21/11/19: As slyly-whispering tendrils of lilac fog entwine, eternal woodlands pout & bristle, wind-carved seascapes subliminally confide and distant limestone gorges sweetly sing, a NEW Autumnal-winter LP offering from t’MWC has been both delightfully unearthed and exquisitely summoned!
CAVITY SLABS (GEpH013LP) features the most focused, hocused MWC Momentum Musicke conjured thusly far! 8 SLABS of deftly-hued long-form Northern Edwardian-Neo-Elizabethan Psychedelic Hallucinatory Occult Landscape Breakbeat (NENE-PHOLB(?))!
These all propulsive, melodious, occasionally roughly-hewn SLABS of MWC tuneage are exceptionally ideal for traversing ancient moorland, rounded hills, plateaus, valleys, burial mounds, gritstone escarpments AND potentially edifying home-ritual requirements!
This lovingly-crafted LP contains minimal text and maximum illustration to potentially allow myriad esoteric interpretations. But if at any time you are in doubt ~ COAX ANCIENT VOICES FROM THE LANDSCAPE
Accompanying CAVITY SLABS is the 2020 SPECTRAL MONTHS CALENDAR! After the 2019 edition became one of the most requested items of Blank Workshop emanation, a follow-up was deemed inescapably inevitable!
This A4 size edition features a disorienting array of MWC VIDEO JAMMED imagery ~ 100% extracted from painstakingly spliced freeze-frame VHS tapes, then deftly sugared-up and simmered together in a unique MWC VIDEO JAMMING (in both signal-blocking / home economical senses) style! Surely a first in the barren-confines of the un-tapped empty echoing calendar marketplace.
Featuring 28 130gsm A4 silk stock full-colour ‘double-spread’ pages incorporating 12 months and a DISTURBING BONUS FEATURE, the 2020 SPECTRAL MONTHS calendar is certain to provide a perplexing, off-kilter wobbly unsettling talking point for the entirety of the / a forthcoming year(s)!

ADDITIONALLY order CAVITY SLABS and the 2020 SPECTRAL MONTHS CALENDAR together in the CAV CAL BUNDLE and you’ll receive a FREE A5 350gsm extra wonky VIDEO JAMMING POSTCARD!
One of 6 randomly selected hallucinogenic designs! While the stocks they do last!

GHASTLY GARDEN CENTRES (GEpH012CD) expertly nurtures-up a coagulating environment of sinister herbaceous borders, stifling hothouses, eerie polytunnels, ornamental tat, rain-damp paving and rum pet areas all inexorably infused with the heady-bloated bouquet of rancid creosote, unstable pesticides, special promotion compost and what could be cheese toasties wafting in from the over-priced and under-staffed cafeteria.
Dedicated to those working in garden (and quite possibly) all retail, GGC plays out like a NOW CD that’s been trapped in a glove compartment for far too long. 22 three minute chart hits from a quagmire dimension provide what could be the most accessible MWC release to date! As the tune-friendly beat-filled GGC tendrils take root between your ears you could almost (almost) be experiencing an eternal motion-sickness Sunday afternoon Top 40 countdown c1993. Almost.
Delightfully presented in a swanky full-colour 6 panel reverse-board digifile, GHASTLY GARDEN CENTRES is your indispensable accompaniment to ALL future / past gone-to-seed Garden Centre weekend wanderings!

A veritable treat for the long-term MWC fanatic or inquisitive newcomer, CATMASK is delightfully printed on tip-top 130gsm Matte Silk (whoever he is) paper with a 300gsm Matte Laminate (whoever he is) cover, and took even our exceptionally well-staffed Blank Workshop / publishing house team MANY MANY months of dedicated shift-work to enable its majestic completion.

