Space Owl Takes You on a Musical Journey with "Flask" Step beyond the threshold of expectation with Space Owl's latest single, "Flask," a genre-bending odyssey that serves not merely as a song but as an alchemical transformation of sound. Navigating through the celestial confluences of prog rock, jazz fusion, and classical music, this track shapeshifts from audial stardust to solid ground beneath your feet. https://open.spotify.com/track/5JCNC1fzJYLhvKKcs6l0T2?si=0967b6a2cdae4350 "Flask" begins with the whisper of strings plucked by virtuoso guitarist Ari Joshua; each note is like a spark in the quiet darkness before dawn. As dawn breaks, John Ewing's drums beat out rhythms reminiscent at once of heartbeats and distant thunder—utterly organic yet commanding in their precision. Bob Lovelace’s bass undercurrent runs deep and strong: it’s both anchor and compass for this intricate vessel captained by melody. Then there's David Appelbaum on keyboards—a sorcerer summoning harmonious storms within clouds shaped like grand pianos. Sometimes he is Steve Winwood driving through Spencer Davis Group-era traffic; at others, he channels Rick Wakeman taking Yes to unexplored galaxies. As "Flask" weaves its enchanting melodies throughout shifting time signatures and key changes, listeners are invited onto an undulating carpet ride where complexity feels effortless—almost improvised despite its obvious craftsmanship. The record moves you through halls decked with Escher-like tessellations made audible; twists around Charybdis’ swirling syncopation without succumbing to her depths. Space Owl's members become architechts engaged in constructing an intricately detailed sonic landscape—breathtakingly expansive no matter which direction you turn your ear. You find yourself awash in lush orchestrations that bow respectfully to Mogwai or Mahavishnu Orchestra inspired crescendos while also borrowing whispers from Chopin nocturnes when tenderness takes center stage during contemplative interludes. [caption id="attachment_53543" align="alignnone" width="720"] Space Owl Takes You on a Musical Journey with "Flask"[/caption] What remains consistent across "Flask”'s dynamic range is an undercurrent vibe—an energy born not merely from sound but also from silence waiting patiently between notes. This pause lends gravity to every return as trains of rhythm reengage after wandering playful diversions into melodic wilderness. To listen here is not just hearing—it’s experiencing something unique yet universally intuitive: evolution captured in audio form where past tradition meets future potential amid present expressionist painting contours drawn by four artists showing us what they see behind closed eyes used for looking inward rather than outward. Far more than merely another catchy tune cluttering airwaves already over-populated by fleeting trills posing as anthems—the ingenuity displayed within “Flask” promises staying power among playlists harboring desires for journeys both vast in imagined distance traversed and rich with returns paid handsomely upon arrival back home at song’s end In short, Space Owl doesn't soar—they transcend—with a flight path charted straight into adventurous hearts open wide enough to welcome merging worlds knit together seamlessly via threads pulled lovingly from genres less stirred about classification tags preferring rather simply being called exhilarating experiences designed delightfully for ears too often tempted settle down instead soaring skyward alongside owls daring explore space nestled deeply inside music endlessly revealing hidden treasures secured safely within flask crafted carefully composed cosmic wonder.

The Sun burnt clouds but glimmer to the sight, When at fam’d Buxton’s hot bath we alight. Unto St. Ann the Fountain sacred is: With waters hot and cold its sources rise, And in its Sulphur-veins there’s med’cine lies. Thomas Hobbes.

At Buxton well dressing festival; Buxton is a town I’ve always loved along with its surrounds, and you can see my series here,here and here in which I talk about the ancient and modern history of the town.

Here I am back for the first time since 2019; thanks to the STILL ongoing covid-19 pandemic, there was no festival or well dressing in 2020, and while a fine well dressing (2) was made in 2021, there was not a festival, so I made up for three missed years today.

(1) is from 1904, and (7) the then-Princess Elizabeth, who became queen in 1952 and whose Platinum Jubilee we celebrate this year, on her visit in 1949.

In 1852 William George Spencer Cavendish, 6th Duke of Devonshire, who owned most of the town (please see here for more) employed Henry Currey, an architecht who worked at his gorgeous home at Chatsworth, to design a new St Ann’s Well on a millennia-old spring, from which I drank at the festival. (It would be a fool’s errand to come here and buy water sice it literally wells up from the ground!)

 It tasted clean and fresh, more mineraly than the waters of Tideswell and Endon which were mostly rain; Buxton water bears the marks of its underground birth, and mine was slightly warm whereas the other waters had been cold.

For a remarkable 52 years from 1854, Robert Brunt designed wells for Buxton, at his death in 1915 (nine years into a well-earned retirement), Buxton folk vowed to keep the flame burning, and more than a hundred years after that you can see that they have succeeded.

Walking down from Higher Buxton, the historic town centre, we went to the mostly 18th-century new town (Please see here for my history of the town and its surroundings).

The themes were 100 years since the tomb of Tutankhamun was discovered by Howard Carter (there was an exhibition of Tutankhamun in London, but I couldn’t go due to covid lockdown), defending Ukraine against Kremlin imperialism, drugs bubblegum (8) and the Platinum Jubilee.

Then it was a walk through Poole’s Cavern and the gardens and park and out, as we sadly did not have time to go to the elegant 18th-century St John the Baptist (I’m itching to do a shoot here but have never actually been inside), though this wrong will be righted next year.

Buxton, though now becoming a dormitory town of Manchester and Sheffield, remembers the source from which the modern town flowed; the local shopping centres are called the Cavendish and the Springs.

Given that this town is built on water, Buxton folk agree with the Samarian woman who was the star of the 1905 well dressing, “Give me the water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw”.

Broken Clouds, 16°C

Unnamed Road, 8650 Sagres, Portugal

Thursday 25th April 2019

Liberation Day

Today was a public holiday in Portugal , celebrating the revolution of todays date in 1974 which overthrew the dictatorial government known as Estado Novo ( New State) which had been in power since a coup in 1926 and which had survived the death of its principal architecht Antonio Salazar in 1970 (Educational and topical today , what's not to like ?) Today was sunny and finally we seem to be on the cusp of some decent weather although the wind was still very strong and cool which would account for the 16 degree recorded temperature. Remember the eccentric old couple in the old Mercedes, well there was another amusing twist this morning. As we were about to set off to the beach for the day I saw the old lady summoning me over to her . I had earlier seen, her probably still angry partner going off for a walk and I presumed that perhaps she was going to apologise for his outburst yesterday evening. She asked if I could speak French and I replied ''A little'' she then went on to say that if I still wanted to take a photograph of their car then I could do so but would have to pay one Euro per photograph. I laughed and told her it was not that important to me and she wished me Bon voyage . Couldn't make it up ! We spent a very pleasant four hours or so at the more popular of the two local beaches. Watching the surfers and the would be surfers. Dogs were forbidden and appropriate signage was in place however as we have noted in Portugal these signs seem to be ignored by the locals and we did likewise although sat back from the sandy area on the rocks overlooking the beach. Annie was getting a bit hot as we were sheltered from the wind so I constructed a bit of a sun shelter for her using some rocks and Rhians beach shawl. After our stint at the beach we returned to the van and decided to spend the night at the nearby ''End of the world''. We are currently parked up in our overnighter which is about 200 metres from the most south westerly point of the European mainland. The cliffs and ocean are quite spectacular
