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.

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.

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."

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

… and piano heaven. I rediscovered Telegraph Road a few weeks ago, having not listened in decades. Their best album, it think.

Weird, I was trying to work out if Brian had ever been to Glastonbury (I’m guessing not), and this was one of the first results on Google.

Peter Chilvers @peterchilvers.com · Jun 22

Thank you! We were originally just thinking of some images to add atmosphere, but it became something of a love letter to the fens. It’s a wonderful landscape to lose yourself in.

Peter Chilvers @peterchilvers.com · Jun 21

Lovely piece! I like the typo too, I think Theo should change his name to “The Travis” from now on. Has an element of bling to it.

Peter Chilvers @peterchilvers.com · Jun 21

Curious Music wanted to make an atmospheric music video, a live performance, and an interview explaining how a track was made. So filmmaker Dion Johnson and I set about doing all three simultaneously: youtu.be/BhntdvhURVk?...

Thanks Rodney - great photos! Nice to see you there.

Peter Chilvers @peterchilvers.com · Jun 10

Thank you - so pleased you’re enjoying it!

Quite! It was unexpected though, by me at least. I hadn’t thought beyond making an experimental music device, but we quickly started getting messages from carers of autistic children as well as dementia patients. And many, many parents getting children to sleep…

Peter Chilvers @peterchilvers.com · Jun 10

I’m a bit late stumbling across this post, but thank you! I’m wary of making any bold claims about Bloom, but we’ve had anecdotal reports of people with advanced dementia responding well to it. One non-verbal patient started happily singing along with it, which was very moving.

Small world! I joined MI in 94, I think, and was on Creatures a year or so later. Maybe we met!
