Early preview of a downbeat and mournful, reflective, Sunday morning in the sun kind of instrumental arrangement of Summer-Time (by George Gershwin).
For the lovely girl who served me breakfast and got off work 2 hours early due to how quiet it was (really? quiet? moi?)
Using S.W.A.M. instruments by http://AudioModeling.com played with a ROLI Rise-49 Seaboard and good old Behringer UMX-490 standard MIDI keyboard.
(...with foot-pedals for breathiness / formant and seaboard faders controlling growl / flutter / 'harmonic structure')
For now it's just a quick chords reference for me to learn to perform correctly

Ambient Electronica based in Cardiff with visuals - all my own work, that's right - I'm an art thief (: Poser3D has long come free with skeleton 3D Models and a material that is meant to be stained glass windows, someone else's work and all I did was drag the one onto the other, simples :)

Began making ambient noises before learning to speak - mind you, up until that point everything HAD been satisfactory. Black and Decker, the radiators humming and singing maybe? Oh yes, and a loon or two.

Blasting Music (space-invaders themed jam) came from Euro-Techno mate jam on 3rd floor, we each heard whoops, bleeps, sirens, asked "Is that you?" - later friends came back from a techno night, pointed out ash & smoke two doors down with fire/ambulance crews attending. Everyone was OK (phew) and thus from some weird sort of crucible it was born... Lovingly rescued & restored from C-90 tape (with mid 90s tech/software) it was well-received by more hard-core acid-techno fans, as well as 'the touched'

Blasted Mutants (blasting music reblasted 2025/6) will be what then bandmate wanted all along. "Scurried" is but a whisper of a flavour of what's in store.

Forthcoming singles from Through the Wormhole and Impeachy include "Preponderous" and "Going Critical" (versions of which can be found on youtube and reverbnation) - videos coming too, to a mid-2025 near you - watch space!

I'm Kif (in artworks) but the band name is Doktor Kif in honour of a 'right person' for the job... getting it

A dietician helped form weight-loss/deficiency treatment of key vitamins & minerals (did thesis on villi getting out of sync leading to non-absorption):

Eat v slowly, 30m, savour the flavour, 3-5 days
Clear out eg clothes/boxes, bag everything to clean later with mould treatment (softener draw)
Flush radiator surfaces (put soapy water down them with bag/blanket below to catch water/dust)
EG Shark vacuum/Air Purifier (in extreme cases)
Rescue (1st week)
Pro-Biotics
EnsurePlus (take 'as needed' I guess 1/day?)

My regimen (just an example, taking some on alternate days):

This first one is important - apparently the body will not be able to do anything with some of these without others hence my previous regimen taking the Floradix Vitamin B complex massively missed the mark and I still struggled a lot.

"Vitamin B Complex Capsules B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 B9, B12 UK Clean Supplements" from e-Bay supplier "uknutrilifesupplements" aka "Healthy Life supplements LTD" of County Tyrone, Ireland.

IRON (lifesaver! Ferrate something? Have got it written down at home)
Selenium with Vitamins A, C & E
Chewable Calcium with Vit D + K
Equazen Omega cpsules (EPAs / long-chain fatty acids)
Magnesium
Co-Enzyme Q10
Zinc
Rude Health Coconut Milk with Calcium and Vitamin D2 (lifesaver)

Tried BuckThorn juice for a while but was told even half a bottle is too high a dose and it did feel like it was pushing my metabolism. Two weeks on zinc etc and vits A-E and avoiding wheat while having pro-biotics and omega 3+6 long-chain fatty acid high EPA capsules? Peachy, just put on most of a kg somewhere this week, weight-loss stabilised and hopefully reversed. Will be nice to see if I should have a belly, or be 'svelt' when finally consult the right specialists (up to 6 month wait sometimes, but optimistic, stopped my weight loss and at least can 'pinch an inch' like the ads used to say... happy days)

Live well, Love Well, SLEEP well
But above all, EAT well and BE well