Orders continue at the OWD ONLINE GIFTSHOP REET NOW if you are tentatively-pondering a MWC musicke-object delve.
CHEERS!
22/11/17: Dear Friends! 2 ALL-NEW MWC items have manifested to sate even the most confusion-demanding of appetites!
CATEARED CHOCOLATIERS (GEpH011LP) is an LP of the most splendidly experimental MWC Musicke so far. Originally-fresh and sprightly compositions are slurred, smudged and smeared. Fragmentary voices become instruments that loop and unfurl to catch up with themselves, whilst Formaldehyde Beats© chug unhealthily around the lingering remnants of rhythm and carpet-dustily clog-up all the autumnal sunshine.
Musicke such as this could only have escaped from a dreame, and it’s accompaniment to an interactive board game exquisitely highlights this delightfully disembodied nature.
If you’ve ever found yourself attempting to traverse a confectionary realm of fancy, where rolls of knock-down carpets merge into ominous gaslit alleyways, and lumbering-crumbling slabs of toffee collapse in the distance ~ all-the-while anxiously attempting to catch the last train out of town (you know you’re going to miss) then CATEARED CHOCOLATIERS will simply make purrfect sense!
For everyone else, this beautifully designed LP with FULL COLOUR FOLD-OUT A1 game board, full rules of play and 6 character cards, will recreate that experience with such sweet, uncanny exactitude you’ll soon be juggling your CATLERY© with uninhibited abandon as the FEAST OF BLUE DUSK flickers fleetingly in front of you, before eternally ebbing away inside a reverberating squall of misty laughter.
TANTALISING MEWS (GEpH011CD) is an ALL-NEW double CD of MWC, housed in an exceptionally fancy bespoke reverse-board oversize 6-panel Digifile thematically derived from that slightly out-of-place street in your hometown you pass every day but never go down.
DISC A contains 22 tracks of finely honed beat-driven kaleidoscopically melodious Musicke to infectiously infuse any inter-rail odyssey or extensive ramble around deconsecrated housing estates. All the unexpected expected unique MWC tricks and traits are proudly unfurled alongside a confusingly-coherent fresh confidence of purpose derived from over a decade of following idiosyncratic pathways whilst maintaining an uncanny ear for variations within the distantly revolving dance-floor.
DISC B contains 22 tracks of drifty-dreame environment and mildly mildewed melody, a sweet-smelling feathering fog of wistfully romantic and unsettling moods, prescribed as a unsettling sleeping draught taken underneath a much-loved lavender blanket. Long-form beat-free compositions nestle charmingly next to a gaslight spirit-web of sly disassociation and mnemonic trickery. Ghostly apparitions wave from far-away lilac window-frames, and the fancy figure forming out of midnight-mist in the apple orchard looks really weirdly familiar.
When the laughing stranger in the supermarket inevitably points an exquisite claw, the lady behind you in the post office queue displays a vulpine smile, and the gardener’s whiskers bristle with feline vitality, you’ll be eternally thankful for your familiarity with all the occupants of TANTALISING MEWS.
For those ordering both CATEARED CHOCOLATIERS and TANTALISING MEWS an ADDITIONAL LOCATION (postcard) for the boardgame will be included!
PRE-ORDER for a 31/11/2017 release date (1st December in some Time-Frames)
For all items please allow 7-10 days delivery for UK, 7-21 days for Europe, and up to 28 days for the rest of the world.

Why Does My House Make Creaking Noises? is a deftly crafted fancy selection of Jacobean Electronic Musicke (JEM), perfectly composed to accompany plotting in secret rooms with the clandestine thought forms of a well-dressed ghost. Perhaps more concentrated than ever before, these 8 tunes will have you anxiously dancing with extreme vim as familiar spirits echo through the wood panelling ~ all aLIVE from 1625!
Playclothes From Faraway Places delightfully jacks immaculately turned-out-and-up midnight boogie-movie production into a 120-130 bpm 80s evocation of esoteric happenings within a fashion-house of unusual pursuits. These 22 tracks will have you twitching through an electro-pop body-swap of dislocated funk whilst containing enough of an extended ambient suite to allow out-of-depth contemplation!
BUT THAT IS NOT ALL
As Jacobean peculiarities and 80s fashion mysterium seem to be entirely unconnected, certain kindly long-suffering dabblers may be concerned that these DUEL releases are entirely incomprehensible, even by past MWC 'standards'. In order to alleviate such concerns, a 12 page and extremely fancy GLOSSY BROCHURE bumper seasonal number of the LOVELY DAY has been painstakingly manufactured to allow an in-depth and entirely lucid explanation of these fresh goings-on. Profusely illustrated in full colour, this REASONABLY LIMITED item will almost certainly become a treasured heirloom for years and years and years to come!
PLUS For those kindly procuring the LP, CD and GLOSSY BROCHURE triple, there is a FREE GIFT of an A4 fancy art print ~ One of four randomly selected designs printed on luxury Matte 200gsm premium paper stock. limited quantities available!
HOP SKIP to the BW shop with ample expediency!

LEPORINE PLEASURE GARDENS envelopes you within a kaleidoscopic attraction of charming fancy and consummate variety. For the determinedly discerning thrill-seeker there is the CD version ~ 22 tracks of splendid audio chicanery, often propelled by intricate rhythms and a newly devised complexity that precisely mirrors a half-remembered long-eared trance-speed world of warped dimensions and jugged kinetosis.
For the patient botanical connoisseur there is the LP version ~ Two intricately crafted long-form compositions baked full of impressively smudged and misty effects that will have you endlessly revisiting a slow-drift dream-tour of intangible garden realms: one by day, and one by night. Both are smothered in a rich, ethereal and satisfying syrup of narcoleptic blur.
Aye ~ both versions of LEPORINE PLEASURE GARDENS contain entirely different ~ but exceedingly complimentary ~ musical experiences.
For those kindly & intrepid enough to purchase both versions (A LEPPY BUNDLE) there is an added incentive ~ one of five randomly selected HEXCLUSIVE postcards!

