Later this week I'm putting up my Live set recorded at CAFE OTO in 2022. It'll be live on Bandcamp as a FREE / Pay What You Want release.
Before I log off the socials again, here is a review from the latest @electronicsound.bsky.social Magazine. "The whole album is beautiful & showcases an artist who clearly puts a great deal of thought into his work... with thoughtful piano work, fuzzy electronics and cut-up ambient textures"

www.subvert.fm/audio-obscura Subvert officially launches today @subvert.fm --a music platform owned by its community. I have an exclusive 10 track album of laid-back-synth-pop-ambient tunes on this platform. Some strings, some field recordings, some nice melodic beats.
Toxic black rain. A defining image of 2026. (This image is from Iran but similar images from Russia as well). Been reading an article about the environmental consequences of modern warfare, quite a grim read for a sunday night.
A few months back when Subvert was still in Alpha mode I released an album on this platform... a sort of an imaginary soundtrack thing.. Have a listen www.subvert.fm/audio-obscur...

Lovely to see my Metropolis DVD / Soundtrack mentioned in the new @electronicsound.bsky.social Not many of this 100 run left so hurry if you wanted one! (this is a rare 1 hour edit of the 1927 Fritiz Lang silent film digitized from 9.5mm reels) and soundtracked by me. Also includes an essay

This coming #BandcampFriday I'm releasing my 2nd DVD. I've created a new soundtrack of the 1927 silent classic Metropolis. This version is a rare 1 hour edited version of the film recorded from original 9.5mm reel format. Includes an essay by James Fennell from 'Old Films & Stuff' #Metropolis
Came home to see a big box addressed to me! Oh wait its the new DVD of Metropolis, a supper rare 1 hour edit with a new soundtrack I made! I'll have some to sell in Lewisham this week when I perform this soundtrack on the 27th November. On sale after that on the next #BandcampFriday in December
Not really. Do you use a seperate audio interface on your laptop at home - these sort of things... or is the sound card the one built into the laptop and sound comes out the headphone jack on the laptop?
Three weeks tomorrow I'm in Lewisham at the Deptford Lounge performing a live soundtrack to the Fritz Lang classic Metropolis - a rare 1 hour edit of the silent black and white film
Ok, Just noticed, as have Lewisham library that this poster has the wrong date on it! See the new poster now with the correct date - Thursday 27th November!
