Someone kindly filmed a bit of my set from the other night.

I also have a soundboard recording of the whole set which I might stick on Bandcamp if I deem it presentable...

My new album Hyacinths is available today. Stitched together over six months, the pieces traverse from saturated, lo-fi waves of looped synthesisers and noise to more sparse arrangements featuring field recordings and mangled public access televangelists. Have a peak if ya got some time.
This is really really good.

SPL, have you ever dived into KEVIN DRUMM? His latest work 'June' is a return to his 'Imperial Distortion' form.

Never, what is Gog? I just searched but I want to make sure I have the right artist.

I just finished some new music. Mostly software/manipulated sample-based but there's some Volca Bass and Circuit in there too.

This thread definitely needs a good resurrection! I'm afraid I haven't got anything new to show apart from this compilation I appeared on, track 21 ('At Castlerigg' by Fane) is mine. It was actually quite a fun challenge to make a track that lasted exactly 2 minutes!

https://linearobsessional.bandcamp.com/ ... rom-a-hill

I pretty much just used my banjo and a lot of manipulation to make it - I'd just got my Gonkulator so one of the time-stretched droney things is running through that...

By total coincidence the track after mine is inspired by somewhere a few miles down the coast from me!
