It's been a blast performing live again, and being able to explore an idea through sound alongside another artist. Here is a little shot of the 'setup' I used and the performance in action.
He's up to stuff again.. skull in jar? Check. Game Boy camera? Check! Projecting previous project onto current project? Check.
Played Band-Aids and Bullet Holes by @diceexploder.com last night with workmates. Very silly, a showdown in Bristol's College Green surrounded by goons dressed as students on graduation day, the bad guy won, many terrible accents performed.
I think the Ad Mech Skataros is one of my favourite 40k models. It's so genuinely funny, but! The kit comes with a spare gun, so I made another one, then had to build a massive hero rock for them.
Today we said goodbye to Aki, our friend and companion for 17 years. A true legend in our hearts and to everyone who met him. RIP big man.
Cleansing timeline with the cool thing that in summer, you can commute in a ferry in Bristol.
Here is a little making of. Yes that's a Game Boy camera. I used a GB Interceptor to screenshot the screen on my laptop.
Oh it is week 8, enjoy some lofi post rock beats to feel sad to. alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/i-gues...
Week 7 is here. Enjoy. "You Will Dissolve" alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/you-wi... Honestly, one of my favourites so far. I wanted to write something that sits in the feeling of being washed away. Because we feel like that sometimes.
This week's track is here and is a weird shoegaze instrumental love song. alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/they-g...
This week's track is here: alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/callin... New fav art style: fake Japan only playstation 1 game manual page.
Tomorrow is weekly beats time, but until then enjoy this picture of me enjoying a big pickle before I flew back to the UK from Orlando.
What is this? A fourth week in the beat mines? Enjoy a diversion into some HEALTH inspired chugging. alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/bitter... #weeklybeats
This week's track. An Infinite Weight of Water. alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/an-inf... Tough to write, but the art came out nice.
Well, I did a second week of sounds. alonemusic.bandcamp.com/track/island...
So it's a new year, and 2026 means it's a weekly beats year. It's not too late to join in. It's not too late to just say "I wanna be a creative little beast this year." Regardless, here is something to start things off. Violent New Pressures alonemusic.bandcamp.com/album/violen...
Wondering if I can coax music out of these again. The NES with the midi cart is sounding a bit flakey...
Made my first 3D model and printed it! A fun little project for a snoozy Sunday.
Finished Blippo+ Total treat. More games should just be a fun universe of TV from another planet.
Blood Cotillion done! Another incredible one-shot that can be completed in one night and results in utter chaos. The players set fire to a whole dimension.
Earlier this year I ran the fantastic Night of the Hogmen, I loaded the table with Percy Pigs and fake pig noses. Now it's time for the ball with Blood Cotillion. Can't wait!
