Queue a brief chat between us when I quizzed him if the multitracks for Why by Carly Simon still existed. "Yes, I have the tape right here" he told me. Could I do a dub mix? Never heard from him again! I wound up recreating the Linn Drum pattern myself for this wrongtom.bandcamp.com/track/distan...

In the run-up to my single release next week, a few friends asked me a few questions related to the song and its themes. With a maximum of 1 minute per answer, see how I get on. #MusicianSky youtube.com/shorts/_XcNp...

New Release Day! 💥💥 blackhilltransmissions.bandcamp.com/album/transm... This is exactly the music I want to hear. Heavy. Repetitive. Blown-out dub bass. All echo & covered in fuzz. No clarity. When asked for reference points I came up with nothing 🙂 I'd appreciate some like/shares people

No, YOU’RE trying to get 15 different inversions of A7 into one song.

Busting out the ancient Eros 12-string to layer up some guitars. 40 quid off eBay in 2007. Neck like a floor joist. It’s not going well.

Let me know and if there's enough interest then I'll work on getting some done by then :). #Photography
