Thank you for visiting my profile!
Any comments are appreciated.
If you want to share or repost my tracks, please do. 

I enjoy listening to music shared by others here, often through the FEED. The people I follow therefore partly influence what I listen to. Many thanks to those who share music I love discovering! Unfortunately, I can't continue following people who flood my FEED with a daily stream of music I don't want to hear.

On most recordings you hear me play and sing on my own, but I also work together with other people.

Silicone Kids was a band I played guitar in, in the early 90's.  The Silcone Kids profile holds a lot of old tracks and also some tracks that were recorded during a reunion rehearsal in 2021.

Bitmap is a band made from just one man. Luke Barwell is that man.

Releasing a brand new track every month since January 2020 and aiming to continue until, at least the end of 2022. 

Luke is formerly a member of John Peel favourites Salako.

The first two Bitmap albums - Alpha Beta Gamma & Micro / Macro - and the EP - Black Arts in the Town Hall - are available to buy on CD via BandCamp. Follow the link for cut-price joy.

How does a modern petunia stand out from the hanging basket? Does he go down the Pavement "writing songs while sleep-walking" approach, sonic terror dentistry or a little bit of "analogue synths go bloop"? Bitmap try all approaches. If Bitmap could change their name to The Beta Band, thousands would hail this as the album that finally confirmed their potential.(8/10)

Fitting neatly alongside the classic harmony-drenched summer sound of The Thrills, Bitmap offers an alternative that is equally seasonal. Alpha Beta Gamma is a delight. Basically it's the album we've all been hoping the Beta Band would make. Smart electronic noodling underpins old-school melodic pop that veers from easy listening to weird psychedelic workouts. As with so much frothy pop, there's a darker twist to the lyrics. (Pop CD of the Week - *****)

Powerfully uncool electronic pop grooves for sarcastic introverts.

Debut album 'Post War Plans' out now on AnalogueTrash Records. 

Debris Discs is the solo venture of former Coves & Caves/My Side of the Mountain member James Eary. Nestled up in the hills of the High Peak in Derbyshire, James contrasts rural, understated songwriting with an arsenal of dusty synths, drum machines, effects pedals and a trusty old telecaster. The result is a kind of windswept, cinematic yet lo-fi soundscape with a resolutely pop sensibility. 

This is DIY music, homemade by someone probably too old to be sat at the end of the bed sharing songs on socials. This is spare-bedroom pop. Crafted while the kids are asleep and making use of any musical toys left lying around. Lyrics written on post-it notes stuck to the work laptop, melodies hummed on the school run and beats tapped-out while unloading the dishwasher. Humdrum origins that evolve into dreamy, enveloping washes of electronic, harmonic pop music.

Michael Donoghue is a Rotherham born, Jersey based independent electronic artist, composing left-field electronica which draws in influences from several genres, including ambient electro, downtempo, techno, and IDM. 
 
Michael started to compose in 2017, releasing several singles and EP's under the pseudonym of Cosmosapien. In the summer of 2020, Michael stepped out from the shadows of his alter ego, and started releasing music under his own name. Since then he's released several singles and EP's, three solo albums, and a collaboration LP with fellow unsigned artist Pulses. In the process Michael has found himself on the radar of several independent radio shows, blogs, reviewers, and playlist curators. 
 
Several of Michael's tracks have been supported by BBC Music Introducing in the Channel Islands, and have also featured on many independent radio shows including Trust The Doc Radio, Supernova, In The Moog, and many more. He's made the coveted Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Faves' on several occasions, and in January 2022 received his first national radio play with the ambient track 'Overview Effect' making a chill-out special on Jaguar's BBC Introducing Dance Show on Radio 1.

Michael has released his most recent projects through the independent label Irregular Patterns, including his latest LP 'Time Machine'.

Starting to make some music.  Exploring many sounds.  Love the work of Mother Mother, Wallows, Ricky Montgomery, Jack Stauber, and Rebecca Sugar. You can also find me on Spotify, iTunes, YouTube, and most other streaming platforms.
