So I just got the news, though I was a bit late hearing it, that James Webb has done it again! It found us a lovely new exoplanet called LHS 475b, it's about 40 light years away and it's a rocky planet the same size as Earth. Can't wait for all the new things we will learn about it!
    On this track I used my Roland TR-909 plugin for the drums, and after that, every thing was pretty much free improvisation. Other than trying to stay in time with the 909 and trying to stay close to the key of G major, it was anything goes, just the simple joy of making sounds without worry about making anything too musically coherent. On this track I use a saz with some phaser and delay, and I use my trusty Yamaha Reface YC, for the bassline I use the Yamaha YC-45D, but I continuously manipulate the harmonics using the drawbars, the other organ you hear is the Vox Continental, I just joyfully mashed the keys and had a great time!

Webb Done Found An Exoplanet For Us

I have a great distaste for not making music.

Here you’ll find all of the songs I have written , my improvisations, as well as a good few weird experiments. I aim to keep changing my music, hopefully never getting stuck in a musical rut or staying in the same genre too long. When I started it was all one guitar stuff (no overdubs), and very bad sound production (i.e, no sound production!), but since then I’ve started adding more instruments such as drums bass and saz and I’m slowly but surely getting better at sound production. And last but not least, I am slowly but surely getting into singing. I welcome all feedback whether good or bad. Or indifferent. I also want to hear from those who are apathetic about my music! I recorded three albums:

Lifespan (2018):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/lifespan
The Telescope (2019):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/the-telescope
On these first two there is no sound production as such because I didn’t understand that stuff at the time, then I recorded this one:

 Argentavis Magnificens (2021):
soundcloud.com/user-429211267/sets/electric-juniper-saz
at which point I was finally starting to get my head around the sound production thing. I’m currently working on an album called Neurotypical Empire, Vol 1: 2244, the first song of which I have released:

All are welcome here, except of course bigots. If you are racist, homophobic or transphobic, I respectfully ask that you go away.
