Guitarist and composer Harry Christelis presents his new album, Preserving Fictions - an exploration of how music and art can serve as a means to preserve and document the seeming truths we see, hear, feel, and experience every day. This record sees Christelis delve deeper into a sound world that has become synonymous with his name, fusing elements of jazz and folk traditions with ambient drones and delicate electronic textures to create a truly immersive listening experience. Featuring Christelis' long-standing quartet, the highly acclaimed musicians break free from their traditional roles within the jazz idiom. Instead, they embrace a deeply communal approach to improvisation, colouring, shaping, and delineating every moment of each piece together. Across the adventurous album, the listener is taken on a journey that moves through dreamy psychedelic trips, expansive soundscapes, delicate moments of intimacy, and furious bursts of energy - all seamlessly bound by a tone that holds sombre and hopeful feelings in harmonious equilibrium. “With shades of ECM, Jon Hassell and late-'60s Miles Davis, these meditative, minimalist creations are imbued with offbeat beauty.” - MOJO Harry Christelis: guitar George Crowley: saxophone Andrea Di Biase: double bass Dave Storey: drums Presented by Harry Christelis.

Natalie Wildgoose is a North Yorkshire- and London-based singer-songwriter whose music carves out space for stillness, memory, and the natural world. Raised among moors and mist-shrouded landscapes, she writes and records songs on vintage pianos scattered across the Yorkshire Dales, using her grandfather’s reel-to-reel tape recorder to capture the ambience and crackle of place. Her latest EP Come Into The Garden (2025) unfolds like a collection of ghost-songs: minimal piano, tender vocals, and subtle traces of analogue tape hiss. Wildgoose’s music occupies a haunting territory between folk, alt-country, and art-song - think trembling melodies, spare arrangements, and an almost archival intimacy. Her voice and approach have been likened to the spectral folk tradition of Molly Drake and Sibylle Baier. Emerging from poetry and place, Natalie’s songs draw on themes of nature, longing, and the rhythms of rural life, inviting listeners into quiet rooms, old halls, and the hush of moorland nights. As she hones her craft, she stands out as a captivating new voice in the UK folk and alt-folk scene - unafraid to lean into fragility and stillness, transforming memory and landscape into deeply felt music.

Anenon - Saxophonist, producer and composer Brian Allen Simon explores darker hues, transposing waking and altered states under his studio veil Anenon. On the deeply evocative new album ‘Dream Temperature’, he shifts electronic processing to the foreground, introducing digitized wind instruments and unworldly atmospherics, not heard since his innovating mid-late 2010s output.

While the penultimate album was a deliberate, reductive, entirely acoustic detour that was born out of a want to unplug, ‘Dream Temperature’ sees Brian primed with a newly discovered wind synthesizer as his central compositional tool, alongside acoustic piano and tenor saxophone. Ralph Heidel \- Ralph Heidel's third studio album, "anyways. onto better things," is his most personal and intimate work to date, focusing on hope while not shying away from heaviness.

Baba Yaga's Hut present: Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy at The Old Church, October 10th Following our previous church organ shows with Sarah Davachi, Kali Malone and Ellen Arkbro we are continuing our Organ Series on October 10th at The Old Church in Stoke Newington with an organ and cello performance by Natalia Beylis & Eimear Reidy celebrating the reissue of their amazing album She Came Through the Window to Stand by the Door. You can listen to it on Bandcamp here https://nataliabeylis.bandcamp.com/album/she-came-through-the-window-to-stand-by-the-door Recorded at St Georges Church, Carrick On Shannon, Leitrim on a cold early January with a William Telford Organ. Built in 1846, it is reputed to be the second oldest organ in Ireland. TRACK 1/SIDE A: 'Pour Upon The Sky' is a story told by the two voices of cello and organ. Influenced by the rhetorical style of 18th century vocal music, the inspiration for this piece came naturally to Eimear who has a background in early music and has performed alongside the organ in a variety of settings from chamber works to Bach's larger orchestral works such as St Matthew Passion. In 18th century music, the cello & organ perform a role as continuo players. Traditionally the cello and organ are both intertwined and interdependent, playing the bass line and harmonies together and providing a foundation for the rest of the ensemble while soloists come in and out. In 'Pour Upon The Sky', Eimear and Natalia play within and without of this traditional form. Freed from the need to hold the solid ground for an ensemble, the cello and organ playfully explore the space as they pass the role of solo and continuo back and forth. TRACK 2/SIDE B: 'The Whistling Dust' is a slow steady study of the microscopic flutters of the organs and the organ. The heart of the Telford rattles and breathes as the cello dances in and out. When Natalia & Eimear began working on these pieces in the cold January, the Telford, which seemed like it had been sitting quietly for quite some time, shook and trembled as its insides were awoken. 'The Whistling Dust' speaks to the moment when the instrument moved alive, every opened stop knob of the pipes bringing the feel of the microsounds of the machine closer and closer as the cello offers utterances of encouragement.