05/06/14: Like a discarded shoe lobbed on top of a bus shelter, the next release from Gecophonic Audio System Productions has appeared ~ WOODBINES & SPIDERS (GASP!02LP).
W&S is the result of a seven year slow-motion collaboration between Mr Brooks (TAC/Ghostbox/CafeKaput) & Mr Hodgson (MWC) and contains a variety of expected, unexpected and infected slabs of music, all infused with the decaying delights of their surroundings, often fogged-up and coughing in the rain.
Utilising found sound and unfound sound with an extensive variety of outdated/futuristic synthetic instruments and obsolete/custom-built equipment, Woodbines & Spiders is a mouldy field trip of off-centre properties & musical-grot locations, many of which no longer exist, do not yet exist or never existed in the first place. Regressive voices slouch around and fields sag with unnatural gas. The insides are rotten while facades have a pleasingly unwelcome countenance.
You can have a rapid taste of W&S here

4/12/13: Dear All. Many have you have written to inquire exactly when 33/11/1903 will be. It was our intention that it would be today. However, due to an unforeseen oversight in the Blank Workshop precognition department, it transpires that TAPE copies of A FONDNESS FOR FANCY HATS have curiously all SOLD OWT. Obviously, we cannot have an album release day with this vital component missing, so it has been decided that 33/11/1903 will be postponed until a sufficient gaggle have been re-duplicated.
Anyone celebrating 33/11/1903 prematurely may be subject to an extended glowering and subsequent souring of the milk. Many thanks to all who kindly pre-ordered. As of this morning all orders have been posted off at the Clinkskell Post Of Ice.

There are two flavours for your potential delight.
The traditional CD version features 22 tracks of rarified CEEM and is simmered to perfection with a variety of tempos and freshly devised electronic tricks.
While a Limited Tape Cassette endeavour has been spliced-up over many moonlit nights in conjunction with SOFT CONFUSION for truly immersive long-form murky-sonic meanderings. This item arrives housed in a curious casing pressed from an original 1970s moulding, has the potential to be mistaken for a departed form of interactive entertainment, and, of course, will not be available in any other format.

04/09/11: Delightful news for the empty-walled folk ~ A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding A3 Poster-prints sets are now available!
Due to (reasonably) popular demand, you can now relive the wondrous, hazy-days of yesteryear (2010/11) and gaze for hours at enlarged and extended idiosyncratic etchings of the confusing record with 3 highly decorative different covers.
Each print measures 30x40cm, is printed on high-quality 200gsm Matt-Silk art paper and will snugly fit within a UK/US A3-size frame.
Signed and numbered by the artist, each set costs a rather reasonable £20.00 (postage & packing included). There are only limited quantities available, they will not be reprinted, and they will be sent to you within a thick cardboard tube. The first MWC poster-print collection (from last year) sold out, so do consider a purchase with reasonably swift pondering.

18/07/11: Oh! A kindly review of 'Somewhere a Fox is Getting Married' has turned up in the August edition of Clash periodical:
18/05/11: You delve inside your handbag and retrieve Almond Talbot's travel-sized Psychophon.
The strange, sweet sounds that issue from this antique device lull the puppet-creature into a swoon-y-state and you skip past into the hallway.
It is dark and very cold here. There are two large windows that look out across the neglected gardens. In the distance you can see a Moontower. The croquet lawn is now full of sunken horses, who observe you with laconic detachment.
Passing in front of a rotting mirror, you decide to quickly change your hair colour.
Midway through choosing which burgundy hue, you pause and notice several figures reflected there that are not within the hallway.
The figures are quite insubstantial, but you can just about make out the features of the nearest one, who resembles an enormous cat.
He calls out 'I saw you, Missis!' and the mirror turns to smoke.
Somewhat taken aback, you must act quickly or risk missing your tea.
Do you have a giant ball of wool?

It will provide a talking-point for years to come, and remain a cherished souvenir of an event that quite possibly never took place...
04/04/11: It is rather gloomy within the old house. Every room seems to be the wrong shape and full of peculiar carvings.The atmosphere is quite stuffy, with the distinctive, cloying aroma of burnt treacle.
In the corner of the billiard room is a large antique dresser. Slowly dancing upon this are an odd puppet-creature with an unsuitable animal face and a strange purple bird. You are not completely surprised when they both break into a smile and notion at you to sit in one of their dusty armchairs.
Unwrapping a boiled sweet you politely refuse, only too aware that these curiously cavorting creatures are after your teatime invitation card.
After a few moments have passed, the puppet-creature breaks off from his routine, whips out an enormous sandwich from his satchel, and shimmies forward. Somewhat taken aback, you must act quickly or risk spoiling your tea.
Do you have a distracting periodical?

