I remastered my 2019 album 'Transpose' to 24 bit audio and re-uploaded it this morning on Bandcamp. No bullshitting, I was astounded and blown away when I heard it on big speakers last night, like a new/different album.

It's free to download, enjoy! X

Today I've been doing some more soundtrack work for an animated film (which will be out next year) and titting around with my new deck of Eno/Schmidt Oblique Strategy cards for my own stuff, for that electronic free jazz album I've been threatening to make. Bye bye synthpop.

Some of my mini discs from back in the day. At the turn of the century mini discs were bigger than Jesus.

New album coming in 2 weeks (8th August), it's called 'Pleasure Tourist' and it'll be my 20th album release in about 20 years. It's the sexiest thing I've done to date. Here's the cover art below.

Anyone remember Facebook? It was a mad place where you handed over all your personal information, shared photos of what food you were eating, you even used to list who you were in a relationship with or married to. Proper mad times. I hear lots of people still use it.
