I have been gathering my thoughts. I have a lot of nearly finished music. Gonna try and focus on finishing what I've got instead of going off on something new (I'm sure that will not last 😂).

I have been putting too much pressure on myself. It makes me productive for a while and then it becomes suffocating. I have slowed down the last couple of days and it has really helped me to be more calm. 🌼
Enjoyed a sunny gig at The Apothecary Tap in Banbury yesterday! To everybody that spoke to me afterwards, thank you for chatting, and for sticking around for my set. It was nice to do a gig that supported BARKS charity. 💜 Thanks to Rich for this photo! 📷
I forgot it was Bandcamp Friday this week and bought a bunch of music a few days ago. Whoops! 😆 Oh well, at least I bought it. Anyway, I'm gonna list what I bought. 😁
This year I've had a few firsts! First feature on Bandcamp's New & Notable and first ever plays on BBC Radio 6. First headline gig in Oxford. 🥹 I am quite hard on myself and have been awfully hard on myself this year (not sure why). I need to acknowledge stuff that has gone/is going well. 😁
New & Notable: The UK artist drapes layered vocal harmonies and art-rock instrumentation in wistful lo-fi synths to moody, mesmerizing results.

'Fungus' got played on BBC 6 Music last night. 😁 A first for me!
Electronic music is a genre that was started and shaped by women, so on International Women's Day, here are some Bandcamp recommendations for women making some of the best electronic music you can get today. 🧵

It's the best thing when someone says they have listened to your music for hours. 🥹

One of the most relaxed music video shoots I've done (for my own videos anyway). Thanks to everyone who helped! 💜
NHS 111 have been so helpful today. It was quick to get through and they said a GP would call within 2 hours. The GP called within 2 minutes, assessed my symptoms and booked me an appointment to see someone in person. 👍 D
Ended up taking a 3 hour nap today even after 2 coffees and a full night of sleep. I guess my body is very tired lol
I'm having the worst flare up of my RSI in ages, after a long stretch with very well managed symptoms. I don't know what to do with myself. 😅 There were so many things I was going to do on my days off but now I can't do them.
I'm looking for retro landline phones (they don't need to work, they're just for props) so let me know if you have any lying around that you don't use 😂 📞🎶🎶📹 it's for a music video idea I have 💜 #creative
Lots of people talking about CDs today and why they are the best format... (yeah they are 100%) Copies of my new CD are still available here: armaturesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/osprey ..and thank you to those of you who already bagged a copy, you are the best! #CDs #Albums #musicsky #synthsky
It was therapeutic this morning to get some of my ideas for visuals down on paper.
I've been waking up at 3am, bombarded by flashes of colour, images and sounds in my head. I love it when I'm feeling this inspired, but it's not a very practical time to experience the inspiration. 😂
My friend Rosie sent me some saxophone and I am feeling so inspired. She's so talented.
I have so much music to go through and finish. 😅 I am buzzed about it but I keep hopping from project to project and being very indecisive. My friend recorded some saxophone for a track of mine and I'm very excited. I felt I couldn't do the vocals until I had the saxophone.
