' website.

Read it Here:

http://www.caughtbytheriver.net/2013/07/a-perpetual-twilight/

Keep your eye on my website for upcoming gigs and an exclusive soon-to-be-released track 'Water Shadow' that is forthcoming on a new Ghostly International label 'SMM' compilation called 'Opiate':

http://ghostly.com/releases/smm-opiate

 

"The record opens with Simon Scott's "Water Shadow," a luxuriant piece of beatless ambience that's like a wash of warm water or the first touch of the summer sun on your face after a long, cold winter".

I am busy in the studio finishing various musical projects and future releases so stay tuned"!

I have produced exclusive new artwork for the forthcoming Ryuichi Sakamoto & Taylor Deupree album 'Disappearance'. It is a wonderful album and will be on many 'Best Of 2013' lists I am sure:

http://www.12k.com/index.php/site/releases/disappearance/

 In the meantime my 12k CD 'Below Sea Level', that is close to selling out at 12k HQ, is now available in the ever-supportive Caught By The River shop (grab a copy of the 'On Nature' book too):

http://www.caughtbytheriver.net/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=71&product_id=400

Field Recording fanzine available, Simon Scott web feature and a brand new mix (free download).

Cheryl Tipp, the Natural Sounds Curator at the British Library, has put together and edited an astonishing latest edition of 'An Antidote to Indifference' for http://www.caughtbytheriver.net/2013/07/24694-field-recordings/. My 'Below Sea Level' album feature from 2012 is included and I am delighted to be part of such an insightful and interesting feature!
