Running from 29 August until 8 September, <em>The Congress for Curious People</em> is a meeting of over <a href="http://curiouscongress.wordpress.com/participants/">40 curious minds</a> taking place at venues all over London and the UK.

Produced in association with <a href="http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.co.uk/">Morbid Anatomy </a>and <a href="http://www.preservedproject.co.uk/">Preserved!</a>, the <em>Congress</em> will take the form of a series talks, tours and performances throughout the week, climaxing with a two-day symposium on spectacular cultures at London's Horse Hospital, where a spectacular exhibition will also be taking place.

Our next book, <em>Raven: The Turbulent World of Baron Corvo</em>, by Robert Scoble, will appear in a limited edition hardback in mid-August. A pre-ordering page will be on the site soon.

After several years in gestation<em> ...or a blind man's carven star, </em>a double CD of deep microtonal drift and gently curling sonic incense by Spectral is almost ready to see the light of day on our Further Recordings micro-label  in an  initialedition of 20 copies. . More info <a href="http://orspectral.wordpress.com/45-2/or-a-blind-mans-carven-star/">here</a>, and an ordering page will be on our site in a matter of days.

Early Autumn will see the long overdue (sorry about that!) publication of <em>Vulcanic Tryst</em> by B. Catling and Iain Sinclair, followed by our collection of <em>Epiphanies</em> columns from <em>The Wire</em> magazine.

We've got several more projects at various stages of completion, some of them wonderous in the extreme, so do check in here for more details. Please note that <em>England's Hidden Reverse</em> will be published in late Spring 2014 in standard and <em>very</em> special editions. Please don't email us asking for details - we'll make them available on this site when we're ready!