29/02/11: Oh! The 2nd edition of 'A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding' has now arrived piping-hot from the bakery, and rather lovely it looks too!
We've always been interested in how new editions of novels almost always have a new cover, whereas CD/LPs rarely do, so this is in someways our rationale behind the trickery. It might not make optimum business sense for us to change production in this way, but if you can't derive a little enjoyment from your idiosyncratic working methods, then what's a mischievious temperament for, by Jove?
It's available from the online giftshop NOW and almost certainly from GhostBox & Boomkat within a week or two :)
09/02/11: Oh! Against all expectations the first edition of 'A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding' is now very much sold out on CD! A sincere thankee and doffed hats a-plenty to all those who kindly bought a copy!
For those cursing the maresnest chicanery that caused them to miss out on this delightful item, take comfort in the possibility that there will indeed probably be a Second edition.
In the spirit of 'absence~normality' that we are stuck upon, it will have a different cover.

If you are also trapped in Oxford, manifest yourself to the Art Modern Gallery (from about 7ish), cough-up £3 (literally) and you can WITNESS:
TOP Resonance FM Stalwart the Time Attendant coaxing spooky drones from a variety of musical devices, while a murky 8bit landscape meanders along in the background!
There will be a short recovery period.
THEN! Hold on to something/somebody as you enter the intense-swirly B/W dreamscape of Winter Sun Wavelengths, a Ghost Box film by Julian House with Soundtrack by Belbury Poly and the Focus Group!
There will be a short recovery period.
For those still unconscious, the Moon Wiring Club will then totally STEP UP (sitting down) to perform their almost-professional 31min live set, to the accompaniment of some rather peculiar, long-forgotten video clips spliced together via arcane methods. Expect sluggish fizz-pop-hip-hop-rhythms, sinister occurrences, gloopy interludes and references to tea.
There will be no recovery. Period.

26/10/10: We are delighted to announce that there will almost certainly be a new Moon Wiring Club album released in November, 1587.
It is entitled 'A Spare Tabby at the Cat's Wedding'. We cannot say at the moment what exact form it will take, as the details are reet cloudy.
But a compacted disc has been sighted, reflecting under the Autumn sunlight, while other shapes are, as we speak, whispering across the moorland under the stone-grey sky.
Keep ears & eyes open for further developments if the fancy takes you.

Afterwards residents of the Clinkskell area may be able to tune into the latest installment of Barty's Party.

29/12/09: A delightful review of 'Striped Paint for the Last Post' extracted from the January edition of the Wire periodical:
13/12/09: In the spirit of a cartoon feature before the main film, the Moon Wiring Club did indeed support Broadcast, and what a delightful evening it turned out to be. Here are some mildly doctored low-quality video pictures:
30/11/09: Shhh! Don't tell anyone, but MWC might well be supporting BROADCAST for a potentially adequate one-off performance in Manchester next Tuesday (8th December).
It's at somewhere called the Deaf Institute. There should be a visual accompaniment of shoddy tv-clips from yesteryear.
23/11/09: Have a Lovely Day, the new Moon Wiring Club CD is here!
Additionally, the kindly and not-at-all sinister vicar of Belbury, has provided a delightful and most unexpected sermon upon the delights of 'Striped Paint for the Last Post'.

If nothing else, the additional performers of the evening; 'Timmy' Attendo, Dr. David 'Dolly Doll' Davidson, and the highly esteemed headlining 'Seal-land' should provide suitable recompense for any expenditure the evening may entail.
21/07/68: For those planning a seasonal holiday to Clinkskell, please be aware that 'The Lost Railway of the North' has been considered the wisest choice for travel. Do not attempt to journey by car. Country bus services may be subject to change in the near future.
29/05/09: If you are at a loose end this weekend, you could do a lot worse than visiting the electronic folk at Bleep43, who have very kindly asked the Moon Wiring Club to provide an hour long podcast.
You can expect to hear all manner of musical oddments, including library music, television themes and half-remembered soundbites and voices from vintage television. Much of it very badly-recorded, and all the better for it.
You can listen/download it here:
www.bleep43recordings.com/mixes/Show138.mp3
We recommend downloading it, transferring to a C60 cassette (BASF Chrome, if you have them handy) then using as an ideal accompaniment to an extended breakfast or evening meal.
