Lengthy Blogposts Now More Digestible as Audio

I'm often told that my more substantial blogposts are a strain on the eyes, on the spare time and on the scrolling finger. People are always promising me that they'll get around to reading my latest tract properly at some point, but I can see the panic in their eyes.

So I've recorded three of my longest blogposts as spoken word audio together with excerpts from the music under discussion and other musical examples. They're uploaded to Soundcloud and embedded in the original blogposts, which also allows you to download them as high-quality mp3s to listen to away from the computer screen. Not only does this make them a little easier to take in, it also enables me to demonstrate exactly what I'm taking about with an appropriate auditory example, rather than relying on people scrolling through an unreliable YouTube video. I'm hoping to do the same for each future blogpost of this kind as they arrive.

The recordings are a little homemade and imperfect (I'm no BBC narrator) but are hopefully fit for purpose. Now you can hear me going on about hauntological harmony, Burial's cadences or gliding square-wave synths on the way to or from work, about the house, on long walks or car journeys, or gathered together with the whole family in rigidly enforced silence.
