My own personal record label id going badly... can't imagine why....
...perhaps, I shouldn't be on it..?!

Just imagine, for a moment...
...if you spent as much time on your final musical output as you did your artwork...

My new favourite word is 'puffling'... a baby puffin.

I will now also be using 'dogling', 'catling' cowling' and 'sheepling'

I like cheese. I can't explain why I like cheese but, I can't walk past a piece of cheese without trying to eat it..

...I approach my music production in a similar way to my liking of cheese.

The problem I have with putting music on vinyl is that I mix for digital output and any pops crackers and hisses, because I don't know how to mix and master for vinyl (theory? Sure... never tried to) might just sound like part of the composition.

Maybe that's not an issue at all

I haven't seen the #Epstein files, so...
...this leaves me in a position of relying on 3rd party 'media' outlets and/or other users to let me know what's in them.

So... You'll have to forgive me for not posting this shit all over my fucking feed like I know the fucking truth..!!!

You no longer remember where you went, what you looked at or what you said...
...because your phone does all that for you.

And people are worried about ID cards..?!

Really..? You chose that album for that..?!

I have to admit, the new vocal synthesiser in #Cubase 15 is pretty terrifying...
...who knew I could sing, eh?

Let's be frank here... the only thing the indie music scene needs to offer it a bit of a boost is another pandemic.

A #spider just fell in my #wine.
I did get it out safely and put it onto some kitchen paper... whereupon, it actually seemed to shake itself, flip me the finger and stagger off across the counter-top.

If you have it within your power to credit someone with something they did for you... not only are you preventing them getting more to do, you're generally just being a bit of a cunt..!!

Sell me your latest album as something I should listen to... whilst I still have a copy of Drunken Forest by Death Ambient on CD

You're original... right..?

Tip: If you don't describe your music to me, I won't even click the link... I probably don't know who the fuck you are....

In the most recent of my audio renderings that I refer to as 'music', I have been using quantum theory...

...or have I..?!

I've been revisiting some of my older stuff and... for the record...

I'm a very different 'musician' now than I was a few years ago...
...less enthusiastic for guttural anger noises and more just beaten down by the proliferation of humdrum, two dimensional, so called 'protest' music spamming the fuck out of my feed.

Thank you?

I don't believe people when they say they left Twitter on moral grounds... why..?

A lot of them are still on there and many are actually still active..! And really... engagement on here is utter shite..!!

Yes, I still have a sock puppet on there

I no longer get asked for favours because I'm redundant... in the light of alternatives.

I get it, that's how the internet works... you buy the smell of roses, piss on people, spray it and just come up again.

Seriously though, listening to their recent output..? They still fucking need somebody.

For a while now, I have been struggling to clean a 'dirty' vocal audio... until...
I decided to start removing the bits I didn't want over trying to extract the voice.

The simple solutions are often the best and yet, the most elusive to a human brain.

Yes, this is me, plugging me... I do this occasionally.

The 'Circles of Hell' album (2023) feels ancient now... this is the opening track... ad-lib upright bass, ad-lib synth and noise, some piano and a lot of recording noise with no gate.

I can still recall a time when people, resistant to the notion that they were just creating content, creating content moaned bitterly about people creating content...
...and now look..!

Sorry but... I fail to see how anyone aggregating the praise of their 'friends' is pro #IndependentMusic...

...they're pro what they can do for themselves..!
