Following the year, here is the next seasonal provocation. The Autumn Equinox, a time of equal day and night, a point of balance before the start of shorter days, before the turn towards winter. My piece appears at 4m30s; I hope you enjoy it.

Hello from a chilly April Tyneside.
Radiophrenia’s 2025 Festival has come to a close (Thanks to all involved for another wonderful two weeks of Glasgow-based 24/7 sound art). Whilst Radiophrenia works on a “miss it and its gone” basis, I tend to work on a more forgiving principle …
A couple of my pieces had “waking up early” starts and so, in case you prioritised staying asleep at 4:00 AM – a not unreasonable lifestyle choice – or if you wanted to listen to any of my pieces again, they are now loaded onto SoundCloud where you can listen to them at your leisure. To hopefully make life easier, I have grouped them as a playlist “Radiophrenia 2025” (link below).
If you would like to receive occasional emails about my work, usually about one a month, then copy this link – subscribepage.io/MFCLEV – and paste it into your web browser to sign up.
Thanks, as ever, for your interest.
=======================================
The link for my playlist “Radiophrenia 2025” is – https://soundcloud.com/mpeccles/sets/radiophrenia-2025?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
or, if you prefer not to open embedded links, then put “Soundcloud Martin P Eccles” into your internet browser; this **should** produce a page of search results with my Soundcloud page at the top. Click on the offered link and you should arrive at my page. “Playlists” should be one of six options below my banner photo; click on playlists and look for “Radiophrenia 2025” – hopefully it will be the top option; enjoy.

So, I am delighted to say that my PhD is completed … many thanks to the many people who facilitated this.
