4 Years ago today we lost my good friend and mentor Phil Western. Phil inspired and taught me a great deal and remains one of my favourite musicians of all time. Phil made a lot of different kinds of music and for this one I kinda drew inspiration from his long runner old school techno  "get lost in the drift" type thing, notable inspire by his tune "The Sign" which is one of my all time favourites. Phil started doing yearly tributes to his lost friend Dwayne Goettel whom I never got to meet but he continued them for more than 20 years as I knew it meant a lot to him and I hope to do the same for his memory. Please do yourself and Phils daughter a favour by going to his bandcamp, clicking on any release and select "Buy Digital Discography" for 30$ Its a truly staggering amount of work for that price and remains some of my most treasured music of all time. I miss you buddy I think you would have got a kick out of this. This tune is all done with hardware analog synths as he would have appreciated. Turn this one up for Phil and get lost in it. He was the loudest monitor abuser I've ever encountered haha. Hope you like it buddy we love you... Also sorry if your names Bethany but that sample is too funny.

FREE TUNES

Four Years - Longwalkshortdock (Phil Western Tribute)

The Bubbles - Zemus (Demo)

I am the moon based analog weaver.
I am the complexity of simplicity.
I am the dark, late night echoes deep within the lunar caverns.
I am total not Longwalkshortdock's evil alter ego.... maybe.

Here's some music I made that I really like that doesn't seem to exactly fit in with the Longwalkshortdock style per-say.... I think it deserves its own name and will not carry with it the burdens of the insanity and overkill of the LWSD show and productions. Sometimes I just wanna jam on synths, I wanna stay up late, I wanna roll with this shit. Check it. I'm from space.
