“Little Lantern of the Garden” by Dr. Elliot Lach is a meditative, heart-softening song about a lone firefly who lights the garden each summer night. Its glow is small, silent, and miraculous—light without heat, flame, batteries, or wires. As the seasons shift and the nights grow cooler, the firefly’s glow slowly fades, reminding us of the quiet beauty of impermanence.
The song reflects on the firefly’s wordless language: tiny flashes that speak in a secret code only other fireflies understand. They make no sound, no hum or buzz—only a drifting constellation of pulses drifting through the dark. Even as scientists use technology to study this shining pattern, the firefly remains a symbol of life’s simplest and briefest wonders.
A gentle tribute to fading summer, quiet miracles, and the luminous things that pass softly through our lives.

It's that time of year again, when late night droning fills the sky, the cool but warm evening air of a summers night, broken by the sounds of thousands of tiny wings beating furiously in an attempt to be heard but desperate not to be caught.

Return of Flying Insect Season!!!

I’m mainly a painter, although I can play simple tunes on the Guitar, Ukulele Charango and Keyboards; hence I think of my musical compositions as ‘sound paintings.’ When I’m creating a new piece I try to picture the scene and the emotions in my mind. The descriptions and the uploaded images are there to assist the listener to visualise my musical creation.  My view of any kind of art be it painting, sculpture or music, is that it should leave an impression, whether it is good or bad is up to the individual viewer or listener. The viewer/listener either likes it or not. I always have music playing (sometimes I even dance to the music) while I’m painting, as it keeps me in the mood of that particular artistic piece.  My main musical influences are Jean Michel Jarre, Frank Zappa, Los Calchakis, Tchaikovsky and The Rolling Stones. I also create small sculptural pieces, write poetry and short stories plus occasionally photography. . My artistic influences are Van Gogh, the Fauvists such as Matisse, Derain and Vlaminck, French and Nordic Impressionists namely Monet, Cezanne, Munch, Osslund and Erichsen.  Nolde, Kalella, Klimpt, Hokusai, Hundertwasser and  Wu Guangzong have also had an influence on my work.

Lover of anything with a break and heavy dubs, subs and wubs.
Known for emotionally charged yet energetic sets, Tzusi’s selections explore deep DnB while mixing in classic throwbacks and playful fun, usually with a wobbly surprise here and there. While his production is still evolving, it tends to focus around Liquid Dnb with softer soundscapes and gently layering to build complex emotional environments within the tracks.
