Oh I'm kind of disappointed, I was picturing a lonely chicken breast, dry on a tray... now you're getting all fancy.

Pulsatile Tinnitus - track 12 from The Boy In The Diving Bell (out last August).

Had a rough weekend? Let this soothe your mind. I joke. It is wall to wall musique concrete noise, mangled through an old Akai tape machine.

Sometimes this is what it sounds like in my head.

Apprentice Green, by flakebelly 15 track album

Hello Bluesky. Today is #Bandcampfriday. In honour of this particular Friday, here is an #album I made all on me own. It's name is Apprentice Green & it's full of #music. All kinds of music. It is also by a wondrous coincidence, available on #Bandcamp. flakebelly.bandcamp.com/album/appren...

I've wanted a hardware console for most of my adult life. I live on a Scottish island. The shipping alone would be a nightmare. I don't have the money. I don't have the space.
So I built one in software. Exactly the way I always wanted it.

That song was Great Buckets of You, on my Apprentice Green album.

One time many moons ago, I sat down with a guitar & recorded whatever came into my head. An entire song tumbled out: chords, words and all. One take, improvised. It's never worked again, not the other 3254 times I've tried. But at least we got one, complete.

'I Hate You' is track 11 on The Boy in the Diving Bell (out last August). Double-tracked acoustics and vocals, folky riff, nice melody, I tried to ruin it by blasting the psychedelic accordion piano in the mix. It's the kind of thing I do. song.link/TheBoyInTheD...

I use a lot of broken old gear from the 70's and 80's, by the time I'm done passing a signal through, it's practically all hiss and hum! Love it.

Well I am wearing a hat backwards and no socks, that's pretty weird right?

Weirdly listening to Debussy right now.

I like that! Hearing the room is something a lot of music is definitely lacking.

Anyone else enjoy the silence between notes as much as the notes themselves?

Toothful is track 10 on The Boy In The Diving Bell, out last August. Probably my favourite guitar part on the album. Major Elliott Smith inspirations throughout.
