Music of a grim, Cold War Britain (2010-2025).

Aside from the odd project, Concretism is now mothballed. I'm doing other things elsewhere.

You can still buy my old stuff on Bandcamp:

It will be hard for Greenwald, Mearsheimer & Chomsky to see the USA, the power they oppose, act like Russia, the power they appease.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.

OTD in 1939 USSR staged the Mainila incident. A false flag to justify invading Finland as per our alliance with Nazis. We claimed Finn's attacked us just as a few hundred thousand of our soldiers were massed on their former border.

Imagine such brutality being tolerated & excused today.

I was staying at my friend's house at the weekend and we watched this clip after I'd mentioned it. Her 10-year-old son immediately said 'is that AI'?

I don't know if that's good or bad.

Is your indie label releasing too many albums too often that sound too much alike? 🤔

What horror movie, besides Bambi, really messed you up as a child?
