I read that interview with Flea where he mentions how a formative experience was sitting and listening to his step-father's jazz trio jam sessions at home. My kids will tell of lying face-down on the floor listening to their dad's drone/noise trio jam sessions at home.

This is now a Nu-Skool Breaks account.

I'm almost in awe of how bad SoundCloud has gotten since I first participated in the beta.

#CDFriday this beautiful package from @bhtransmissions.bsky.social Black Hill Transmissions - Transmission No. 3

Like most, music streaming somehow converted me into the type who listens to music only while doing other things. During COVID I invested in some hifi gear and resolved to force myself to return to active listening. Now I just want to sit on my couch and listen to music at the expense of all else.

I worked on music tonight.

I feel like I'm back in my PhD/post-doc years, completely drained of all creative energy by the time I finish work. Just work->family->chill-for-an-hour-or-two, every day, day in day out. Time is flying past. Dear diary, etc.

who up sinking into the abyss?

Moonbuilding Weekly Issue 100 is out now. ISSUE 100! moonbuilding.substack.com/p/issue-100-...

One quick self-toot of the old horn before I move on to the more bill-paying things: I think this song was pretty good for something made with a cheap drum machine and a 3-note DIY MIDI controller + Blofeld, recorded in one shot in the middle of a 25 min set. moonatlas.bandcamp.com/track/lifelike

Oh crap, new Kreng album incoming. kreng.bandcamp.com/album/wormho...

To the person in my neighbourhood whose daily styling goal appears to be "villain in a BBC sitcom about middle-class motherhood": I, "haggard work-at-home father with a laughable electronic music hobby", salute you.

“No, not music. Whatever you do, don’t put on any music.”

This card game I've been working on is playable and imo pretty fun. I'd love it if you checked it out and told me what you thought moviemagic-ten.vercel.app

It's one of those mornings where, due to being in an indefinable funk, I had no idea what I'm in the mood to listen to, so I started browsing my collection alphabetically. Anyway I landed on this and it was the correct choice. #NowPlaying etc. drawingvirtualgardens.bandcamp.com/album/22-22

Still playing this, it's very good for my head/this time of day. We must be nearing 50 releases on QD, I'd love to hear what people think are their favourites - I bet there's a LOT of diff, like when you talk about Susumo Yokata and get a bunch of albums you've never heard and zero consensus:)))

Don't ask me why but I want to listen to gloriously cheesy early/mid-90s progressive house (before it went "cool" in the late 90s). Think BT's Ima (I woke up with "Loving You More" stuck in my head), but not that. Any suggestions? Must be on Qobuz.

There's a couple of codes for our last EP still available here if anyone is interested: band.codes/kilim-mosh/o...

Playing in Norwich this Wednesday

You'll need to move quick on this one. New 2026 Abbey Road half-speed remaster of Geinoh Yamashirogumi's masterpiece Ecophony Rinne, vinyl only, limited to 300 copies. If you've never heard it, I have no higher recommendation. Will sell out almost instantly.

Eff it. Here are some codes. Free eschatology for the masses. moonatlas.bandcamp.com/yum x5ww-etue 46je-ubmu qnbf-ex9p fdvl-35gn 5hgj-xfrj bq2r-ephk 5rla-32a8 8vsg-hlu2 tbq3-5eah 2arl-7b35 xlfn-u5bf jeax-vfsm f77p-6phg mlwr-ynp3 9pj5-bmus 37bb-x6al w5xl-egue c8eq-u3mu pn77-549p rwmd-bpgn

Sons of Kemet are so good.

This is a great book

I know he has a new album he wants to promote but I'm going to break protocol and remind you to go listen to JÆJA (2023) by @worriedaboutsatan.bsky.social because it is top notch. worriedaboutsatan.bandcamp.com/album/j-ja

That time that someone made an anime music video for (an edit of) my remix of "Sullen" by Zxyzxy (now much better known as OKADA and releasing on @n5md.com). youtu.be/A2kXf79ZmyI?...

Still plenty of ad space in Moonbuilding Weekly Issue 99 this Friday. Free Flake with every ad purchased! Not really, but I can go to the shops if it's a deal-breaker.

I'm on the phone with my accountant to discuss the possibility of setting up the purchase of the monthly quiet details release as a pre-tax deduction from my salary.

I forgot about this recursive CD-player/contact-mic jam. I should dig it back up and do something with it.

I received probably the best possible compliment today: in the middle of my gig back in January, someone went on eBay, searched for and bought one of the bits of kit I was using.

This is honestly the scariest thing I've seen all week.

Hey this new Shabaka record is really good, you know.

Folk Horror's not dead yet.

Eating some food with a Use By date of yesterday, just to feel something

I released this almost exactly two years ago not knowing (concretely at least) that it could very well be the thematically appropriate soundtrack to 2026. moonatlas.bandcamp.com/album/bringi...

OK people, I know it's #BandcampFriday but I found some stuff in my desk at work, so I want to give them away to a lucky bluesky user! Please like/share and I'll add you to a list where a random will get a 'Transmission #3' box & a 'Transmission #4' tape pack blackhilltransmissions.bandcamp.com

been reworking my Dane Law Max patches into JavaScript (and React) and ended up making this little synth / sequencer. (Still v beta with lots of bugs to remove and features to add) adamdparkinson.co.uk/orgonedonorp...

#NowPlaying John Wiese - Soft Punk One of my all-time greatest charity shop finds. Oxfam Exeter didn't know what they had on their shelves. johnwiese.bandcamp.com/album/soft-p...

Sure, you knew that it's #BandcampFriday, but did you know that my 1-month-old EP, Lifelike, is only 1 month old? That's not old enough to be put out to pasture yet. It's at its musicological peak of fitness, which sadly never coincides with its peak media attention (which was nil here anyway).

#NowPlaying Sprain - As Lost Through Collision sprain.bandcamp.com/album/as-los...

Last night I thought about some music I would like to produce if I had the energy to produce music.

Current obsession and #NowPlaying: Wickerbird - The Seaweaver. Moody & atmospheric AF acoustic stuff (I suck at / hate genres but if you insist....indie folk?). Shout-out to @losttribesound.bsky.social whose discography is as rich as they come. wickerbird.bandcamp.com/album/the-se...

With my son turning 9 soon and his interests starting to develop, I'm really dreading "the chat", i.e. why all my computers are configured to use the Dvorak layout, why my keyboard has Ctrl where Caps Lock should be, how best to configure Emacs, etc.
