The Dark Outside Inside Online

Hi folks,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well.
Just a quick one; more info on the Dark Outside broadcast, as threatened!
This will be happening tomorrow (Saturday 4th April), starting at 12.00 midday, finishing some time after midday Sunday. I can’t tell you what time my contribution will be played as no one knows until it happens, so there is an element of chance involved here! But why not listen to the whole thing (if you have the stamina!), or dip in and out of it? The Dark Outside broadcasts are eclectic, always interesting, and normally you would have to travel to a remote forest to hear them!
The track I submitted is my own loopy version of Picforth’s ‘In Nomine a 5’, a 16th-century viol piece. Some of you may know I’ve been obsessed with this piece for many years, so I really enjoyed working on it. It’s a one-off, so if you want to hear it you will need to tune in tomorrow.
Here are the details of how to do that: https://www.darkoutside.co.uk/post/614297362333089792/the-da-dark-inside-not-outside-and-online-or

Greetings all,
I hope you are keeping safe and well, my dears.
Just to let you know that Mr DeXter Bentley will be playing one of my creations on the Hello Goodbye Show on Resonance FM tomorrow (Saturday 28th March), 12.00-1.30 pm.
The show’s always worth a listen, but of added interest tomorrow is the ‘featured artist’, my friends and colleagues David Cronenberg’s Wife. Do tune in!

In other news, many of you will know about the Dark Outside project – an annual 24-hour radio broadcast in a forest ‘where no one may be listening’ – to which I have now contributed three specially-written brand new pieces in previous years. This year is no exception, and the broadcast was supposed to be taking place this weekend. Even in a dark forest, though, social isolation cannot be guaranteed, so there is now talk of the broadcast happening online instead, some time soon. The Dark Outside Inside, if you like. It’s all tbc as yet so I’ll bring you more news on this as soon as possible. You can also follow them on Twitter here.

Despite gig cancellations and so forth, rest assured that I am not idle, and working hard on the next EP, Rota Fortunae II. Rota Fortunae I is of course still available at https://katearnolduk.bandcamp.com/album/rota-fortunae-i-ep and the more people who buy it, the sooner I’ll be able to release Part 2. Needless to say, your support is hugely appreciated at this time when musicians are inevitably losing a lot of work. I know the circumstances are difficult for everyone though.

There will be more news from me before too long! Meanwhile I hope you are all alright, and take care of yourselves, your loved ones and anyone else you can help safely.
I hope to see you again soon!
Love

Kate

INDESCRIBABLE EVENT – 20th/21st June 2019 – The Dark Outside in Waltham Forest

Kate Arnold — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 19:02:20 +0000

Well, it can be described; just not in the snappy way required for one of these post titles.

Each year since I first heard about the The Dark Outside, I’ve contributed a brand new track to the project. Some metamorphosed into other things, some seem to have become favourites at my live shows. I wonder what will happen to this one? I do know I’m especially pleased with it. It’s called #TheWindandIMustSing.

Get yourself a radio and come to Epping Forest, 20th/21st June to hear it (and a multitude of other weird and interesting sounds)! https://www.facebook.com/events/2340454432904299/
