Sleaford Mods tonight in Newcastle. Much better than last time I saw them, and also the first time I've had someone whinge at me for being too tall. I said maybe stand in the space next to me instead of behind me. She didn't, then someone taller than me stood in front of her. I admit I laughed

If anyone's in Newcastle (UK), I'm playing my first gig in many years at Little Buildings on 7th Sept. Expect jungle & rave influenced breakbeat mayhem with a dash of vaporwave & breakcore.

Finally made it along to Lubber Fiend last night for the ambient drones of Zoviet France and the weird industrial folk of Cantenac Dagar. Never heard of CD before. Was a bit hit or miss for me, but was an interesting performance

Got a new toy to add a touch of chaos to the live set!

Madrona Labs' #Sumu is the only softsynth I've ever used that lets you blow virtual smoke rings of sound. This thing is great!

Damn, I thought I could upload a gif direct from my desktop here... Ah well, you'll just have to imagine them moving!

Saw the Notthern Lights for the first time in my life last night! An incredible experience!

One spouts nonsense every time he opens his mouth, the other is a proper muppet. But which is which?!

It's taken ages to perfect, but my MIDI control devices and scripts now work together nicely to do everything I want in #ableton. And they fit in one bag! #launchpad #midicontroller #MIDIFighterTwister #streamdeckplus #phantasmalforce #opencontrol #electronicmusic

Cool and simple little #streamdeck trick to liven up your #ableton control profile - make animated GIFs of your plugins for the buttons.

I've not seen this mentioned yet in any discussions about the #ableton12 beta, but you can now rearrange macros in racks without having to clear them all out first - note the new "Edit Macro Map" option when you right click your configured plugin! #ableton #studio #audio #plugins #musicproduction

Belated Christmas gift to myself this year - a Stream Deck+. I've got no intentions of ever being a "streamer", but got it for #ableton workflow. And because the little LED screen buttons are just so frickin' cool

Can't be arsed to put much thought into any proper "top ten" lists, but thought I'd try to remember some of my fave, mainly #horror themed, films of the year

(I've still not seen Godzilla or Huesera: the Bone Woman yet, though.)

Curiosity got the better of me and I’ve finally downloaded Ableton Note

Second elf now in position 😁

It’s 11:30pm, I’m 47 years old, and I'm sellotaping an elf to the chimney breast

Only parents can understand the absolute stress of having to think of new and entertaining situations for these little shits to act out every day in December 🤣.

I've just discovered that #Ableton has a pen tablet mode right after finding a fix for legacy Bamboo tablet drivers on Mac OS. As Agent Cooper says, “Gentlemen, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention.”
