    Firecast 001: Pete Lawrence visits the Community Farm in Somerset

    The original first Campfire podcast featuring an interview with founders of the Community Farm in Somerset. In July 2017 I visited the community farm just outside Chew Magna south of Bristol  and spoke to Ped Asgarian and Richard Garnett   I kicked off by asking Richard about food which he tellingly described as “a perfect storm of fashion and politics”   Food production is now so geared towards making profits for shareholders and corporations that it has lost site of its primary purpose – nourishment, wellbeing and feeding our world at its most basic level. We discussed how fashion and politics are shaping what we consume and how important the choices we make are in keeping us connected us with the land and our communities

    Firecast 015: Pete Lawrence presents Deep and Crisp and Even

    In December 2000, The Big Chill hosted one of the most memorable concerts I have had the pleasure to be involved with. Tom Middleton, our resident DJ through the years and now esteemed club and yoga session DJ, composer and sleep therapist, fulfilled an ambition. He got to score and perform two of the tracks from the seminal album 76:14 by Global Communication, his project at the time with Mark Pritchard. Tom invited me to play the DJ warm-up set for him, which I really enjoyed doing, along with Muffled Visions images on the night. The resulting mix 'Deep and Crisp and Even' has remained popular since its inception and already received several thousand downloads from a variety of sites. It's one of my most loved mixes and seems to suit a variety of occasions.To mark the anniversary two decades on, I have revisited the Deep and Crisp and Even mix I created for that iconic night and put visuals to it, something I have always wanted to do. Enforced lockdown here on Paros has given me a few days spare time to essentially create a film of slides around the mix (original photos by myself as well as found footage on the web). It clocks in at 62 minutes, a sound and vision scape through choral, classical, electronica, piano music and more. The full mix is available on Campfire's Vimeo channel after its premiere at the World Harmony event over Winter Solstice 2020.In this promo Firecast, I talk about the emotional resonance that the mix holds for me and offer a few thoughts on each track. I hope you enjoy it.
