Bartholomew Music

Bartholomew (or Chris to his friends) makes experimental electronic music with a cinematic tinge – you might file him alongside Hannah Peel, Tim Hecker or Ben Frost. Bartholomew’s live shows combine radical re-interpretations of his music with sonic exploration and improvisation – in one moment he might be sampling a frying pan into melody or looping the sounds of the magnetic waves surrounding him, before deftly integrating them into a live remix of one of his tracks. 2023 has been a big year so far with Moorbound being released on Wormhole World with radio play from BBC Introducing NE, Resonance FM and a raft of online stations. To launch the album, Bartholomew brought together some of Newcastle’s top musicians to play brand new arrangements of the record to a rapt audience at Little Buildings. Moorbound (Retread) an album of reinterpretations is currently an exclusive for readers of TQ, but will soon be hitting the digital shelves.
