Had a great time yesterday talking with Claudio Bustamante - who knew far more about my career than I was expecting!

Thanks - I was trying to work out if they’d been there all along and I’d missed them…

These death masks of Isaac Newton, Oliver Cromwell and John Keats are doing my head in a little. It’s not like seeing a photo or a painting, there’s a real sense a physical person.

They were hiding on a bottom shelf in the wonderfully eccentric Wisbech and Fenland Museum. Well worth a visit.

Here’s a link to the show:

Delighted to be interviewed by and performing with pedal steel guitarist Joe Harvey-Whyte for his ambient show The Dream Stream on Soho Radio tonight at 10pm UK Time. Joe’s an incredible player, it was a joy.

The show will be available online shortly afterwards, I’ll post a link.

The Glacial Lake (Peter Chilvers Mix) YouTube video by foveahex

This remix of Glacial Lake by @foveahex.bsky.social was released 10 years ago. I’ve only done a handful of remixes, but think this is my favourite. A profoundly moving song by a deeply original band.

Pure (DiN17), by Markus Reuter & Ian Boddy 11 track album

Pure, by touch guitar virtuoso Markus Reuter @olderthangod.bsky.social and electronic music guru Ian Boddy is free to download / pay what you like until the end of October. There’s something really special about this hypnotic album, listen here:

It really happened!

@laurenlaverne.bsky.social your intro also got caught up in the Pulp / Mrs Marple mashup!

Mercury Prize 2025: Pulp present “compelling evidence” of ‘Miss Marple’ subtitles blunder Sam Fender won the top prize on the night

Of course, it’d be really weird if the music press picked up on it… Oh wait.

Here’s a nice little taster of the oddness of my showbiz-adjacent life.

And finally, a little bit of video I took at the beginning, with the sound of me saying “ooh that’s funny” removed. This is how it would have appeared to a deaf person…

Cabling has never been my strong suit. How I ended up looking after Brian Eno’s studio equipment remains a mystery.

IPlayer on an Apple TV. I’ve no idea if the issue was widespread or just on that platform. It doesn’t do it on playback sadly.

Unusually, it genuinely happened and no AIs were involved!

Running out of photos, but here’s Lauren Laverne’s intro. These may have been the correct subtitles, I’m not sure.

It was genuine! And genuinely funny.

I did look on iPlayer to see if Mrs. Marple was also running with Pulp lyrics for subtitles instead, but sadly not.

I think Jarvis lost the plot slightly with this moment of improv.

Here’s another classic Pulp chorus

That’s wonderful!

Seems to have been fixed now, sadly, but it was glorious while it lasted.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Listen again: This is not a disco / 09th September 2025

Never trust a jaunty melody! There could be anything hiding behind it.

Review | Peter Chilvers - Dust 4 by @zmnathanson.bsky.social

"You know that this will be a mournful time of looking at the destruction and the abandoned buildings will make you go inside and think of a place that once was, has now been stuck in the past."

Peter Chilvers - Dust 4 Listen to Dust 4 by Peter Chilvers.

Here are links to the streaming versions. I’m particularly pleased with the Atmos mixes on Apple Music and Tidal. Atmos seems a particularly good match for this kind of album. lnk.to/4dust

Dust 4 by Peter Chilvers. Filmed by Dion Johnson. (4K) YouTube video by Curious Music

Thrilled to have finally released Dust 4, my first full album on Curious Music. It was written in tandem with a beautiful 60 minute video by Dion Johnson, whose stunning drone footage perfectly captures the landscapes that inspired it.
