Made with my brother Merlin.
This is a versatile sauce, bursting with life, that makes everything taste better.
There are only 350 bottles available in the first batch so don't dawdle!
Advert by Wilm Danby. Soundtrack by me.
The saucery takes place in a two-stage process. First, we make koji by introducing a specialised fungus to rice (koji is ancient fermented food that forms the basis of miso and soy sauce). We then add the koji to a brine containing chipotle chillies, onions, and garlic, where it undergoes a lacto-fermentation (the process that creates ferments like sauerkraut and kimchee). The result is a versatile sauce with rich, umami flavours. We use it in and on everything from eggs, sandwiches, tacos, soups, pasta sauces, stocks, and as a base for a devastating chipotle mayonnaise.
Sheldrake & Sheldrake Fermented Hot Sauce arose when Merlin and Cosmo Sheldrake met Jonathan Hope, a koji wizard and director of @KulturedLondon, a company specialising in making miso from local ingredients. The sauce combines the Sheldrake brothers' trusted formula with Jonathan's koji.
We hope you enjoy!

Where will my feet begin To tread and when Will they give in To rest? And then …

Horizons come and go And eyes pretend But paths ascend And wind and wend
When will my feet expend Life force offend And recommend My ways amend?
I'll march for years on end And time befriend I do intend To find lands end

DONT are ver excited to finally release the music video for DID DON’T DO from their debut EP DO. DON’T has a long lasting curiosity in 18th century mechanical theatre set design. We experimented with some of these themes in this video. It features a slightly failed attempt at making mechanical clouds which only ever seemed intent on braking down in front of Cosmo’s face. Due to various mishaps during the filming (involving the very late hour in which it was filmed and some other concerns involving the supply of electricity) the film was put on pause for the best part of a year. DON’T recently aproached the wonderful film making duo Wilm Danby and William Wyndham to see if they would be interested in helping us finish the film. Which they recently DID. We decided to set the original film within a wider context with multiple version of us as the audience. We hope you like it as much as we DO.Dont - Dlora YelpsCosmo Sheldrake2021-10-29 | The new EP is out now. Listen here: https://smarturl.it/dont-do
Don't is a collaboration between Cosmo Sheldrake and Flora Wallace.
Lyrics: I’m born once more, Watered by the dewy dawns And ankle deep in coupled thought.
One day when the world was big and strange, We all went around in gloves, We watched as the weeks turned into months, And push had become a shove.
I'm born once more, Watered by the dewy dawns, And ankle deep in coupled thought.
One day when the night had come too soon, And hours were too few, We watched as the sky she slowly bruised, To pinky purple blues.
I'm born once more, Watered by the dewy dawns, And ankle deep in coupled thought.
I'm born once more, Watered by the dewy dawns, And ankle deep in coupled thought.

Don’t are delighted to announce the release of their third single. 'Echolocation' is a song about bats and their astonishing ability to use sound to perceive the world. This piece emerged from many evenings spent with a bat detector, which slows down the high-pitched sounds of bats, making them audible to the human ear. The song features recordings of common pipistrelle and horseshoe bats.
Artwork by Flora Wallace
Lyrics: How, how come echolocation, Why, why now, why us and you Oh me, oh my, Many ways, To be, to see Bounce, bounce sound, reverberation Shape, shape space, from atmosphere Oh me, oh my, Many ways, To be, to see

This is the first of the two. It is a sonic exploration of oceans.
bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000sbnl We listen to humpback whales singing, sperm whales clicking, weddell seals and bearded seals courting, coral reefs spluttering, bucktoothed parrot fish crunching, shrimp snapping, long horned sculpins honking, blue whales lamenting and haddock drumming. All of the music is composed entirely out of recordings of these animals and the sound worlds that they inhabit.

It is based on the fact that whale language is socially acquired. You can tell where some whales have been over the last year by the songs they sing.
Landshapes made a song and then gave it to the next person who interpreted it and then passed it on and on and on. I was the second last to receive it and this was the result!

Lyrics: Being fungi living ground work, mycelium, mycelium. Growing lichen stretching lifetimes, dwelling places, more than one. Becoming lichens of our own minds, co-creaturely, entangled life.
All sounds apart from voice and double bass are recordings of the fungus devouring the book. Recordings of the fungus were made by sound ecologist Michael Prime using electrodes which detect the bioelectric activity of the fungus and control a tunable oscillator. The fluctuations in pitch and rhythm are real-time sonic representations of the activity of the fungus as it digests the book.
