Patient Whales Ate The Sea, by Patient Whales
5 track album
patientwhales.bandcamp.com
Snuck another new haunted folk song onto my growing Patient Whales album in time for Bandcamp Friday (up to 5 tracks now!). My goal is to keep growing this until the fall, so hop on now as more get added patientwhales.bandcamp.com #BandcampFriday

Had some fun using my new-to-me Pladask Baklengs granular pedal on my old Hohner Pianet T electric piano. Made for some inspiring ambient textures and loops. Will have to use this combo again (and practice playing more) youtu.be/_1NLEI-A8gg

I keep saying I'm using my name and not Bay Mud on this platform because I want to share more than just synth stuff, so here's a piece of art I made for a local show recently (ink and marker on paper, mounted to wood panel)

Ended up taking down yesterday's upload, as I realized I missed using the granular portion of the Baklengs pedal entirely, so here's a new version with more madness! Anyone else have any Pladask stuff (or ever seen this gas can amp before)? youtu.be/_1NLEI-A8gg

Oof. Just tried to mail something to the US and I can see why so many folks have stopped bothering. Even for a person-to-person free gift you have to take photos and use an app to make a customs declaration. I just wanted to give someone my old Deluge overlay, as I don't need it
