My latest track (16/12/25)

An #ambient piece - nostalgic and sad. Synths samples and some granular processing.

"Slack Water"

I wrote this in September 2024, approx. 2 years after I took the photo. Sadness and nostalgia is probably a good summary of my feelings when I put this together.

I wrote this one in 2014, and remixed it for my "Proximity" album in 2021. It's a #BerlinSchool piece of sequencing, featuring some oriental sounds. Working title "Me old China"

NO streaming service will ever meaningfully support independent artists under capitalism; direct payment to artists you appreciate is the best/only meaningful way to support independent music (or art of any kind!).

Well put.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

Here is my first full-length album release - "Occultation", from 2014. Some ProgRock, House, cinematic, ambient, electro, and TranceFusion although the definitions don't really help. The style was moving towards something, albeit quite slowly.

Here is a piece of hybrid Berlin School chillout that I wrote in 2010, remixed in 2012 and 2015. It was released on my 2017 album "Indefinite Articles". '80s synth sounds feature heavily.

This is "Field of Dreams"

This took about 10 hours to record in April 2010. The March 2012 remix/edit/master took about 14 hours. Both the original recording and the remix were difficult. In April 2010, I felt that ideas were

Column for Eurosport, in French, about the FA's obsession with making the Cup "fresher" and "more modern" - and commissioning a new "anthem" from...Universal Music.

Fedora Linux people seem to have removed the Tenacity audio editor from the software manager. Bit annoying as its slightly better than Audacity.
