I make electronic music at https://legacysystems.bandcamp.com
Mainly Drone, Ambient, Soundscape and experimental

I also like tea, running, walking, cycling, photography and software dev.
I live in Warwickshire UK, but don't let that put you off
I note with some amusement that the last time I posted here was also a BandCamp Friday...

A month has passed. A lot has been going on at home, and very little of it music-related (sadly).

Nothing new to report (or sell), so go out and listen to some new music.

Be excellent to each other.

As someone who currently makes largely unstructured music, dropping my latest album in-between 2 Bandcamp Friday's really is the pinnacle of bad timing.

And then add in the fact that I am on the road travelling up to Northumberland tomorrow and that rules out further timely promotions 😬

Oh yes indeed...

Copy ordered, and also thanks to @abrinsky.bsky.social for alerting me to it 👏

Just bought a drum machine that I might actually stick with.

Roland TR-8

Early playing with it has been entertaining and fun

Just a very quick thank you to those who have already bought my new album. Half the tapes already sold !

Drones your thing?
Maybe horror-scapes, disturbing voices or unnerving sounds?

If this or a bundle of other weird stuff happening in-between your left and right speakers takes your fancy, then my new album, released today, might just tickle your fancy...

The postie has just delivered me a box of tapes.

My new album - Dronescapes vol 2: Ancient Dreams

I also decided to give my earlier digital-only album - Dronescapes vol 1: The Larsen Effect a physical presence too.

Just giving them a play-test now, but very excited about this.

Because the mice in the loft really do need to be told who is the boss in this building 😂
August 13, 2025 at 9:18 AM
and because I am stuck with that ear-worm, why not carry on with the Dire Straits theme, and 'possibly' one of the finest A-sides ever to appear on vinyl...
August 13, 2025 at 8:48 AM
My ear-worm this morning was "Once Upon a Time in the West", and then I discovered that it's Mark Knopflers birthday...

So happy birthday...

This morning I have been listening to the wonderful new release from @worriedaboutsatan.bsky.social

A splendid way to start the day 👍

An entertaining distraction indeed.

Welcome to Joel's Vinyl Adoption Agency.

As we're travelling Kameyama, I've put this Japanese pressing of No Parlez up for adoption. An 80s classic with added obi.

To adopt comment 'where's my hat?'

A random wheel thingy will choose a winner later. RePost is not required, but it is appreciated.

And now I am listening to this. The startlingly brilliant Outcrops, by @spaceshipmark.bsky.social

Morning all.

I thought I would start off the day with something a little different...
August 6, 2025 at 8:38 AM
It's Bandcamp Friday

I don't have anything new to release (it's in the pipeline)

I do have some CD's and Tapes left from previous releases.

So for today only use the code "dronescapes" to get a 35% discount on digital and physical stuff from my page.

Most of the random tunes that play in my head never make it out, but occasionally something sticks that needs to be released to the public.

Absolutely gorgeous presentation and packaging from @dustopianfreqs.bsky.social
Shrouded triple-cassette bundle and a bonus CD and lovely message.

The care and attention to detail shows a real love of the craft, and makes every release a wonderful occasion.

Some mornings I wake up with an earworm. Usually this dissipates over breakfast and the day can carry on as normal.
However this morning's earworm just would not go away...

So here it is, in all its splendour. Side 1, track 1...
July 24, 2025 at 9:17 AM
I logged off in May to go on holiday and unwind. Just realised its been 3 months since I last popped on here!

Have I missed anything?
...

Didn't think so.
