Distraction
Most of us struggle with distraction every day: the familiar feeling that our attention is not quite where it should be.We feel it at work and at home and it can be frustrating and uncomfortable.But what is distraction? In his lucid, timely book, Damon Young shows that distraction is more than too many stimuli, or too little attention.It is actually a matter of value - to be distracted is to be torn away from what is worthwhile in life. And for Young, what is most worthwhile is freedom: not simply rights or legal liberties, but the capacity to patiently, creatively craft one's own life.Exploring the lives of such luminaries as Henri Matisse, Karl Marx, Seneca and Henry James, Young exposes distraction in work, technology, art, politics and intimacy.With warmth and wit, he reveals what is most valuable, and what is best avoided, in the pursuit of a life of one's own.

The Point of Distraction
A memoir by the 2019 Wellcome Prize winner Will Eaves that looks at the creation of eight piano pieces. 'A wonderfully sensitive and probing meditation on the writing of words and music' Rolf Hind, composer and pianist What lies behind the creation of a piece of music?Does it spring fully formed from a composer’s mind, or take shape in the recesses of the brain, revealing itself in stages over time?Is the creative act deliberate or happenstance? An inspired vision or the result of practice? Will Eaves, author and musician, shares his experience of writing eight new piano pieces after many years away from the keyboard.Some of the music is found in old notebooks and teenage enthusiasms, some of it is caught on the wing – a response to the resurgence of the natural world during COVID lockdown.None of it is what he is meant to be doing. But then not all artistic interests are primary or professional interests.Sometimes it’s the second-string activities, the diversions, that bring work – and life – into focus. The Point of Distraction is a unique account of music-making that embraces Bach, film, jazz, literature, neuroscience and the mystery of will power in its search for meaning.At its heart is a love of skill, an openness to self-doubt, and a belief that we are all more than our declared aims.

A Modern Day Distraction
Fresh off the back of a tour as special guest to Liam Gallagher and John Squire, UK rock troubadour, Jake Bugg, returns with his sixth album 'A Modern Day Distraction', released 20th September 2024. Produced by Metrophonic at Metrophonic Studios in London, Jake returns to his roots on the rock-driven record that turns up the noise while shining a light on the injustice he's seen dealt to the family and friends he grew up with. Fiery and engaged, the record was born out of a frustration of societal inequality. Bugg found that a time had come when he just couldn't look away. 'People might say 'What do you know?' or 'Just stick to music'. I've got a bit of money, but we all know the people this affects. I was just writing it because it was the way I felt. It pisses me off - especially in a country like ours where we have the means and funds to take care of the people suffering the most, but we choose not to'.
