Quite a few new people coming over in the last few days. Welcome, new followers! (And thank you to @mattsouva.bsky.social for putting me on his list!)

I'm a guitarist working in different modes: weekly ambient improv and short compositions, live solo improvisation, and improv with CMB Cold Spot.

Did you at least get some free distortion pedals?

Kind of thinking @mixmastermorris.bsky.social might enjoy these frequencies from last week.

🚨 NEW!🚨

Free to stream, another three-hour exploration of the sounds of the year 2000, this time focussed on sampling, mashup and DJ culture as well as the US election. I feel like this is a particularly good one, so come have a listen!

The cover image for this mix, it's me in the year 2000 making a painting using a liquid eyeliner brush, taken from the upcoming* film made from my years in Southampton, 1998-2002, excerpts of which can be heard in this mix.

*not at all guaranteed to be publicly released, probably not finished for a good few years.

Lots going on in my lab recently! Building a number of handheld WiFi controllers, as well as a debut of a new piece using the akai midimix (and iPad).

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. Olive sounds like a very special cat.

In one interview I'd read, he said he'd ordered it on a whim--something to bring out for a theatrical moment onstage. "Ha ha, silly huge bass." Now it's become A Thing he has to bring out at every show, and he's sick of it.

So far ahead of everyone with this performance stance that looks like AI slop (but isn't).

Clop-clop percussion, whinnying samples as horn stabs.

That sounds correct to me. I saw it in a series over several nights at the now-defunct local film nonprofit in the early 2000s.

He should do what Chris Burden did with Through the Night Softly: buy commercial time on TV, and air it in 30-second increments.

This week's composition results from my setting up the bass a bit better: two tracks of it, with two tracks of guitar. There's a vibe, but my favorite bit is the harmonic change in the middle. streak.club/p/58043/col-...

“The Who” is a different quartet of young Englishmen.

Those young men calling themselves the “Beatles.” Admittedly easy to confuse the name with the Beagles.

Good to see those lads finally receiving some recognition.

I missed the unfortunate news of the passing of guinbri master Mustapha Baqbou, whose cassettes have long been on replay in my brain. Respect, good sir. moroccantapestash.blogspot.com/2025/09/good...
