2nds & Samples SALE finally landing this weekend. 8 years of hoarded goodies, and calling these 2nds is rude. They’re 1.5s.
Premium organic cotton tees + sweats. Same hand-printed goodness. Roland vibes, Casio prices 🎹
In-store only. Glasgow first dibs.

More music for meditation

Free or give want you want

After the first landscape piece, it was interesting to hear the varied ways people interpreted it - made me realise this is music that reflects where I am when I hear it, and where I was when making it. Maybe similar for other listeners too.

Early ’91. After Shelley’s. A service station, a ghetto blaster blasting Playing With Knives, and three ravers caught mid-moment by Tony Davis. An era frozen in time. These were the nights that shaped us. Long live the rave. 🔊

Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000 at 85.

In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM

I know hardly anyone listens to what I do but if you did you might like something and nearly all of it is free. Apart from some of it and that’s cheap for what you get for your money.

I’ve gone quiet on socials for 36 hours but the anxiety creeps in 😨Pressure!!!

I hope everyone knows I’m super grateful for the support on TP. It’s a privilege to write music, and when it is received like this well it’s, next level stuff 🚀 ✨🙏🏽🧡

posting frequency is not related to my gratitude xxx
And thanks for the support too - incredible to see the album as the second bestselling album on Bandcamp - that means the number two release on the platform globally in any format. Very well deserved for Kayla, and so appreciative to everyone that spends their hard-earned money on what we do x
