Haven't yet started watching The Vampire Lestat, but 40 years ago, after looking for Interview for a couple of years I went into Cardiff one Saturday, and there they both were as Interview had a second edition pressed at the same time. Anyway, these are 36 years old. I keep them out of sunlight.

12 comic books spread on a table, they are installments of a graphic novel of The Vampire Lestat.

In these pics: a Novation BassStation Keys (v1), Waldorf Pulse, Akai S2000, Yamaha CS1x, Casio CZ1000, Novation DrumStation & a cheap Zoom rackmount FX. Yamaha Mixer. Wilson guitar. I'm running Cubase on a 486 & monitoring via a Samson amp & JBL speakers. I've still got the Pulse & the JBL speakers

Me in my 'studio' in 1998(?). There's a sticker on my PC that says "Protect me from what I want".

Photo of a person sitting on a small chair in front of an old PC. There are keyboard and rackmount synthesisers and a mixer on and under a desk.

I've got a new album. It has actual music on, with rhythms and melodies. I've been working away at this for the last 6 months, but also the last 30 years. Many, many thanks to @evelrecords.bsky.social for encouragement and support with this release. #computermusic #electronica

PARTICULAR SYSTEMS by Jules Rawlinson Pre-release out now.🍩☕ Limited ed. CD Only - 15 uts Digt.ed. St/Hd 96/24. evel.bandcamp.com/album/partic...

Made two tracks at polar ends of activity today. One is at about 40 bpm (mogadon dub), the other at about 4000bpm (extreme computer). Neither of them have any hint of dynamic range. I love them equally. At some point I'll revisit the source material of the extreme computer one to let the quiet out.

First heard Cobalt Blue when I borrowed it from the Music Library on George IV Bridge at some point mid-90s. Do have it on CD, but realised I also have it on MD in my office, paired with Dead Can Dance's Into The Labyrinth.

Michael Brook's 1992 4AD debut is a 2nd wave ambient/new age classic, finally remastered and bundled with the genius follow-up EP 'Live at the Aquarium' - unmissable FFO Jon Hassell, Harold Budd, Daniel Lanois, Eno, Sylvian boomkat.com/products/co

Hard to pick a favourite on this, so I'll tell you about the time I confronted a burglar listening to this. Was waiting for my turn in a phonebox. Heard a window smash in a basement flat. Investigated. A man straddling a window with a CRT tv. I shouted "Put that back" (?). He dropped tv and ran off.
