Such a great, mellow, eerie, mystical, cosmic music stream from @SamanthaJaneSmith@lgbtqia.space over on @strim tonight.

A few of the stars are amazingly bright tonight ... or are they satellites???

Decided to finally give this digital collage reworked from stock photos (Original photo by Gerado Infante https://www.pexels.com/@gerardo-infante-230434) a proper home for a new Replay in Neon release. This one is inspired by specific sci-fi films, books, and an imaginary 1980s TV series.

Imagining all sorts of Ballard High Rise shenanigans going on as I pass the NLA Tower in Croydon.

Last night I was thinking about a song I released last year (and I&#39;d struggled to get the vocal tune right). I started singing it last night without any backing, and I really liked how it felt. But it was different to the original vocal tune. I ended up recording it and re-jigging the original verse and it&#39;s sounding much better that way. And I&#39;m not trying to bury the vocals in a wash of effects. I&#39;m finding that this is a better way for me to work if I want a vo...

DVD choices for tonight - I regularly re-watch the Kitaro ones (It&#39;s true, ghosts don&#39;t go to school.. and that&#39;s how it should be!), but not watched Instant Swamp yet. Exactly the sort of thing I need to watch right now though.

It&#39;s Flange Camp Friday. Please buy some to support your pipes.

Instead of Bandcamp how about Bangcamp, where we upload our fringes. Currently streaming... a bit gingery honey blonde horseshoe bangs that have decided they want to be almost wavy curtain bangs instead.

Spent ages growing my hair, but it&#39;s too fine and looks like stringy tendrils even in the softest of breezes. Seen too many photos of myself recently where I look like a mess. Going to the hairdressers this week - maybe I should just get a shorter cut. But I worry that will make me look more masculine. I don&#39;t want that.

One of the music projects I started ages ago is focused on electronic folklore songs - the 1st one of those is Under the grainstone (but tied in too is Beacon Lights &amp; What destiny has planned). Been trying to tie it in with my local area, but even though Sussex is amazing for local folklore, the commuter belt of Surrey isn&#39;t. But I do have some general folklore tales like Jenny Greenteeth, and birds turning into men I&#39;ve put my own take on. Hopefully they will suit Ellen...

This video premiered on Indie Beat TV earlier. Replay in Neon - Theme From The Midnight Detective Club https://spectra.video/w/k8iccRagGbCZ93VN4eHrdP I originally wrote it back in 2015, but never found a home for it. It was also the inspiration for the synthpop project of the same name. #fedimusic #musicvideo

Another great #bonkwave release party tonight - this time focusing on the challenge of creating tracks using a handful of samples at their core. Amazed by the variety of music created with them. Such a fun chatroom too, as ever. Lovely bonkwave bunch of people. You can listen to the release here (Autumn Waves, part 3), along with all the other Bonkwave releases https://music.bonkwave.org/

Big thanks to @etherdiver for this great review of my Maybe There&#39;s a Goose in the Machine release. &quot;...clever things going on here in terms of the sound design and sample mangling. And if you don’t give a f*** about that? Well, it’s still some extremely engaging and weird electronic music with a unique sound.&quot; :) Over on their OPM page: https://www.etherdiver.com/2026/02/27/opm-the-freaks-are-alright/ #fedimusic #musicreview

Maybe There&#39;s a Goose in the Machine (Danger Lift Machine project) This EP release is a new direction for me. An experiment with field recording and samples, with most tracks built from a single sample. It&#39;s experimental, industrial in places, melodic in others. A moment on campus; a goose playing a saxophone on a train (maybe); 3 visits to the local brewery; birds; voices; more journeys. Also decided to release it under creative commons license and plan to do the same with...

When I first started drinking beer I used to like the mixed pints in the same glass - half and half. Brown mixed or brown mild was the thing for me. The bar manager at my local brewery tap room suggested one to me tonight, so I&#39;m having a Saraman. Half Talisman half Saracen. Mmmmm. Love it.

Watching The Good the bad and the ugly, and there are bits I could imagine are a Studio Ghibli English overdub.
