This newsletter compiles links to all the posts created and published on the Concrete Peninsula website within the last month, October 13-October 26, 2025.

Next, introspection on a massive film in my development that I recently watched, The Gleaners and I by Agnès Varda. It's an incredible film and I'd rec throwing it on as soon as possible if you've never seen it and need a perspective reset:

Lastly, the dreaded self-promotion. I released a new album of Heapings music over the past week, and it is in the world for sale and I'm telling everyone I know. It never feels natural or good, but the dichotomy is that I love sharing music I make. This is an all acoustic album, the yard recordings I've shared on the site audio ripped and boosted a bit. Explorations of repetition, each song is 1 riff. Maybe more than a little influenced by the aforementioned Lungfish...
