Cephid

Been doing a lot of work on the harp recently ahead of my show in Somerset on Friday!

Can't wait for this, it's going to be a brilliant weekend!

Broadcasting House security is not to be trifled with.

Here's my own simple SFZ and Decent Sampler editor: all in the browser!

I love stuff like this, browsers are so much more capable than people realise!

New show! I'll be supporting Richard Anthony Bean in Wedmore in Somerset on 6th March. It'll be a great evening of electronic music, hope to see you there!

I'm excited to announce at I'm now taking on clients for mastering #IfYouAintRedliningYouAintHeadlining

I also recently released a small tribute to the music of Vangelis. It's exclusive to my Bandcamp and all proceeds are going to the Trussell Trust so please do check it out!

Hello, flurry of new followers! I make progressive electronic music and play live with a laser harp. You may also remember me from playing keys with such acts as @thatjoepayne.bsky.social, Godsticks, Crimson Sky and Ghost Community.

Thank you! One of my new years resolutions is to use this more

I believe you can create Feeds that you can share with other users, that's probably the easiest way to do it?

Happy birthday to every horse!

Sit down and listen or I'll subject you to the whole of The Well-Tuned Piano

Vale 2025! It's been a year...

I suspect a little bit of fridge archaeology may stir up some more brie!

These ill-informed comparisons have been made for decades. I dread to think the economic damage that has been done because politicians consistently go for easy soundbites like "we've maxed out the country's credit card" or "there's no magic money tree" instead of having real, adult conversations.

70 cocktail sausages in a bowl

It's got to that stage of Christmas where the only thing in the fridge is 70 cocktail sausages. I will surely not regret eating 70 cocktail sausages for lunch.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot today.

Evil, greed and selfishness are the lazy options. They require nothing more than base human appetites.

Goodness, communality and civility require far more effort and generosity of spirit. There’s just more work involved.

That's the one synth I really regret selling! The Usual Suspects do such great work, I can't wait to play with this one. Given that I lost a couple of days playing with their Nord Lead, I may be gone some time...
