Raw Electronics Without Compromise: Portion Control on 47 Years of Industrial Synthesis
South London Industrial Pioneers Portion Control Break Down Their 77-Track Retrospective Transmission 421: Interview with Portion Control Formed in South London in 1979 amidst the immediate debris of post-punk, Portion Control approached electronic instrumentation not as a proxy for traditional musicianship, but as a direct vector for raw, unvarnished sound manipulation. Operating outside conventional industry structures from their early base in Kennington, the group bypassed formal composition in favour of heavy hardware sequencing, aggressive tonal sculpting, and early sampling via systems like the Greengate DS:3. Their work from this era, driven by the harsh, rhythmic frameworks of the 1982 debut…

Another restored piece I made in 1989. Sadly the name has been forgotten on this one too. I think it may have been written in pencil on the piece of what I seem to recall was chamois cloth, and was a wordy socio-political commentary.
I'm working on restoring this piece I made around 1990. First I had misplaced the paper, then I found it. Now I've misplaced the original panel it was mounted to, but this is similar. The title is also with the misplaced panel. 🙄 Amazing it mostly survived my moving 13 times with it!
A quick video test for FORGE zine, 16 pages, roughly 5" x 4". Audio from a recent album of mine. (Just noticed I forget to use the image I posted before!) www.interrobang.org/transmission...

Back when I had my surreal photo illustrations printed EFX Art & Design (aka Mac Art & Design) magazine in 2002. I thought I was in another issue too, but not finding it. I had several pieces in their Metal Heart 2 book. I miss the old days of magazines like this.
It is sad that I can predict the weather better than the Apple Weather app. 🙄
A piece I made around 1990 with a lengthy title/statement. “The distant future shows the degradation and total collapse of the human civilization brought about by the industrial world of greed and hate pushed to the extremes by crass advertising.” 🤔 kinda rings a bell
Good piece on our food system, and berries specifically. youtu.be/nyG-np0S0ZQ?...

Spinning Les Baxter "Ports of Pleasure" from 1959. Each track is journey to a different exotic place around the world.
Do you have to have ghosts for your house to be haunted, or can it just be a mysterious amount of dust and cobwebs?
A building I have photographed quite a bit in the past partially collapsed yesterday. 😬 This is as close as I could get today, glad I brought a longer lens.
This made me think of the days when there were cool and interesting magazines out there.

A little still life I'm using to test some cameras.
On this day in 1963, Philips unveiled the Compact Cassette. Built to simplify reel-to-reel tape, it became the dominant music format of the '80s, opening up mixtapes, Walkmans, and listening on the go that shaped a generation of music lovers. Do you still collect cassettes?
Up next on #Cassunday is one of two tapes sent to me by @returntoroot.bsky.social I’ll be returning the favor later this week. I’ve been consumed and Dust Visions has been on heavy rotation in my tape deck…love the blue shell! J. Sincock - Dust Visions(2026) jsincock.bandcamp.com/album/dust-v...
Return to... whatever@returntoroot.bsky.social · 3w agoIt has definitely been at least 26 years since I made a tape copy of my music, and the first time recording it from my computer as the audio source. (tho I did use a Roland VS-880 EX digital workstation back in the day. still have it, but don't use it!)
Alice LOVES her little cardboard couch. Not sure how she doesn't get a stiff neck tho.
I've decided this is the finished version of this piece.

"Ya gotta lotta damned gall!" This is an Acorn Plum Gall attached to the acorn "cap" (or cupule if you want to get technical.) Kind of fascinating! Gee, what if humans were fascinated with the amazing world around them instead of assholes to each other? 😉
