I’m still alive. I know, haven’t posted a thing in Nostr for ages and wanted to share some of the musical stuff I’ve been playing with on the iPad recently.

I’ve not been on here for ages, which I’ll sort out soon lol. Merry Christmas. Hope you all have a great one and thanks for a great 2025. Thanks for the Sats, support and everything.

Playing around in AUM this evening and came up with this track or sketch as I prefer to call these little performances.

Got out on my feet this morning, to film two very interesting locations for my YouTube channel, which is a separate project to Modulations and RP, the newsletters that to see from profile here on Substack. The first was to find the confluence of two rivers, the Thames and the Kennet and Avon, a location just outside Reading. The walk took new through an area that was very gritty, edgy, rundown which is often the case where industry once stood tall, now long gone, echoes of the past. The second was a totally different place, a beautiful church in the heart of Hampshire, that I’ve known for years but have never been inside; until today, it was one of the most fascinating I’d seen. Now, it’s just a case of editing footage from three different sessions.

GM folks. Discovered a lovely patch on my synth last night. Audio to be shared soon, I recorded it but need to edit it.

GM. How are we all?

GM folks. Been away for a bit. Had enough of feeds lol

GM! Haven’t got that many new photographs to share with you at the moment, so I’ll dig into the archives for a few days until I’ve gathered some more. Harvested new photos as I like to say! This one was captured in the Surrey hills and I fancied trying something different using the zoom burst technique. I mounted my Sony on a tripod, composed the shot and then quickly turned the focus ring whilst the shutter was open.

Just for the record. If sites such as Bluesky, Spotify etc prompt me to upload my license or do face scanning ,they can fuck off. I will not use them full stop. They track us enough as it is.

If only I knew how maths defines everything around us when I was at school, I’d have taken it more seriously. School was a big let down tbh. Never did they mention the golden ratio, the Mandelbrot or how music is maths. Instead we had to work out, if I had ten quid, bought a sack of potatoes…how much change. FFS.

Playing with loopy pro 2 on the lounge carpet. Linked my Torso T1 to the iPad in order to drive melodies and jammed. Turned out pretty decent, I think.

There be a mighty sunflower down at our daughter’s allotment. It’s a beauty!

I put this together last night on the iPad, kind of a melodic drone with the potential that I can build upon this to create something bigger. Sometimes though, it’s worth leaving music as it is. #music #synth #drone #experimental

Testing out longer video uploads. This one was from our trip to Slovenia not that long ago. We had parked up at the top of the hills and walked down along the forested path to the River Sǒca in the valley below. We had to cross this bridge and it’s one of those wobbly jobs. I’m not great with heights and especially not bridges like this one! It was well worth it though because the views were fantastic and had a great look at the river, that we kayaked the following day.
