Jack Soley's 3rd musical venture was that of a differing texture, The Alto Sanctuary was an ambient and experimental music project influenced by Nico Fors, Jean Michel Jarre, and some of the earliest works of David Bowie. The delivery of minimalistic beat samples along with the use of repetitive loops, and low frequency sounds give the listener a feeling of serenity, and an experience that allows themselves to be consciously aware of the music. 

Since 2011, Soley had created music but had been more into Electronic and Dance, The Alto Sanctuary marks his third musical venture that officially began when his debut album The Chilling Memories was released at the start of 2021. Most of his work falls under the Drone and Experimental sub-genres of Ambient music, his albums have been created from many numerous methods.

For the first time ever on Pomerak Ventures, this album is re-released and given a new life with new images, audio remastering, and a package that will attract the aficionados of ambience.

This product is available in the Pomerak Ventures Shop.

Charity Drive 2025 Update

An earlier post in the month, I asked if there were any charities you would think I should support for the upcoming Charity Drive where I would donate 100% of proceeds of Pomerak Ventures books and music sales to charity.

Bluntly, nobody replied to my call so I decided to choose the charity myself... It took a bit of thought but I didn't realise that the charity that called to me the most was one I actually benefitted from when I was growing up, that charity being the Open Blue Trust.

For those who are unaware, the Open Blue Trust utilises a blue double decker bus that travels around rural communities in Wiltshire that provide an outlet for young people, that can help provide social opportunities, and can give people a chance to be creative and learn vital skills that they otherwise wouldn't have access to, this trust also uses the bus to hold community gatherings by many people across North Wiltshire.

Before Pinehurst had a community centre which was completed in 2011, there weren't many spaces for young people to hang around and do things outside of school; due to the new construction of our school demolishing a basketball court and the former Pinehurst Peoples Centre; enter, the Open Blue bus: A double decker bus would be here for about 3-4 hours every Wednesday evening and would come back the following week. I believe this is a trust that would do good with any vital funds raised whether it's reaching more places, getting more technology and/or goods for the bus, or if it's even maintaining the bus, this is a charity which has given to me when I was around 12-13 years old when I wasn't in the best of states, so I'd like to give back.

The Open Blue Trust is a registered charity with the Charity Commission of England & Wales.

Jack Soley with Graham Rogers on BBC Radio Wiltshire (17th & 18th March 2025)

My first proper appearance in the media where I was involved with someone (rather than being documented in some tabloid) after my appearance on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? on the Sunday, come Monday afternoon when I almost finished my shift at my new workplace, I was on a phone call with Mr. Graham Rogers that was live throughout Wiltshire and Gloucestershire documenting my time on the programme where I won some cash, on a show sat opposite none other than Mr. Jeremy Clarkson.

Because it was live and I didn't quite grasp how bad stage fright can be until my second appearance, the first interview was over the phone while I was at work and the second interview was the following day, except I was chatting with Graham in the studio, he's a cool guy and had no idea he used to be on TVS, the more you know!

To those eagle-eyed readers who noticed that the catalog number for this vinyl (POM374K01) is lower than POMMYDAX records, the answer to that riddle is that this work was recorded first, although POMMYDAX vinyls were released first, they were recorded after this; this is the only known instance that the catalog numbers for the recording arm of Pomerak Ventures are irregular.

Charity Drive 2025

This November, I will be setting out to do something good for the community from my book and music sales; this is something I'm prepared to do to show that Pomerak Ventures is a happy to support good causes that help people who support my business!

Which is why for the entire month of November, I will be donating 100% of sales revenue to a charitable organisation! There are many good causes but I'd like to hand it over to my readers of this website and customers of my products to suggest a charity that I should donate this fund to.

The charity in question should be registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales and I'd like to have a little piece as to why you think I should donate the proceeds of Novembers' sales to that charity in particular. The charity will be decided in the final week of October.

Pomerak Ventures Shop Progress

A brief update on the upcoming Pomerak Ventures online shop: All of the physical books are available to buy, the payment option has now been set up, and I'm making a start on postage and shipping options! I've done Europe and all I need to finish are the other options for shipping my products to the rest of the world as I need to figure reasonable prices for the cost of postage and overall prices for products (hint: cheaper than elsewhere and without middlemen)

I anticipate with current momentum that the shop will be ready by Black Friday in time for the Christmas rush.
