Right. Morning arty-farty stuff done. Time to reroute some guttering and install a new water butt. More arty-farty stuff later! And I suppose I better rehearse for the gig as well…

Getting that emergency alert was quite disturbing, but it was reassuring when I got the follow up message explaining which bunker I’ve been assigned to
Ahead of tomorrow, allow me to share my current earworm. I wonder if you can get Urgh! A Music War on DVD….

I've been talking, on and off, about doing some videos on how I use Ableton. Here's the first - me prepping a recording project to be played live. Rough & ready and *definitely* not letting perfect be the enemy of good. 😉 Let me know what you think. youtu.be/lBR7kiTwW64

#enclosurethree from @gehegedrei.bsky.social on @madwaspradiomwr.bsky.social hit the spot tonight. Lovely chilled vaporwave easing in the late Sunday evening vibes and putting the pre-Monday demons to rest. Just what the terrapin ordered.
The Synthesis Co-Op Volume One Pre-orders Friday 14 August. Releases Friday 4 September. Give us a follow tscoop.bandcamp.com
new live dates added. if you're in the vicinity, it would be great to see you there. #electronicMusic #experimentalMusic #LiveMusic Also, always looking for support slots.
For the first time in a long time me & Dan are in the same room making noises together. We’re easing ourselves back in with a cover… #music #electronicmusic #cover Video: https://mastodonapp.uk/@gribbles/117054238529283723
@trevlad.bsky.social has flattered me once more with an inclusion on the latest VMT. I’d be interested to hear what folk make of this gribbles track - it’s…different.
Trevlad@trevlad.bsky.social · 2w agoA varied ambient journey mixing cosmic library mystery, long-form meditation, playful ease, and quiet spectral presence. If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Bugger all this sunshine. I’m doing some sledging today.
Just spent 41 minutes recording and narrating a session in Ableton on prepping a new song ready for live use at the launch gig to use as a source for a video diary. I had the sound muted. Every day is a learning experience. 🙃
We've had to say goodbye to Ralph, our venerable black Lab. I'd been thinking of doing a lyric video for Owd Roä & as its about a much loved old dog I thought it'd be nice to do a tribute to the dogs who've shared our lives Faäithful an’ True ❤️ #dogs #electronicmusic #poetry #video #Lincolnshire

right, ok, enough self-pity, I need to turn my shit pub around. it's in Stratford, it's got a (small) stage, there has to be someone who has something cool they want a space for queer-run, extremely diverse venue (we even let mumbling old white geezers in) what I'd call 'mostly accessible'
Couldn't sleep last night so I got up and painted an inky little sumi-e octopus 🐙 Well, like, I guess most octopuseses are already naturally inky So this guy is double inky
@trevlad.bsky.social giving a 1st airing of a track from Agatewards - out soon. Owd Roä hasn’t been released before & only played live a couple of times. “Regional, weathered ambient with old-road character and gentle English texture.” Is what Trev thinks. All Trevs playlists come recommended.
Trevlad@trevlad.bsky.social · 3w agoContemplative, atmospheric, and gently dynamic — blending organic warmth with subtle tension and quiet modern stillness. If you make music, or run a label, and fancy a place in the library, send your links or Bandcamp codes to trevlad@gmail.com. I read every one. Promise.
Only 12.5% of the accommodation in this hotel is occupied, which makes one ruminate.
Had a cracking meeting with the Yellowbelly chaps last week. Excited for getting Agatewards out there in a month, but also for what may lie beyond... [1/3]
Absolutely horrendous service and customer support from DPD today. Parcel wasn’t attempted to be delivered & then all my attempts to actually talk to someone about it through DPD support channels was an object lesson in enshittifacation. Grumpy.
Studio Gribbly back in live mode. Of course, as we're discussing a Launch Gig for Agatewards, I'm considering learning new songs. As a great man once said. "You do it to yourself, you do..."
It's Official! Agatewards will be released on Friday 4th September. #newrelease #electronicmusic #music #electronica #Lincolnshire #Dialect #Poetry
Today’s adventure: the Festival of Quilts! Yeah, baby!
