I (try to) make electronic music...when I can. Think synths and layered vocals and an ineptitude at making beats. Someone once called me Ireland's answer to Broadcast and - honestly? - I'll take that

Happy birthday to all my kids 🖤

The plans to keep releasing according along a Fibonacci timeline* have been scuppered because I have nothing new to release today. Dammit.

See also: Christmas "break".

One rewritten topic down... And just the two papers, an assignment, a research protocol, a HEA application, a meeting agenda, and some conference organisation work to go.

2 panel comic titled summer. The first panel is titled"what most people think academics do all summer" and shows a happy person with their arms up saying "yay no work". The second panel is titled "what most academics actually do" and had the person in the same pose saying "yay! Now I can FINALLY work!".

Finally was bothered to put that Medard and Nicholas demo onto streaming too. More experimental than the other bits, but fun to make the sea through a synth biggest streaming platform link: open.spotify.com/album/2iCCPB...

Obvs available on others, which I would encourage you to switch to ASAP

Proposing an alt-LinkedIn for people who have no intention of trying to prove they're amazing which rewards standard behaviour likes "fought the urge to reply sarcastically", "made a really great cup of tea" and "managed to remember to update the Tesco delivery before the change window closed".

Bust out laughing at this as I just spent an hour explaining Ireland/Northern Ireland/The Troubles whilst traumatising my Korean teacher with talk of bombs, bombscares and evacuations and trying to explain why English policemen wearing those *stupid* hats was so hilarious when I moved to Liverpool

Found an old song down the back of the sofa, made for a comp that wasn't released. Original files are lost to hard drive death, so here's a dodgy-vocals, truly unpolished version instead. Proceed with caution ☠️

Please, gig-goers. I am so sick of being forced to watch gigs through other peoples' phones, held above their heads. Please put them away and just watch with your own eyeballs: I promise you'll have more fun and you won't block the view of *everyone* behind you 😭
