From the forthcoming EP “Palimpsest” by Mikey Fingers.

Lots on. First up, we’re having a DabbledooMusic party in the Twisted Pepper this Saturday to celebrate our successful Fundit campaign and say thanks to y’all. Get down for 8PM SHARP cos we’re gonna have a big jam session with some graphic scores (bring an instrument!), then A-Force and me are DJing, then Attention Bebe are playing live.

‘That sounds mega, I wanna go!’ you say.

‘NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM,’ we say.

Then we’re gonna hit the Grand Social where Savage and Rudimentary are crewing up to bring you a tasty line-up celebrating a forthcoming Rudimentary release which features Boxcutter, Bass Clef and Sina.

‘What about Sunday?’ you say.

‘We’ll be dancing in your kitchen still,’ we say.

Sun Ra documentary from 1974, worth a watch.

BANGER.

Rachel Bothwell from Number Krunch sat down with Shane McKenna and myself recently over a cup of tea to chat about DabbledooMusic, post-successful Fundit campaign. Here’s a quick snippet:

RB: So tell me what you’re trying to achieve at DabbledooMusic?

Shane: It’s a new method of teaching music in primary schools aimed at teachers, children and parents. It exists as a workbook that we self published last December and a free online resource, for use in the classroom or at home. It’s based around a new type of musical notation called graphical notation, which uses moving shapes and colours on a screen instead of classical notation, which uses notes and bars etc.
