Happy Winter Solstice! My new EP, Season Cycle: Winter, is out now! It's the first of a 4-part series of seasons-themed EPs I will be releasing over the course of 2026. I am super excited to share this project with the world. It's the perfect companion for cold days and cozy nights. (Thread ahead!)

TIL about #FungiFriday hooray! Here are some of what I believe to be Pholiota squarrosa - beautiful but poisonous. #fungus #fruitingbody #mushroom

Who releases #newmusic on a Sunday? I do! Sunday marks the Winter Solstice, and I'm kicking off a new year-long project with Season Cycle: Winter, the first of 4 EPs in which I create a soundtrack for each season. Very excited about this one! Watch this space! #wintersolstice #ambientmusic

Perhaps the coziest version of The Ghost of Christmas Passed is this fireside version by @chrishobbsmusic.bsky.social - it also includes the original Christmas Passed. Get warm and comfy under a blanket with your tea or your toddy and enjoy a crackling fire with quiet music in the background.

Out tomorrow! You can find the compilation on @ampwall.com too, and don't forget the listening party! ampwall.com/a/passedreco...

My album, Confluence, is in the running for Cyclical Magazine's "ambient/Berlin School/Drone/Soundscape Electronic Music" Album of the year! It's up for a public vote, and I'd be honored if you'd vote for me! Vote here: forms.gle/wTeRhAxQQxR4...

Something I love to do for music releases is making extras like a digital booklet. I love perusing liner notes in CDs and I think that's lacking from music experiences today. I made one for The Ghost of Christmas Passed, which was super fun as many other artists participated. Here are some pages:

I played a couple of tracks from this on my latest podcast and can heartily recommend the compilation. If you like Christmas and ambient music it should be right up your street.

It's almost here! No, not Christmas Day, the Passed Recordings Listening Party for our new compilation 'The Ghost Of Christmas Passed'. Join us at 7pm GMT on Friday 19th with your favourite drink and let the festivities begin! See you there passedrecordings.bandcamp.com/merch/the-gh...

The Ghost of Christmas Passed is the featured release on the latest Forgotten Futures! Check out @xylander.bsky.social's awesome mix of #electronic and #ambient songs - including mine - "Sipping whiskey on Christmas Eve, out in the snow, under a full moon"!

Check out this beautiful record from fellow Passed Recordings artist David Aimone. From melancholy acoustic excursions to ever deepening soundscapes to gentle piano refrains, this one's eclectic mix combines modern electronics with neo-classical melodies.

Over longer texts, Calibri's narrower glyphs give it a clear advantage (despite the increased leading). So, really, and especially, for the government's long-ass bills and whatnot, Calibri is the better choice because it will use less paper. That is a hard and fast metric for efficiency.

Not that anybody is convinced by Rubio's arguments, but saying Times New Roman is more efficient than Calibri is nonsense. To back that up: at the same point size, TNR is taller and wider, but Calibri has more native leading. With the same exact text over a page and a half, it's a wash.

Join us for some wonderful, new Christmas time music. It'll be a bit early (on the US west coast) for sipping whiskey, but I'll surely have a coffee in hand.

😊

I'm going to keep pimping this compilation. It's so good! And not just because I'm on it. 😏 www.passedrecordings.com/ghost

Making an afternoon coffee is a ritual worth celebrating - put on some ambient drone, grind your own beans, and bask in the glorious aroma. Pro tip for non-purists: brown sugar.
